“For your sakes I will send to Babylon and bring down all the bars of the gates,+

And the Chal·deʹans, in their ships, will cry out in distress.+

25 Jehovah has opened his storehouse,

And he brings out the weapons of his indignation.+

For the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of armies, has a work

In the land of the Chal·deʹans.

56 For the destroyer will come upon Babylon;+

Her warriors will be captured,+

Their bows will be shattered,

For Jehovah is a God of retribution.+
