Jeremiah 51:1-4
1This is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am going to stir up 1The 2spirit of a destroyer against Babylon And against the inhabitants of 3Leb-kamai.2I will send 4foreigners to Babylon so that they may 5winnow her And devastate her land; For they will be opposed to her on every side On the day of her disaster.3Let not 6him who 78bends his bow 9bend it, Nor let him rise up in his 10coat of armor. Do not spare her young men; Devote all her army to destruction.4They will fall down 11dead in the land of the Chaldeans, And 12pierced through in their streets.”
