Jeremiah 51:3-5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ Let not the archer bend his bow,
    and let him not stand up in his coat of mail.
Spare not her young men;
    utterly destroy all her host.
⁴ They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chalde′ans,
    and wounded in her streets.
⁵ For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken
    by their God, the Lord of hosts;
but the land of the Chalde′ans^[a] is full of guilt
    against the Holy One of Israel.
