Jeremiah 51:1-7

New King James Version

“Behold, I will raise up against ^(A)Babylon,
Against those who dwell in ^[a]Leb Kamai,
^(B)A destroying wind.
² And I will send ^(C)winnowers to Babylon,
Who shall winnow her and empty her land.
^(D)For in the day of doom
They shall be against her all around.
³ Against her ^(E)let the archer bend his bow,
And lift himself up against her in his armor.
Do not spare her young men;
^(F)Utterly destroy all her army.
⁴ Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans,
^(G)And those thrust through in her streets.
⁵ For Israel is ^(H)not forsaken, nor Judah,
By his God, the Lord of hosts,
Though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.”

^6 (I)Flee from the midst of Babylon,
And every one save his life!
Do not be cut off in her iniquity,
For ^(J)this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance;
^(K)He shall recompense her.
^7 (L)Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand,
That made all the earth drunk.
^(M)The nations drank her wine;
Therefore the nations ^(N)are deranged.
