35The Lord says,

“Let a sword kill the people living in Babylon

and her officers and wise men!

36Let a sword kill her false prophets,

and they will become fools.

Let a sword kill her warriors,

and they will be full of terror.

37Let a sword kill her horses and chariots

and all the soldiers hired from other countries!

Then they will be like frightened women.

Let a sword attack her treasures,

so they will be taken away.
