Jeremiah 50:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴     (to Babylon’s enemies) Prepare for battle! Take your positions!
        Surround Babylon on every side, all you archers.
    Shoot at her! Show no mercy! Spare no arrows,
        for she has sinned against the Eternal.
¹⁵     Shout your battle cries on every side!
        She has already given up.
    Her towers have fallen, and her walls have crumbled.
        Since this is My vengeance, the justice of the Eternal,
    Do not hold back—take vengeance on her.
        Do to her what she has done to others.
¹⁶     Uproot from Babylon those who plant crops
        and those who harvest with the sickle.
    When they see the flash from the enemy’s sword,
        everyone will run away; everyone will go back to his own land.
