Jeremiah 50:13-15
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord she shall not be inhabited,
but shall be an utter desolation;
everyone who passes by Babylon shall be appalled
and hiss because of all her wounds.
14 Take up your positions around Babylon,
all you that bend the bow;
shoot at her, spare no arrows,
for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 Raise a shout against her from all sides,
‘She has surrendered;
her bulwarks have fallen,
her walls are thrown down.’
For this is the vengeance of the Lord:
take vengeance on her,
do to her as she has done.
