Jeremiah 50:14-16
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Arrange your battle lines against Babylon on every side,
All you who [a]bend the bow;
Shoot at her, do not be sparing with your arrows,
For she has (A)sinned against Yahweh.
15 Raise a loud shout against her on every side!
She has (B)given [b]herself up, her pillars have fallen,
Her (C)walls have been pulled down.
For this is the (D)vengeance of Yahweh:
Take vengeance on her;
(E)As she has done to others, so do to her.
16 Cut off the (F)sower from Babylon
And the one who seizes the sickle at the time of harvest;
From before [c]the (G)sword of the oppressor
(H)They will each turn back to his own people,
And they will each flee to his own land.

New International Version
14 “Take up your positions around Babylon,
all you who draw the bow.(A)
Shoot at her! Spare no arrows,(B)
for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 Shout(C) against her on every side!
She surrenders, her towers fall,
her walls(D) are torn down.
Since this is the vengeance(E) of the Lord,
take vengeance on her;
do to her(F) as she has done to others.(G)
16 Cut off from Babylon the sower,
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)
