32 And the arrogant one will stumble and fall,
    and there is no one who raises him up.
And I will kindle a fire in his cities,
    and it will devour everything around him.”

33 Thus says Yahweh of hosts:

“The people[a] of Israel are oppressed,
    and the people[b] of Judah likewise,
for[c] all their captors have seized them,
    they refuse to let them go free.
34 Their redeemer is strong,
    his name is Yahweh of hosts.
Surely he will plead their case,
    in order to make peace for the earth,
but to cause unrest to the inhabitants of Babylon.

“The people of Israel are oppressed,(E)
    and the people of Judah as well.
All their captors hold them fast,
    refusing to let them go.(F)
34 Yet their Redeemer(G) is strong;
    the Lord Almighty(H) is his name.
He will vigorously defend their cause(I)
    so that he may bring rest(J) to their land,
    but unrest to those who live in Babylon.
