Jeremiah 50:27-29

New Century Version

²⁷Kill all the young men in Babylon;
    let them be killed like animals.
How terrible it will be for them, because the time has come for their defeat;
    it is time for them to be punished.
²⁸Listen to the people running to escape the country of Babylon!
    They are telling Jerusalem
how the Lord our God is punishing Babylon as it deserves
    for destroying his Temple.

²⁹“Call for the archers
    to come against Babylon.
Tell them to surround the city,
    and let no one escape.
Pay her back for what she has done;
    do to her what she has done to other nations.
Babylon acted with pride against the Lord,
    the Holy One of Israel.
