Jeremiah 51:1-6 (New American Standard)
View In My BibleBabylon Judged for Sins against Israel
1 Thus says the LORD : "Behold, I am going to arouse against Babylon And against the inhabitants of aLeb-kamai bThe 1spirit of a destroyer. 2 "I will dispatch cforeigners to Babylon that they may 2winnow her And may devastate her land ; For on every side they will be opposed to her In the day of her calamity. 3 "dLet not ehim who f3bends his bow gbend it, hNor let him rise up in his 4scale-armor ; So do not spare her young men ; Devote all her army to destruction. 4 "They will fall down islain in the land of the Chaldeans, And 5pierced through in their streets." 5 For 6neither Israel nor Judah has been jforsaken By his God, the LORD of hosts, Although their land is 7full of guilt kBefore the Holy One of Israel. 6 8Flee from the midst of Babylon, And each of you save his life ! Do not be l9destroyed in her mpunishment, For this is the 10LORD'S time of vengeance ; He is going to 11render recompense to her.New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
