Jeremiah 51:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version

51 This is what the Lord says:

Watch, I will stir up a destroying wind against Babylon
and against the people who live in Leb Kamai.[a]
2 I will send foreigners to Babylon
    to winnow her and empty her land.
They will oppose her on every side in the day of trouble.
3 Bend your bow against anyone who bends a bow
and against anyone who stands in armor.[b]
Do not spare the young men.
Completely destroy her army.

Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 51:1 Leb Kamai seems to be a cryptogram for Chaldea. Taking the letters of the Hebrew word for Chaldeans and writing them in reverse alphabet (A=Z, B=Y, etc.) produces Leb Kamai, which means heart of my adversaries.
  2. Jeremiah 51:3 Or let no one bend a bow or stand up in armor. The Hebrew text and the meaning of these two lines are uncertain.
