Jeremiah
Jeremiah 50:29–32
29Summon the archers against Babylon,
all who string the bow.
Encamp all around her;
let no one escape.
Repay her according to her deeds;
do to her as she has done.
For she has defied the LORD,
the Holy One of Israel.
30Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets,
and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,”
declares the LORD.
31“Behold, I am against you, O arrogant one,”
declares the Lord GOD of Hosts,
“for your day has come,
the time when I will punish you.
32The arrogant one will stumble and fall
with no one to pick him up.
And I will kindle a fire in his cities
to consume all those around him.”
