Jeremiah 50:29-35
29“Summon 1many against Babylon, All those who 2bend the bow: Encamp against her on every side, Let there be no escape3. Repay her according to her work; 4According to all that she has done, so do to her; For she has become 5arrogant against the Lord, Against the Holy One of Israel.30Therefore her 6young men will fall in her streets, And all her men of war will be 78silenced in that day,” declares the Lord.31“Behold, 9I am against you, O 10arrogant one,” Declares the Lord 11God of hosts, “For your day has come, The time 12when I will punish you.32The 1314arrogant one will stumble and fall With no one to raise him up; And I will 15set fire to his cities And it will devour all his environs.”
33Thus says the Lord of hosts, “The sons of Israel are oppressed, And the sons of Judah as well; And 16all who took them captive have held them fast, They have refused to let them go.34Their 17Redeemer is strong, 18the Lord of hosts is His name; He will vigorously 19plead their case So that He may 20bring rest to 21the earth, But turmoil to the inhabitants of Babylon.35A 22sword against the Chaldeans,” declares the Lord, “And against the inhabitants of Babylon And against her 23officials and her 24wise men!
