26 Come against Babylon from far away.
    Break open her storehouses of grain.
    Pile up her dead bodies like heaps of grain.
Completely destroy Babylon
    and do not leave anyone alive.
27 Kill all the young men in Babylon;
    let them be killed like animals.
How terrible it will be for them, because the time has come for their defeat;
    it is time for them to be punished.
28 Listen to the people running to escape the country of Babylon!
    They are telling Jerusalem
how the Lord our God is punishing Babylon as it deserves
    for destroying his Temple.
