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].
Repay her according to her work;
^(A)According to all that she has done, so do to her;
For she has become ^(B)arrogant against the Lord,
Against the Holy One of Israel.

⁵⁶ For the ^(A)destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon,
And her warriors will be captured,
Their ^(B)bows shattered;
For the Lord is a God of ^(C)retribution,
He will fully repay.

⁸ Since you have ^(A)looted many nations,
All the rest of the peoples will loot you—
Because of human bloodshed and violence ^[a]done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.
