And will send unto Bavel winnowers, that shall blow her chaff away, and shall empty her land; for in the Yom Ra’ah (Day of Disaster) they shall be against her on every side.

Against her let the archer bend his keshet, and against her let him rise up in his armor; and spare ye not her bochurim; destroy ye utterly all her army.

Thus the slain shall fall in the Eretz Kasdim, and they that are thrust through in her streets.

    to winnow(B) her and to devastate her land;
they will oppose her on every side

Let not the archer string his bow,(D)
    nor let him put on his armor.(E)
Do not spare her young men;
    completely destroy[a] her army.
They will fall(F) down slain in Babylon,[b]
    fatally wounded in her streets.(G)
