KJV ORIGINAL
Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
Call up all the archers to surround Babylon — everyone who can draw a bow. Set up camp around the whole city so no one gets out. Give them back exactly what they gave others. They've been arrogant toward God, disrespecting the Holy One of Israel, so now they get what's coming to them.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
What goes around comes around — especially when you've been disrespecting God.
