33 This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says:

“The people of Israel
    and Judah are ·slaves [oppressed].
·The enemy took them as prisoners [L Their captors have seized them]
    and won’t let them go.
34 But ·God is strong and will buy them back [L their redeemer is strong].
    His name is the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts].
He will surely ·defend them with power [take up their cause/case]
    so he can give rest to their land.
    But ·he will not give rest [turmoil] to those living in Babylon.”

But turmoil to the inhabitants of Babylon.
