Jeremiah 50:29

29 Summon archers against Babylon,

all those who bend the bow.

Encamp all around her,

there must not be for her an escape.

Take revenge on her according to her deeds.

According to all that she has done, so do to her.

For against Yahweh she has behaved insolently,

against the Holy One of Israel.
