⁹ Car voici, je m'en vais susciter et faire venir contre Babylone une assemblée de grandes nations du pays de l'Aquilon, qui se rangeront en bataille contre elle, de sorte qu'elle sera prise. Leurs flèches seront comme celles d'un homme puissant, qui ne fait que détruire, et qui ne retourne point à vide.

⁸ Fille de Babylone, [qui va être] détruite, heureux celui qui te rendra la pareille [de ce] que tu nous as fait!

³ My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats; For Yahweh of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.

⁴ From him will come forth the cornerstone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.

⁵ They shall be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because Yahweh is with them; and the riders on horses will be confounded.
