    the Lord of the Heavenly Armies is his name.
He will vigorously plead their case
    in order to bring rest to the earth,

    declares the Lord,
“and against the inhabitants of Babylon,
    against her officials and her wise men.
36 A sword against the diviners.[b]
    They’ll be made fools.
A sword against her warriors.
    They’ll be shattered.
