49:31The Lord says,70 “Army of Babylon,71 go and attack
a nation that lives in peace and security.
They have no gates or walls to protect them.72
They live all alone.
49:32Their camels will be taken as plunder.
Their vast herds will be taken as spoil.
I will scatter to the four winds
those desert peoples who cut their hair short at the temples.73
I will bring disaster against them
from every direction,” says the Lord.74
Footnotes
- 70 Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
- 71 The words “Army of Babylon” are not in the text but are implicit from the context. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.
- 72 Heb “no gates and no bar,” i.e., “that lives securely without gates or bars.” The phrase is used by the figure of species for genus (synecdoche) to refer to the fact that they have no defenses, i.e., no walls, gates, or bars on the gates. The figure has been interpreted in the translation for the benefit of the average reader.
- 73 See the translator’s note at and compare the usage in 9:26 and 25:23.
- 74 Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

those who cut the corners of their hair,
and I will bring their calamity
from every side of them,
declares the Lord.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Rise up, attack a nation at ease,
one living in security.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
They have no doors, not even a gate bar;
they live alone.
Their camels will become plunder,
and their massive herds of cattle will become spoil.
I will scatter them to the wind in every direction,
those who clip the hair on their temples;
I will bring calamity on them across all their borders.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

without walls or gates.
Their camels and other livestock will all be yours.
I will scatter to the winds these people
who live in remote places.
I will bring calamity upon them
from every direction,” says the Lord.

Rise up, go up against a nation which is at ease,
living securely,” declares Yahweh.
“There are no gates and there are no bars for them,
they dwell alone.
And their camels will become as plunder,
and the multitude of their livestock as spoil.
And I will scatter to every wind those who are trimmed to the side,
and from every side I will bring their disaster,” declares Yahweh.

Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation,
That dwelleth without care, saith the Lord,
Which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.

And the multitude of their cattle a spoil:
And I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners;
And I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Lord.
