28 Listen! Fugitives and refugees from Babylon
    are coming to Zion to tell about
        the vengeance of Yahweh our Elohim, the vengeance for his temple.

29 “Call together the archers, the soldiers with bows, against Babylon.
    Set up blockades around it. Don’t let anyone escape.
    Pay the people of Babylon back for what they have done.
        Do to them what they did to others.
    They have disobeyed Yahweh, Qedosh Yisrael.
30 That is why their young men will die in the streets,
    and all their soldiers will be silenced that day,”
        declares Yahweh.
