Jeremiah 51:3-5
New International Version - UK
3 Let not the archer string his bow,
nor let him put on his armour.
Do not spare her young men;
completely destroy[a] her army.
4 They will fall down slain in Babylon,[b]
fatally wounded in her streets.
5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken
by their God, the Lord Almighty,
though their land[c] is full of guilt
before the Holy One of Israel.
