For this is the work of the Lord God of hosts
In the land of the Chaldeans.
Open her storehouses;
Cast her up as heaps of ruins,
And destroy her utterly;
Let nothing of her be left.
Let them go down to the slaughter.
Woe to them!
For their day has come, the time of btheir punishment.
aDeclares in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God,
The vengeance of His temple.
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 all her men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord.
O most haughty one!” says the Lord God of hosts;
“For your day has come,
1The time that I will punish you.
