O most haughty one!” says the Lord God of hosts;
“For your day has come,
1The time that I will punish you.
And no one will raise him up;
bI will kindle a fire in his cities,
And it will devour all around him.”
“The children of Israel were oppressed,
Along with the children of Judah;
All who took them captive have held them fast;
They have refused to let them go.
bThe Lord of hosts is His name.
He will thoroughly plead their ccase,
That He may give rest to the land,
And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
“Against the inhabitants of Babylon,
And aagainst her princes and bher wise men.
A sword is against her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.
Against their chariots,
And against all athe mixed peoples who are in her midst;
And bthey will become like women.
A sword is against her treasures, and they will be robbed.
For it is the land of carved images,
And they are insane with their idols.
And the ostriches shall dwell in it.
bIt shall be inhabited no more forever,
Nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“So no one shall reside there,
Nor son of man bdwell in it.
And a great nation and many kings
Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
bThey are cruel and shall not show mercy.
cTheir voice shall roar like the sea;
They shall ride on horses,
Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
