29 “Summon [a]many against Babylon,
All those who [b]bend the bow:
Encamp against her on every side,
Let there be no escape[c].

Against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore her (C)young men will fall in her open squares,
And all her men of war will be [d](D)silenced in that day,” declares Yahweh.
31 “Behold, (E)I am against you, O [e]arrogant one,”
Declares Lord Yahweh of hosts,
“For your day has come,
The time [f]when I will punish you.
