Jeremiah 51:1-5
American Standard Version
51 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in [a]Leb-kamai, a destroying wind. 2 And I will send unto Babylon [b]strangers, that shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about. 3 [c]Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; [d]destroy ye utterly all her host. 4 And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
5 For Israel is not [e]forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
