30. Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, said the Lord.
31. Behold, I am against thee, O thou proud one, said the Lord GOD of the hosts; for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.
32. And the proud one shall stumble and fall and have no one to raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33. Thus hath the Lord of the hosts said: The sons of Israel and the sons of Judah were oppressed together; and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34. Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of the hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause that he may give rest to the land and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35. A sword is upon the Chaldeans, said the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon and upon her princes and upon her wise men.
36. A sword is upon the fortune-tellers; and they shall be fools: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be broken.
37. A sword is upon their horses and upon their chariots and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women; a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
38. A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up; for it is the land of graven images, and they are become mad upon their idols.
39. Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall no longer be inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
