Jeremiah 50:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 [a]Put yourselves in array against Babel round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath [b]sinned against the Lord.
15 Cry against her round about: she hath [c]given her hand: her foundations are fallen, and her walls are destroyed: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her: as she hath done, do unto her.
16 Destroy the [d]sower from Babel, and him that handleth the scythe in the time of harvest: because of the sword of the oppressor they shall turn everyone to his people, and they shall flee everyone to his own land.
