51 This is what the Lord says:

I will stir up a destructive wind against Babylon
and against the people who live in Leb Kamai.
I will send people to winnow [a] Babylon,
to winnow it and strip its land bare.
They will attack it from every direction on the day of trouble.
Have the archers bend their bows.
Have them put on their armor.
Don’t spare Babylon’s young men.
Completely destroy its whole army.
