⁵⁶ For the waster has come on her, even on Babylon, and her men of war are taken, their bows are broken: for the Lord is a rewarding God, and he will certainly give payment.

⁸ Because you have taken their goods from great nations, all the rest of the peoples will take your goods from you; because of men's blood and violent acts against the land and the town and all who are living in it.

⁴⁸ And the heaven and the earth and everything in them, will make a song of joy over Babylon: for those who make her waste will come from the north, says the Lord.

⁶ Go in flight out of Babylon, so that every man may keep his life; do not be cut off in her evil-doing: for it is the time of the Lord's punishment; he will give her her reward.

¹ O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.

² Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.

⁹ He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.

³⁵ Punishment is mine and reward, at the time of the slipping of their feet: for the day of their downfall is near, sudden will be their fate.

³ There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah.)

¹⁸ He will give them the right reward of their doings, wrath to his attackers, punishment to his haters, and even on the sea-lands he will send punishment.

²⁴ And I will give to Babylon, and to all the people of Chaldaea, their reward for all the evil they have done in Zion before your eyes, says the Lord.

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.

²⁰ Be glad over her, heaven, and you saints, and Apostles, and prophets; because she has been judged by God on your account.

⁵ For her sins have gone up even to heaven, and God has taken note of her evil-doing.

⁶ Give to her as she gave, even an increased reward for her works; in the cup which was mixed by her, let there be mixed as much again for herself.

¹⁶ And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will be turned against the evil woman, and will make her waste and uncovered, and will take her flesh for food, and will have her burned with fire.

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

⁹ And those who are living in the towns of Israel will go out and make fires of the instruments of war, burning the body-covers and the breastplates, the bows and the arrows and the sticks and the spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them:

⁴ The bows of the men of war are broken, and the feeble are clothed with strength.

¹⁵ But their swords will be turned into their hearts, and their bows will be broken.

⁸ O daughter of Babylon, whose fate is destruction; happy is the man who does to you what you have done to us.

² A vision of fear comes before my eyes; the worker of deceit goes on in his false way, and the waster goes on making waste. Up! Elam; to the attack! Media; I have put an end to her sorrow.

⁸ For it is the day of the Lord's punishment, when he gives payment for the wrongs done to Zion.

⁴ Say to those who are full of fear, Be strong and take heart: see, your God will give punishment; the reward of God will come; he himself will come to be your saviour.

³⁵ This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will have the bow of Elam, their chief strength, broken.

¹⁰ And the wealth of Chaldaea will come into the hands of her attackers: all those who take her wealth will have enough, says the Lord.

²⁸ The voice of those who are in flight, who have got away safe from the land of Babylon, to give news in Zion of punishment from the Lord our God, even payment for his Temple.

²⁹ Send for the archers to come together against Babylon, all the bowmen; put up your tents against her on every side; let no one get away: give her the reward of her work; as she has done, so do to her: for she has been uplifted in pride against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.

³⁶ A sword is on the men of pride, and they will become foolish: a sword is on her men of war, and they will be broken.

³⁰ Babylon's men of war have kept back from the fight, waiting in their strong places; their strength has given way, they have become like women: her houses have been put on fire, her locks are broken.

³ And with a blow I will send your bow out of your left hand and your arrows falling from your right hand.

²⁴ But their bows were broken by a strong one, and the cords of their arms were cut by the Strength of Jacob, by the name of the Stone of Israel:
