28  The voice of tthem that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon,

To ttdeclare in Zion uvthe vengeance of the Lord our God,

uThe vengeance of whis temple.

29  Call together xthe archers against Babylon:

yAll ye that bend the bow, camp against it yround about;

ppLet none thereof escape:

zRecompense her according to her work;

According to all that she hath done, do unto her:

aFor she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.

30  bTherefore shall her young men fall in the streets,

bAnd all her men of war cshall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord.

31  Behold, I am against thee, O thou †most proud,

Saith the Lord God of hosts:

dFor thy day is come, dethe time that I will visit thee.

32  And †the most proud shall stumble and fall,

And none shall raise him up:

fAnd gI will kindle a fire in his cities,

fAnd it shall devour all round about him.

33  Thus saith the Lord of hosts;

hThe children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together:

And all that took them captives held them fast;

iThey refused to let them go.

34  jTheir Redeemer is kstrong;

lThe Lord of hosts is his name:

mHe shall throughly plead their cause,

That he may give rest to the land,

And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
