137:8 O daughter Babylon, soon to be devastated! 1
How blessed will be the one who repays you
for what you dished out to us! 2
137:9 How blessed will be the one who grabs your babies
and smashes them on a rock! 3
10:14 The roar of battle will rise against your people;
all your fortresses will be devastated,
just as Shalman devastated 4 Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.
3:10 Yet she went into captivity as an exile; 5
even her infants were smashed to pieces 6 at the head of every street.
They cast lots 7 for her nobility; 8
all her dignitaries were bound with chains.
