32 The proud one will stumble and fall,and no one will raise him up.I will kindle a fire in his cities,and it will devour all who are around him.”
33 the Lord of Hosts says: “The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together.All who took them captive hold them fast.They refuse to let them go.
34 Their Redeemer is strong:the Lord of Hosts is his name.He will thoroughly plead their cause,that he may give rest to the earth,and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 “A sword is on the Kasdim,” says the Lord,“and on the inhabitants of Babylon,on her princes,and on her wise men.
36 A sword is on the boasters,and they will become fools.A sword is on her mighty men,and they will be dismayed.
37 A sword is on their horses,on their chariots,and on all the mixed people who are in the middle of her;and they will become as women.A sword is on her treasures,and they will be robbed.
38 A drought is on her waters,and they will be dried up;for it is a land of engraved images,and they are mad over idols.
