NETBible

For a destroyer is attacking Babylon.¹ Her warriors will be captured; their bows will be broken.² For the Lord is a God who punishes;³ he pays back in full.⁴

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “for a destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon.”

²tn The Piel form (which would be intransitive here, see GKC 142 §52.k) should probably be emended to Qal.

³tn Or “God of retribution.”

⁴tn The infinitive absolute emphasizes the following finite verb. Another option is to translate, “he certainly pays one back.” The translation assumes that the imperfect verbal form here describes the Lord’s characteristic actions. Another option is to take it as referring specifically to his judgment on Babylon, in which case one should translate, “he will pay (Babylon) back in full.”
