1. The Lord says, "I will stir up the spirits of destroyers. They will march out against Babylonia and its people.
2. I will send other nations against it to separate the straw from the grain. I will send them to destroy Babylonia completely. They will oppose it on every side. At that time it will be destroyed.
3. Do not let its soldiers get their bows ready to use. Do not let them put on their armor. Do not spare their young men. Destroy their armies completely.
