33. the Lord of Hosts says: “The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together.All who took them captive hold them fast.They refuse to let them go.
34. Their Redeemer is strong:the Lord of Hosts is his name.He will thoroughly plead their cause,that he may give rest to the earth,and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35. “A sword is on the Kasdim,” says the Lord,“and on the inhabitants of Babylon,on her princes,and on her wise men.
36. A sword is on the boasters,and they will become fools.A sword is on her mighty men,and they will be dismayed.
