Jeremiah 51:49

A Message Concerning Babylon

⁴⁸
“Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
Will shout and sing for joy over Babylon,
For the destroyers will come against her from the north,”
Says the Lord. ⁴⁹ 
Indeed Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel,
As also for Babylon the slain of all the earth have fallen.
⁵⁰
You who have escaped the sword,
Go away! Do not stay!
Remember the Lord from far away,
And let [desolate] Jerusalem come into your mind.

Jeremiah 50:29

“Call together many [archers] against Babylon,
All those who bend the bow.
Encamp against her on every side;
Let no one from there escape.
Repay her according to her actions;
Just as she has done, do to her.
For she has been proudly defiant and presumptuous against the Lord,
Against the Holy One of Israel.

And neigh like stallions,
