Jeremiah 51:1-5
New American Standard Bible
Babylon Judged for Sins against Israel
51 This is what the Lord says:
“Behold, I am going to stir up
[a]The (A)spirit of a destroyer against Babylon
And against the inhabitants of [b]Leb-kamai.
2 I will send [c]foreigners to Babylon so that they may (B)winnow her
And devastate her land;
For they will be opposed to her on every side
On the day of her disaster.
3 Let not [d]him who [e](C)bends his bow [f]bend it,
Nor let him rise up in his (D)coat of armor.
Do not spare her young men;
Devote all her army to destruction.
4 They will fall down [g]dead in the land of the Chaldeans,
And (E)pierced through in their streets.”
5 For (F)neither Israel nor Judah has been [h]forsaken
By his God, the Lord of armies,
Although their land is (G)full of guilt
[i]Before the Holy One of Israel.

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.
