for the destroyer is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah is a God of recompenses, he will surely requite.

For the waster has come on her, even on Babylon, and her men of war are taken, their bows are broken: for the Lord is a rewarding God, and he will certainly give payment.

διοτι ο εξολοθρευτης ηλθεν επ' αυτην, επι την Βαβυλωνα, και οι δυνατοι αυτης συνεληφθησαν, τα τοξα αυτων συνετριβησαν· επειδη Κυριος ο Θεος των ανταποδοσεων θελει εξαπαντος καμει ανταποδοσιν.

Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the Lord God of recompences shall surely requite.
