Easy-to-Read Version
Jeremiah 50:14-16
Easy-to-Read Version
14 “Prepare for war against Babylon.
All you soldiers with bows, shoot your arrows at Babylon.
Don’t save any of your arrows.
Babylon has sinned against the Lord.
15 Soldiers around Babylon, shout the cry of victory!
Babylon has surrendered!
Her walls and towers have been pulled down!
The Lord is giving her people the punishment they deserve.
You nations should give Babylon the punishment she deserves.
Do to her what she has done to other nations.
16 Don’t let the people from Babylon plant their crops.
Don’t let them gather the harvest.
The soldiers of Babylon brought many prisoners to their city.
Now the enemy soldiers have come,
so the prisoners are going back home.
They are running back to their own countries.

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)
