Jeremiah 50:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 Draw up a battle formation at Babylon all around,
all those who bend the bow, shoot at her.
You must not spare arrows,[a]
for she has sinned against Yahweh.
15 Raise a war cry against her on all sides.
She has surrendered.[b]
Her towers have fallen,
her walls are ruined.
For this is the vengeance of Yahweh.
Take revenge on her.
As she has done to others,
so do to her.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon,
and the one who uses the sickle in the time of harvest.
Because of[c] the sword of the oppressor
each one will turn to their people,
and each one will flee to their land.

And everyone shall flee to his own land.
