28 The sound of fugitives, escaping out of the land of Babylon—
declaring in Zion the vengeance of Adonai our God,
vengeance for His Temple.
29 Summon archers to Babylon,

against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore her young men will fall in her squares,
all her warriors silenced in that day.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
