Jeremiah 51:2-4

New Living Translation

² Foreigners will come and winnow her,
    blowing her away as chaff.
They will come from every side
    to rise against her in her day of trouble.
³ Don’t let the archers put on their armor
    or draw their bows.
Don’t spare even her best soldiers!
    Let her army be completely destroyed.^[a]
4 They will fall dead in the land of the Babylonians,^[b]
    slashed to death in her streets.
