1 Thus says Adonai: “Look! Stirring up against Babylon and those living in Leb-kamai, a spirit of destruction.
2 I will send strangers to Babylon to scatter her and empty her land. For in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.
3 Let the archer bend his bow at her. Let him rise up at her in his armor. Do not spare her young men. Destroy her whole army.
4 They will fall down slain in the land of Chaldea, thrust through in her streets.
