³⁴ Their saviour is strong; the Lord of armies is his name: he will certainly take up their cause, so that he may give rest to the earth and trouble to the people of Babylon.

³⁶ For this reason the Lord has said: See, I will give support to your cause, and take payment for what you have undergone; I will make her sea dry, and her fountain without water.

⁹ I will undergo the wrath of the Lord, because of my sin against him; till he takes up my cause and does what is right for me: when he makes me come out into the light, I will see his righteousness;

¹⁴ The Lord, who has taken up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, Because of you I have sent to Babylon, and made all their seers come south, and the Chaldaeans whose cry is in the ships.

¹¹ For their saviour is strong, and he will take up their cause against you.

³ And it will be, in the day when the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your trouble, and from the hard yoke which they had put on you,

⁴ That you will take up this bitter song against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the cruel overseer come to an end! He who was lifted up in pride is cut off;

⁵ The stick of the evil-doers, the rod of the rulers, is broken by the Lord;

⁶ He whose rod was on the peoples with an unending wrath, ruling the nations in passion, with an uncontrolled rule.

⁷ All the earth is at rest and is quiet: they are bursting into song.

¹⁴ Have no fear, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will be your helper, says the Lord, even he who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel.

⁴ Says the Lord who takes up our cause; the Lord of armies is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

²² This is the word of the Lord your master, even your God who takes up the cause of his people: See, I have taken out of your hand the cup which overcomes, even the cup of my wrath; it will not again be given to you:

⁸ For this reason in one day will her troubles come, death and sorrow and need of food; and she will be completely burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who is her judge.

¹ After these things there came to my ears a sound like the voice of a great band of people in heaven, saying, Praise to the Lord; salvation and glory and power be to our God:

² For true and upright are his decisions; for by him has the evil woman been judged, who made the earth unclean with the sins of her body; and he has given her punishment for the blood of his servants.

³ And again they said, Praise to the Lord. And her smoke went up for ever and ever.

⁶ For it is an act of righteousness on God's part to give trouble as their reward to those who are troubling you,

⁷ And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven with the angels of his power in flames of fire,

¹⁰ Be in pain, make sounds of grief, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth: for now you will go out of the town, living in the open country, and will come even to Babylon; there you will have salvation; there the Lord will make you free from the hands of your haters.

¹ <Of David.> O Lord, be on my side against those who are judging me; be at war with those who make war against me.

¹ Be my judge, O God, supporting my cause against a nation without religion; O keep me from the false and evil man.

²³ For the Lord will give support to their cause, and take the life of those who take their goods.

⁶ The Lord, the King of Israel, even the Lord of armies who has taken up his cause, says, I am the first and the last, and there is no God but me.

²³ Make a song, O heavens, for the Lord has done it: give a loud cry, you deep parts of the earth: let your voices be loud in song, you mountains, and you woods with all your trees: for the Lord has taken up the cause of Jacob, and will let his glory be seen in Israel.

²⁴ The Lord, who has taken up your cause, and who gave you life in your mother's body, says, I am the Lord who makes all things; stretching out the heavens by myself, and giving the earth its limits; who was with me?

⁵ For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.

²¹ I will keep you safe from the hands of the evil-doers, and I will give you salvation from the hands of the cruel ones.

¹⁹ The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.

⁶ Say then to the children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will take you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, and make you safe from their power, and will make you free by the strength of my arm after great punishments.
