All you who bend the bow, encamp against it all around;
Let none of them1 escape.
aRepay her according to her work;
According to all she has done, do to her;
bFor she has been proud against the Lord,
Against the Holy One of Israel.

And it will devour all around him.”

Along with the children of Judah;
All who took them captive have held them fast;
They have refused to let them go.
