Because of you, I will send an army^[a] to Babylon
and bring all of them as fugitives,^[b]
even the Chaldeans^(C) in the ships in which they rejoice.^[c]

¹³ I have stirred him up in righteousness,^(A)
and will level all roads for him.
He will rebuild my city,^(B)
and set my exiles free,^(C)
not for a price or a bribe,”
says the Lord of Armies.

⁸ Do not rejoice over me,^(A) my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will stand up;^(B)
though I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be my light.^(C)
9 Because I have sinned against him,
I must endure the Lord’s fury
until he champions my cause^(D)
and establishes justice for me.^(E)
He will bring me into the light;^(F)
I will see his salvation.^[a](G)
10 Then my enemy will see,
and she will be covered with shame,
the one who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?” ^(H)
My eyes will look at her in triumph;
at that time she will be trampled
like mud in the streets.^(I)
