Jeremiah 51:3

3 Don't let the archer string his bow; don't let him put on[a] his armor.[b] Don't spare her young men; completely destroy her entire army!

Jeremiah 51:3 In-Context

1 This is what the Lord says: I am about to stir up a destructive wind against Babylon and against the population of Leb-qamai.
2 I will send strangers to Babylon who will scatter her and strip her land bare, for they will come against her from every side in the day of disaster.
3 Don't let the archer string his bow; don't let him put on his armor. Don't spare her young men; completely destroy her entire army!
4 Those who were slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans, those who were pierced through, in her streets.
5 For Israel and Judah are not left widowed by their God, the Lord of Hosts, though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
