Jeremiah 50:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 Draw up your battle lines against Babylon on every side,
All of you who [a]bend the bow;
Shoot at her, do not spare your arrows,
For she has (A)sinned against the Lord.
15 Raise your battle cry against her on every side!
She has (B)given [b]herself up, her towers have fallen,
Her (C)walls have been torn down.
For this is the (D)vengeance of the Lord:
Take vengeance on her;
(E)As she has done to others, so do to her.
16 Eliminate the (F)sower from Babylon
And the one who wields the sickle at the time of harvest;
From [c]the (G)sword of the oppressor
(H)Each of them will turn back to his own people
And each of them will flee to his own land.

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.
