³⁵¶ A sword is vpon the Caldeans, saith the LORD, and vpon the inhabitants of Babylon, and vpon her princes, and vpon her wise men.

^36‖A sword is vpon the lyers, and they shall dote: a sword is vpon her mighty men, and they shalbe dismayed.

³⁷A sword is vpon their horses, and vpon their charets, and vpon all the mingled people that are in the middest of her, and they shall become as women: a sword is vpon her treasures, and they shall be robbed.
