26 Come against her from afar.Break open her granaries;pile her up like heaps of grain.Completely destroy herand leave her no remnant.
27 Kill all her young bulls;let them go down to the slaughter!Woe to them! For their day has come,the time for them to be punished.
28 Listen to the fugitives and refugees from Babylondeclaring in Zionhow the Lord our God has taken vengeance,vengeance for his temple.
29 ‘Summon archers against Babylon,all those who draw the bow.Encamp all round her;let no one escape.Repay her for her deeds;do to her as she has done.For she defied the Lord,the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets;all her soldiers will be silenced in that day,’declares the Lord.
31 ‘See, I am against you, you arrogant one,’declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty,‘for your day has come,the time for you to be punished.
32 The arrogant one will stumble and falland no one will help her up;I will kindle a fire in her townsthat will consume all who are around her.’
