Jeremiah 51:1-5

Modern English Version

I will raise up against Babylon,
    and against those who dwell in Leb Kamai,
    the spirit of a destroyer.
² And I will send foreigners to Babylon
    that they may winnow her and empty her land.
For in the day of trouble
    they will be against her all around.
³ Let not him who bends his bow bend it,
    and let him not rise up in his scale-armor,
and do not spare her young men;
    utterly destroy all her host.
⁴ Thus the slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans,
    and those who are thrust through in her streets.
⁵ For Israel has not been forsaken, nor Judah,
    by his God, the Lord of Hosts,
though their land was filled with sin
    against the Holy One of Israel.
