Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD proclaims: I'm stirring up a violent wind against Babylon and those who live in Leb-qamai.

2 I will send mercenaries to Babylon who will sift her and clear out her land. They will surround her on the day of disaster.

3 Let the archers draw their bows; let them prepare their armor. Show no mercy to her young men; wipe out her entire company!

4 They will fall wounded in the land of Babylon, struck down in her streets.

5 God, the LORD of heavenly forces, hasn't abandoned Israel and Judah, even though they live in a land filled with guilt before the holy one of Israel.

6 Escape from Babylon; each of you run for your lives! Don't perish because of her guilt, because this is the time for the LORD's retribution, a day of reckoning for all that Babylon has done.
