Yirmeyahu 51:1-10 ירמיהו נ״א:א׳-י׳

Thus says the Lord; Behold, I will raise up against Bavel, and against them that dwell in Lev-qamay, a destroying wind;

and will send to Bavel winnowers, and they shall winnow her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

Against him that bends let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifts himself up in his coat of mail: and spare not her young men; destroy utterly all her host.

Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Kasdim, and they that are thrust through in her streets.

For Yisra᾽el has not been widowed, nor Yehuda of his God, of the Lord of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Yisra᾽el.

Flee out of the midst of Bavel, and let every man save his life: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.

Bavel was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

Bavel is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, perhaps she may be healed.

We would have healed Bavel, but she was not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one to his own country: for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up to the skies.

The Lord has brought forth our vindication: come, and let us declare in Żiyyon the work of the Lord our God.
