Yahweh continues telling how to destroy the people of Babylon and Chaldea.
# the archers ... those who bend their bows

# her ... her ... she
The words "her" and "she" refer to Babylon.
# let no one escape
This can be stated in positive form. Alternate translation: "capture or kill every person"
# Do to her by the measure she has used
The evil things the Babylonians did to Israel are spoken of as if Babylon measured them. Alternate translation: "Measure out punishment for her with the same amount she used to punish Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
