51 The Lord says,

“I will stir up the spirits of destroyers.
    They will march out against Babylon and its people.
I will send other nations against it
    to separate the straw from the grain.
    I will send them to destroy Babylon completely.
They will oppose it on every side.
    At that time it will be destroyed.
