Jeremiah 51:1-5

Living Bible

51 The Lord says: I will stir up a destroyer against Babylon, against that whole land of the Chaldeans, and destroy it. ² Winnowers shall come and winnow her and blow her away; they shall come from every side to rise against her in her day of trouble. ³ The arrows of the enemy shall strike down the bowmen of Babylon and pierce her warriors in their coats of mail. No one shall be spared; both young and old alike shall be destroyed. ⁴ They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, slashed to death in her streets. ⁵ For the Lord Almighty has not forsaken Israel and Judah. He is still their God, but the land of the Chaldeans^[a] is filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
