Jeremiah 51:2-4

New Century Version

² I will send foreign people to destroy Babylon
    like a wind that blows chaff away.
    They will destroy the land.
Armies will surround the city
    when the day of disaster comes upon her.
³ Don’t let the Babylonian soldiers prepare their bows to shoot.
    Don’t even let them put on their armor.
Don’t feel sorry for the young men of Babylon,
    but completely destroy her army.
⁴ They will be killed in the land of the Babylonians
    and will die in her streets.
