3. Against her let the archer bend his bow,And lift himself up against her in his armor.Do not spare her young men;Utterly destroy all her army.
4. Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans,And those thrust through in her streets.
5. For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah,By his God, the Lord of hosts,Though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.”
6. Flee from the midst of Babylon,And every one save his life!Do not be cut off in her iniquity,For this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance;He shall recompense her.
