THE HUMILIATION OF BABYLON

28There is a voice of fugitives and refugees

from the land of Babylon.

The voice announces in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God,

the vengeance for his temple.s

29Summon the archers to Babylon,

all who string the bow;

camp all around her; let none escape.

Repay her according to her deeds;t

just as she has done, do the same to her,

for she has acted arrogantly against the Lord,

against the Holy One of Israel.u
