There is a ^(C1)sound of fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the ^(C2)vengeance of the LORD our God, Vengeance for His ^(C3)temple.

"Summon ^(F1)many against Babylon, All those who ^(F2)bend the bow: Encamp against her on every side, Let there be no escape^(F3). Repay her according to her work; ^(C1)According to all that she has done, so do to her; For she has become ^(C2)arrogant against the LORD, Against the Holy One of Israel.

-"Therefore her ^(C1)young men will fall in her streets, And all her men of war will ^(C2)perish on that day," declares the LORD.

"Behold, ^(C1)I am against you, ^(F1)arrogant one," Declares the Lord ^(F2)GOD of armies, "For your day has come, The time ^(F3)when I will punish you.

-"The ^(F1)(C1)arrogant one will stumble and fall With no one to raise him up; And I will ^(C2)set fire to his cities, And it will devour all his surroundings."
