The Destruction of Babylon

51 Thus says the Lord:

I will raise up against Babylon,
    and against those who dwell in Leb Kamai,
    the spirit of a destroyer.
And I will send foreigners to Babylon
    that they may winnow her and empty her land.
For in the day of trouble
    they will be against her all around.
Let not him who bends his bow bend it,
    and let him not rise up in his scale-armor,
and do not spare her young men;
    utterly destroy all her host.
