25 I've brought out my weapons,
and with them I will put a curse
    on Babylonia.

26 Come from far away,
    you enemies of Babylon!

    from its storehouses,
and destroy it completely,

27 Kill the soldiers of Babylonia,
because the time has come
    for them to be punished.

    let them go down to the slaughter!(G)

    the time(I) for them to be punished.
