Jeremiah 50:13-15
Good News Translation
13 Because of my anger no one will live in Babylon; it will be left in ruins, and all who pass by will be shocked and amazed.
14 “Archers, line up for battle against Babylon and surround it. Shoot all your arrows at Babylon, because it has sinned against me, the Lord. 15 Raise the war cry all around the city! Now Babylon has surrendered. Its walls have been broken through and torn down.[a] I am taking my revenge on the Babylonians. So take your revenge on them, and treat them as they have treated others.

Jeremiah 50:13-15
New International Version
13 Because of the Lord’s anger she will not be inhabited
but will be completely desolate.(A)
All who pass Babylon will be appalled;(B)
they will scoff(C) because of all her wounds.(D)
14 “Take up your positions around Babylon,
all you who draw the bow.(E)
Shoot at her! Spare no arrows,(F)
for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 Shout(G) against her on every side!
She surrenders, her towers fall,
her walls(H) are torn down.
Since this is the vengeance(I) of the Lord,
take vengeance on her;
do to her(J) as she has done to others.(K)
