A Message Concerning Babylon

27 Put all her bulls to the sword, let them go down to the slaughter. How terrible for them because their day has come, the time of their judgment. 28 "The sound of fugitives and refugees will come from the land of Babylon to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, vengeance for his Temple. 29 "Summon many to Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Camp all around her, let no one escape. Repay her according to her deeds. Do to her just as she has done. For she has behaved arrogantly against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
