28 Listen to those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon,
    to declare in Zion the vengeance of Yahweh our God,
    the vengeance of his temple.

29 “Call together the archers against Babylon,
    all those who bend the bow.
Encamp against her all around.
    Let none of it escape.
Pay her back according to her work.
    According to all that she has done, do to her;
for she has been proud against Yahweh,
    against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore her young men will fall in her streets.
    All her men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says Yahweh.
