"Sharpen the arrows!
   Fill the quivers!
God has stirred up the kings of the Medes,
   infecting them with war fever: ’Destroy Babylon!’
God’s on the warpath.
   He’s out to avenge his Temple.
Give the signal to attack Babylon’s walls.
   Station guards around the clock.
Bring in reinforcements.
   Set men in ambush.
God will do what he planned,
   what he said he’d do to the people of Babylon.
You have more water than you need,
   you have more money than you need—
But your life is over,
   your lifeline cut."
