for her judgment extends to the sky
and reaches as far as the clouds.(B)

10 The Lord has brought about our vindication;(C)

what the Lord our God has accomplished.(D)

11 Sharpen the arrows!(E)

of the kings of the Medes
because his plan is aimed at Babylon
to destroy her,
for it is the Lord’s vengeance,
vengeance for his temple.(F)
