Jeremiah 51:1-4

1This is what the LORD says:

“Behold, I will stir up against Babylonand against the people of Leb-kamai1the spirit of a destroyer.2I will send strangers to Babylonto winnow her and empty her land;for they will come against her from every sidein her day of disaster.

3Do not let the archer bend his bowor put on his armor.Do not spare her young men;devote all her army to destruction!24And they will fall slain in the land of the Chaldeans,3and pierced through in her streets.
