“Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around,all you who bend the bow;shoot at her.Spare no arrows,for she has sinned against Yahweh.”
Jeremiah 50:14 (WEB)
Context Reading
12your mother will be utterly disappointed.She who bore you will be confounded.Behold, she will be the least of the nations,a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. 13Because of Yahweh’s wrath she won’t be inhabited,but she will be wholly desolate.Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished,and hiss at all her plagues. 14Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around,all you who bend the bow;shoot at her.Spare no arrows,for she has sinned against Yahweh. 15Shout against her all around.She has submitted herself.Her bulwarks have fallen.Her walls have been thrown down,for it is the vengeance of Yahweh.Take vengeance on her.As she has done, do to her. 16Cut off the sower from Babylon,and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest.For fear of the oppressing sword,they will each return to their own people,and they will each flee to their own land.
