Jeremiah 50:14-16
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 50:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 Babylon has rebelled against me.
Archers, take your places.
Shoot all your arrows at Babylon.
15 Attack from every side!
Babylon surrenders!
The enemy tears down
its walls and towers.
I am taking my revenge
by doing to Babylon what it did
to other cities.
16 There is no one in Babylonia
to plant or harvest crops.
Even foreigners who lived there
have left for their homelands,
afraid of the enemy armies.
Jeremiah 50:14-16
New International Version
Jeremiah 50:14-16
New International Version
14 “Take up your positions around Babylon,
all you who draw the bow.(A)
Shoot at her! Spare no arrows,(B)
for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 Shout(C) against her on every side!
She surrenders, her towers fall,
her walls(D) are torn down.
Since this is the vengeance(E) of the Lord,
take vengeance on her;
do to her(F) as she has done to others.(G)
16 Cut off from Babylon the sower,
and the reaper with his sickle at harvest.
Because of the sword(H) of the oppressor
let everyone return to their own people,(I)
let everyone flee to their own land.(J)
