Jeremiah 50:14-16
New Century Version
Jeremiah 50:14-16
New Century Version
14 “Take your positions for war against Babylon,
all you soldiers with bows.
Shoot your arrows at Babylon! Do not save any of them,
because Babylon has sinned against the Lord.
15 Soldiers around Babylon, shout the war cry!
Babylon has surrendered, her towers have fallen,
and her walls have been torn down.
The Lord is giving her people the punishment they deserve.
You nations should give her what she deserves;
do to her what she has done to others.
16 Don’t let the people from Babylon plant their crops
or gather the harvest.
The soldiers treated their captives cruelly.
Now, let everyone go back home.
Let everyone run to his own country.

14 “Take up your positions around Babylon,
all you who draw the bow.(A)
Shoot at her! Spare no arrows,(B)

15 Shout(C) against her on every side!
She surrenders, her towers fall,
her walls(D) are torn down.

take vengeance on her;
do to her(F) as she has done to others.(G)

and the reaper with his sickle at harvest.
Because of the sword(H) of the oppressor
let everyone return to their own people,(I)
let everyone flee to their own land.(J)
