29 Summon the archers to Babylon,
all who string the bow;
camp all round her; let none escape.
Repay her according to her deeds;(A)

against the Holy One of Israel.(B)
30 Therefore, her young men will fall

this is the declaration of
the Lord God of Armies –
for your day has come,
the time when I will punish you.
