Jeremiah 50:14-16

International Children’s Bible

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