28. Listen to those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon,to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God,the vengeance of his temple.
29. “Call together the archers against Babylon,all those who bend the bow.Encamp against her all around.Let none of it escape.Pay her back 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 will fall in her streets.All her men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says the Lord.
31. “Behold, I am against you, you proud one,” says the Lord, the Lord of Hosts;“for your day has come,the time that I will visit you.
32. The proud one will stumble and fall,and no one will raise him up.I will kindle a fire in his cities,and it will devour all who are around him.”
