51 The Lord proclaims:

I’m stirring up a violent wind against Babylon
    and those who live in Leb-qamai.[a]
I will send mercenaries[b] to Babylon
    who will sift her and clear out her land.
They will surround her
    on the day of disaster.
Let the archers draw their bows;
    let them prepare their armor.
Show no mercy to her young men;
    wipe out her entire company!
