28 The Babylonian armydestroyed my temple,but soon I will take revenge.Then refugees from Babylonwill tell about it in Zion.
29 Attack Babylon, enemy archers;set up camp around the city,and don't let anyone escape.It challenged me, the holy God,so do to itwhat it did to other cities.
30 People of Babylon,I, the Lord, promisethat even your best soldierswill lie dead in the streets.
31 Babylon, you should be named,“The Proud One”.But the time has come when I,the Lord All-Powerful,will punish you.
32 You are proud,but you will stumble and fall,and no one will help you up.I will set your villages on fire,and everything around youwill go up in flames.
33 You Babylonians were cruelto Israel and Judah.You took them captive, and nowyou refuse to let them go.
34 But I, the Lord All-Powerful,will rescue and protect them.I will bring peace to their landand trouble to yours.
