The violence

Bible References

The violence

Open your doors, O Lebanon,
That a fire may feed on your cedars.

Because

“Because you have looted many nations,
All the remainder of the peoples will loot you—
Because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.
But You, O God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction;
Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days.
But I will trust in You.
O daughter of Babylon, you devastated one,
How blessed will be the one who repays you
With the recompense with which you have repaid us.
A man who is laden with the guilt of human blood
Will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him.
Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her.”

Of the city

There is a sound of fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon,
To declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God,
Vengeance for His temple.
“But I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes,” declares the Lord.
