Like whirlwinds^(C) sweeping through the southland,^(D)
    an invader comes from the desert,
    from a land of terror.

⁹ Look, here comes a man in a chariot^(A)
    with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
    ‘Babylon^(B) has fallen,^(C) has fallen!
All the images of its gods^(D)
    lie shattered^(E) on the ground!’”
