Jeremiah 51:3-5
New International Reader's Version
3 Do not let its soldiers get their bows ready to use.
Do not let them put on their armor.
Do not spare their young men.
Destroy their armies completely.
4 They will fall down dead in Babylon.
They will receive deadly wounds in its streets.
5 The land of Israel and Judah is full of guilt.
Its people have sinned against me.
But I have not deserted them. I am their God.
I am the Lord who rules over all.
I am the Holy One of Israel.
