Jeremiah 50:14-16
English Standard Version
14 (A)Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around,
(B)all you who bend the bow;
shoot at her, spare no arrows,
(C)for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 (D)Raise a shout against her all around;
she has surrendered;
her bulwarks have fallen;
(E)her walls are thrown down.
For (F)this is the vengeance of the Lord:
take vengeance on her;
(G)do to her as she has done.
16 Cut off from Babylon the sower,
and the one who handles the sickle in time of harvest;
(H)because of the sword of the oppressor,
(I)every one shall turn to his own people,
and every one shall flee to his own land.
Jeremiah 50:14-16
New Living Translation
14 “Yes, prepare to attack Babylon,
all you surrounding nations.
Let your archers shoot at her; spare no arrows.
For she has sinned against the Lord.
15 Shout war cries against her from every side.
Look! She surrenders!
Her walls have fallen.
It is the Lord’s vengeance,
so take vengeance on her.
Do to her as she has done to others!
16 Take from Babylon all those who plant crops;
send all the harvesters away.
Because of the sword of the enemy,
everyone will run away and rush back to their own lands.
