Jeremiah 51:3 in context

  1. 1Yahweh says:
    “Behold, I will raise up against Babylon,
    and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
  2. 2I will send to Babylon strangers, who will winnow her.
    They will empty her land;
    for in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.
  3. 3Against him who bends, let the archer bend his bow,
    also against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail.
    Don’t spare her young men!
    Utterly destroy all her army!
  4. 4They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,
    and thrust through in her streets.
  5. 5For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God,
    by Yahweh of Armies;
    though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
