ESVEnglish Standard Version

“A voice! They flee and escape from the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, vengeance for his temple.

“Summon archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp around her; let no one escape. Repay her according to her deeds; do to her according to all that she has done. For she has proudly defied the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares, and all her soldiers shall be destroyed on that day, declares the Lord.

“Behold, I am against you, O proud one,

declares the Lord God of hosts,

for your day has come,

the time when I will punish you.

The proud one shall stumble and fall,

with none to raise him up,

and I will kindle a fire in his cities,

and it will devour all that is around him.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

There 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.

Summon the archers to Babylon,

all who string the bow;

camp all around her; let none escape.

Repay her according to her deeds;

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

for she has acted arrogantly against the Lord,

against the Holy One of Israel.

Therefore, her young men will fall

in her public squares;

all the warriors will perish in that day.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

Look, I am against you, you arrogant one—

this is the declaration of

the Lord God of Armies—

for your day has come,

the time when I will punish you.

The arrogant will stumble and fall

with no one to pick him up.

I will set fire to his cities,

and it will consume everything around him.

NLTNew Living Translation

Listen to the people who have escaped from Babylon,

as they tell in Jerusalem

how the Lord our God has taken vengeance

against those who destroyed his Temple.

“Send out a call for archers to come to Babylon.

Surround the city so none can escape.

Do to her as she has done to others,

for she has defied the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

Her young men will fall in the streets and die.

Her soldiers will all be killed,”

says the Lord.

“See, I am your enemy, you arrogant people,”

says the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

“Your day of reckoning has arrived—

the day when I will punish you.

O land of arrogance, you will stumble and fall,

and no one will raise you up.

For I will light a fire in the cities of Babylon

that will burn up everything around them.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

There is the sound of fugitives and survivors

from the land of Babylon,

to declare in Zion the vengeance of Yahweh our God,

the vengeance for his temple.

Summon archers against Babylon,

all those who bend the bow.

Encamp all around her,

there must not be for her an escape.

Take revenge on her according to her deeds.

According to all that she has done, so do to her.

For against Yahweh she has behaved insolently,

against the Holy One of Israel.

Therefore her young men will fall in her public squares,

and all her soldiers will perish on that day,” declares Yahweh.

“Look, I am against you, O arrogant one,”

declares Lord Yahweh of hosts,

“for your day has come,

the time when I will punish you.

And the arrogant one will stumble and fall,

and there is no one who raises him up.

And I will kindle a fire in his cities,

and it will devour everything around him.”

KJV 1900King James Version

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

To declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God,

The vengeance of his temple.

Call together the archers against Babylon:

All ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about;

Let none thereof escape:

Recompense her according to her work;

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

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

Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets,

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

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

Saith the Lord God of hosts:

For thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.

And the most proud shall stumble and fall,

And none shall raise him up:

And I will kindle a fire in his cities,

And it shall devour all round about him.
