51:2 I will send people to winnow Babylonia like a wind blowing away chaff. 1
They will winnow her and strip her land bare. 2
This will happen when 3 they come against her from every direction,
when it is time to destroy her. 4
51:3 Do not give her archers time to string their bows
or to put on their coats of armor. 5
Do not spare any of her young men.
Completely destroy 6 her whole army.
51:4 Let them fall 7 slain in the land of Babylonia, 8
mortally wounded in the streets of her cities. 9
