I will send foreigners to Babylon
    to winnow her and empty her land.
They will oppose her on every side in the day of trouble.
Bend your bow against anyone who bends a bow
and against anyone who stands in armor.[a]
Do not spare the young men.
Completely destroy her army.
They fall down, slain in the land of Chaldea,
mortally wounded in her streets.
