51 Thus says the Lord:

I am going to stir up a destructive wind[a]
    against Babylon
    and against the inhabitants of Leb-qamai;[b]
and I will send winnowers to Babylon,
    and they shall winnow her.
They shall empty her land
    when they come against her from every side
    on the day of trouble.
Let not the archer bend his bow,
    and let him not array himself in his coat of mail.
Do not spare her young men;
    utterly destroy her entire army.
