Jeremiah 51:1-3
Holman Christian Standard Bible
God’s Judgment on Babylon
51 This is what the Lord says:
I am about to stir up a destructive wind[a] against Babylon(A)
and against the population of Leb-qamai.[b][c]
2 I will send strangers to Babylon
who will scatter her and strip her land bare,(B)
for they will come against her
from every side in the day of disaster.
3 Don’t let the archer string his bow;
don’t let him put on[d] his armor.(C)
Don’t spare her young men;
completely destroy her entire army!
