Jeremiah 51:1-3

New Living Translation

51 This is what the Lord says:
“I will stir up a destroyer against Babylon
    and the people of Babylonia.^[a]
2 Foreigners will come and winnow her,
    blowing her away as chaff.
They will come from every side
    to rise against her in her day of trouble.
³ Don’t let the archers put on their armor
    or draw their bows.
Don’t spare even her best soldiers!
    Let her army be completely destroyed.^[b]
