Jeremiah 51:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 To Babylon I will send winnowers
to winnow and lay waste the land;
They shall besiege it on every side
on the day of affliction.(A)
3 How can the archers draw back their bows,
lift their armor?
Do not spare her young men,
put the entire army under the ban.(B)
4 The slain shall fall in the land of Chaldea,
the wounded, in its streets;(C)
