Jeremiah 50:29-31

International Children’s Bible

²⁹ “Call for the men who shoot arrows
    to come against Babylon.
Tell them to surround the city.
    Don’t let anyone escape.
Pay her back for the bad things she has done.
    Do to her what she has done to other nations.
Babylon acted with pride against the Lord,
    the Holy One of Israel.
³⁰ So Babylon’s young men will be killed in the streets.
    All her soldiers will die on that day,” says the Lord.
³¹ “Babylon, you are too proud. And I am against you,”
    says the Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies.
“This is because the time has come
    for you to be punished.
