32 You will stumble and fall, O arrogant city,
    and no one will offer to raise you up.
I will kindle a fire in your cities
    that will devour everything within it.

    as are the people of Judah.
All their captors hold them fast

    thereby affording rest to the earth
    while leaving the inhabitants of Babylon in turmoil.
