There is a ^(A)sound of fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon,
To declare in Zion the ^(B)vengeance of the Lord our God,
Vengeance for His ^(C)temple.

“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;
^(D)According to all that she has done, so do to her;
For she has become ^(E)arrogant against the Lord,
Against the Holy One of Israel.

“Therefore her ^(F)young men will fall in her streets,
And all her men of war will be ^(d)^(G)silenced in that day,” declares the Lord.

“Behold, ^(H)I am against you, O ^(e)arrogant one,”
Declares the Lord ^(f)God of hosts,
“For your day has come,
The time ^(g)when I will punish you.

“The ^(h)^(I)arrogant one will stumble and fall
With no one to raise him up;
And I will ^(J)set fire to his cities
And it will devour all his environs.”
