Jeremiah 51:2-4

International Standard Version

² I’ll send foreigners to Babylon,
    and they’ll winnow her,
        and devastate^[a] her land.
They’ll come against her from every side
    on the day of her^[b] disaster.
³ Don’t let the archer^[c] bend the bow;
    don’t let him rise up in his armor.
Don’t spare her young men.
    Completely destroy her entire army.
⁴ The slain will fall in the land of Chaldea,
    pierced through in her streets.
