Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.

The verse 3 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. God announces Babylon’s destruction through images of destructive wind, threshing, and judgment. In contrast, Israel and Judah are called to remember the Creator of all things. True security is not found in the empire or its gods, but in Yahweh, who made the earth and can bring down what appears invincible.

denn ihre Schützen werden nicht schießen, und ihre Geharnischten werden sich nicht wehren können. So verschont nun ihre junge Mannschaft nicht, verbannet all ihr Heer,
Diré al flechero que entesa su arco, y al que se pone orgulloso con su loriga: No perdonéis a sus mancebos, destruid todo su ejército.
¡Que el arquero tense su arco contra el que tensa el suyo y contra el que se alza con su coraza! No tengan compasión de sus jóvenes; destruyan por completo todo su ejército.
Qu'on tende l'arc contre celui qui tend son arc, Contre celui qui est fier dans sa cuirasse! N'épargnez pas ses jeunes hommes! Exterminez toute son armée!
Tenda l’arciero l’arco contro a chi tende l’arco, e contro a colui che si rizza nella sua corazza; e non risparmiate i giovani di essa, distruggete tutto il suo esercito.
O flecheiro arme o seu arco contra o que arma o seu arco, e contra o que se exalta na sua couraça; e não perdoeis aos seus jovens; destruí a todo o seu exército.
不要叫拉弓的拉弓, 不要叫他佩戴盔甲 ; 不要憐惜 巴比倫 的壯丁, 要滅盡它的全軍。
