28 “A voice! They (A)flee and escape from the land of Babylon, (B)to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, vengeance for (C)his temple.

29 (D)“Summon archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. (E)Encamp around her; let no one escape. (F)Repay her according to her deeds; do to her according to all that she has done. For she has (G)proudly defied the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 30 (H)Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares, and all her soldiers shall be destroyed on that day, declares the Lord.

31 “Behold, I am against you, O (I)proud one,
    declares the Lord God of hosts,
(J)for your day has come,
    the time when I will punish you.
32 (K)The proud one shall stumble and fall,
    with none to raise him up,
(L)and I will kindle a fire in his cities,
    and it will devour all that is around him.
