I will send people to winnow[a] Babylon,
    to winnow it and strip its land bare.
    They will attack it from every direction on the day of trouble.
Have the archers bend their bows.
    Have them put on their armor.
        Don’t spare Babylon’s young men.
            Completely destroy its whole army.
Babylon’s soldiers will fall down badly wounded in their streets.
    They will lie dead in their own land.
