Jeremiah 51:1-5

English Standard Version

51 Thus says the Lord:
“Behold, I will stir up ^(A)the spirit of a destroyer
    against Babylon,
    against the inhabitants of Leb-kamai,^[a]
2 and I will send to Babylon winnowers,
    and ^(B)they shall winnow her,
and they shall empty her land,
    when they come against her from every side
    ^(C)on the day of trouble.
^3 (D)Let not the archer bend his bow,
    and let him not stand up in his armor.
Spare not her young men;
    ^(E)devote to destruction^[b] all her army.
⁴ They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,
    ^(F)and wounded in her streets.
^5 (G)For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken
    by their God, the Lord of hosts,
but the land of the Chaldeans^[c] is full of guilt
    against the Holy One of Israel.
