God Promises Babylon's Destruction

Jeremiah 51:1-5

This is what the LORD says: “Behold, I will stir up against Babylon and against the people of Leb-kamai the spirit of a destroyer.

I will send strangers to Babylon to winnow her and empty her land; for they will come against her from every side in her day of disaster.

Do not let the archer bend his bow or put on his armor. Do not spare her young men; devote all her army to destruction!

And they will fall slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and pierced through in her streets.

For Israel and Judah have not been abandoned by their God, the LORD of Hosts, though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel.”
