Jeremiah 50:29-35

29‘Bring all the soldiers with bows and arrows to attack Babylon. They must make their camp all around the city. Do not let anyone escape. Punish the people for the things that they have done. Do the same thing to them that they have done to others. Those people have insulted me, Israel's holy God.

30So Babylon's young men will die in its streets. All its soldiers will die in battle on that day.’ That is what the Lord says.

31The Lord God Almighty says this: ‘You people of Babylon are very proud, so I will fight against you. Now the day has come when I will punish you for your sins.

32You are proud but you will fall to the ground. Nobody will help you to get up. I will burn Babylonia's towns with fire, and it will destroy everything that is around them.’

33The Lord Almighty says, ‘People have been cruel to the people of Israel and Judah. Enemies have taken them away as prisoners. They have refused to let my people go free.

34But my name is the Lord Almighty. I am strong and I will rescue my people. I will fight hard to save them. I will bring peace to their land. But the people of Babylonia will only have trouble.’

35The Lord says, ‘I am sending an army to fight against Babylon. They will attack the people of Babylonia, its leaders and its wise men.
