Babylon Judged for Sins against Israel

51 Thus says the Lord:

“Behold, I am going to stir up and put into action [a fury] against Babylon
And against the [rebellious] people of Leb-kamai (Chaldea)
A destroying wind and hostile spirit;

“And I will send foreigners to Babylon that they may winnow her
And may devastate and empty her land;
For in the day of destruction

Nor let him rise up in his coat of armor.
So do not spare her young men;
Devote her entire army to destruction.
