and all their bows strung.

For I will soon stir up and bring against Babylon(A)
an assembly of great nations from the north country.
They will line up in battle formation against her;(B)
from there she will be captured.
Their arrows will be like a skilled[a] warrior
who does not return empty-handed.

29 Summon the archers to Babylon,
all who string the bow;
camp all around her; let none escape.
Repay her according to her deeds;(A)
just as she has done, do the same to her,
for she has acted arrogantly against the Lord,
against the Holy One of Israel.(B)

Don’t let the archer string his bow;
