26. Come against her from the utmost border,open her storehouses;cast her up as heaps and destroy her utterly;let nothing of her be left.
27. Slay all her bulls,let them go down to the slaughter.Woe to them! For their day has come,the time of their punishment.
28. There is the sound of those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon,to declare in Zionthe vengeance of the Lord our God,the vengeance of His temple.
29. Call together the archers against Babylon.All you who bend the bow,encamp against it all around;let no one escape.Recompense her according to her work;according to all that she has done, do to her,for she has been proud against the Lord,against the Holy One of Israel.
30. Therefore her young men shall fall in the streets,and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day,says the Lord.
