“ Yes, prepare to attack Babylon, all you surrounding nations. Let your archers shoot at her; spare no arrows. For she has sinned against the Lord.

“ Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you,” says the Lord.

The heavens will be black above them; the stars will give no light. The sun will be dark when it rises, and the moon will provide no light.“ I, the Lord, will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their sin. I will crush the arrogance of the proud and humble the pride of the mighty.I will make people scarcer than gold— more rare than the fine gold of Ophir.For I will shake the heavens. The earth will move from its place when the Lord of Heaven’s Armies displays his wrath in the day of his fierce anger.”Everyone in Babylon will run about like a hunted gazelle, like sheep without a shepherd. They will try to find their own people and flee to their own land.Anyone who is captured will be cut down— run through with a sword.Their little children will be dashed to death before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked, and their wives will be raped.“ Look, I will stir up the Medes against Babylon. They cannot be tempted by silver or bribed with gold.The attacking armies will shoot down the young men with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for children.”

“ Send out a call for archers to come to Babylon. Surround the city so none can escape. Do to her as she has done to others, for she has defied the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.Her young men will fall in the streets and die. Her soldiers will all be killed,” says the Lord.

For death has crept in through our windows and has entered our mansions. It has killed off the flower of our youth: Children no longer play in the streets, and young men no longer gather in the squares.

Destroy even her young bulls— it will be terrible for them, too! Slaughter them all! For Babylon’s day of reckoning has come.

Outside, the sword will bring death, and inside, terror will strike both young men and young women, both infants and the aged.

There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.

“ Look! A great army is coming from the north. A great nation and many kings are rising against you from far off lands.They are armed with bows and spears. They are cruel and show no mercy. As they ride forward on horses, they sound like a roaring sea. They are coming in battle formation, planning to destroy you, Babylon.

Happy is the one who takes your babies and smashes them against the rocks!
