Jeremiah 50:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

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.
¹⁶ Cut off from Babylon the sower,
    and the wielder of the sickle in time of harvest;
because of the destroying sword
    all of them shall return to their own people,
    and all of them shall flee to their own land.
