I have heard the gossip of many;

terror is on every side.

When they conspired against me,

they plotted to take my life.

And every stroke of the appointed[fn] staff

that the LORD brings down on him

will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres;

they never look back,

terror is on every side!

the glorious staff! ”

“Terror is on every side! ”

Summon the archers to Babylon,

all who string the bow;

camp all around her; let none escape.

Repay her according to her deeds;

against the Holy One of Israel.

I will send strangers to Babylon

who will scatter her and strip her land bare,

for they will come against her

from every side in the day of disaster.

You summon those who terrorize me[fn] on every side,

as if for an appointed festival day;

on the day of the LORD’s anger

no one escaped or survived.

My enemy has destroyed

those I nurtured[fn] and reared.
