1 The Lord says, "I will stir up the spirits of destroyers. They will march out against Babylonia and its people.
2 I will send other nations against it to separate the straw from the grain. I will send them to destroy Babylonia completely. They will oppose it on every side. At that time it will be destroyed.
3 Do not let its soldiers get their bows ready to use. Do not let them put on their armor. Do not spare their young men. Destroy their armies completely.
4 They will fall down dead in Babylon. They will receive deadly wounds in its streets.
