27 Slay all her bulls;
    lead them down to the slaughterhouse.
Woe to them, for their time has come,
    their day of punishment.
28 Listen! Fugitives and refugees
    from the land of Babylon
have arrived in Zion to proclaim
    the vengeance of the Lord, our God,
    the vengeance he inflicts for his temple.

    all those who are skilled with the bow.
Surround her on all sides;
    allow no one to escape.
Repay her in full for her misdeeds;
    treat her as she has treated others.
