The Desolation of Babylon

33 This is what the Lord of Armies says:

Israelites and Judeans alike have been oppressed.
All their captors hold them fast;(A)

34 Their Redeemer is strong;
the Lord of Armies is his name.
He will fervently champion their cause(B)
so that he might bring rest to the earth

against those who live in Babylon,
against her officials, and against her sages.
