1 This is what the Lord says:

“See, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer

against Babylon and the people of Leb Kamai.

2 I will send foreigners to Babylon

to winnow her and to devastate her land;

they will oppose her on every side

in the day of her disaster.

1 Thus says the Lord:

“Behold, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer

against Babylon,

against the inhabitants of Leb-kamai,

2 and I will send to Babylon winnowers,

and they shall winnow her,

and they shall empty her land,

when they come against her from every side

on the day of trouble.

1 Thus saith the Lord;

Behold, I will raise up against Babylon,

And against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me,

A destroying wind;

2 And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her,

And shall empty her land:

For in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

1 This is what the Lord says:

“I will stir up a destroyer against Babylon

and the people of Babylonia.

2 Foreigners will come and winnow her,

blowing her away as chaff.

They will come from every side

to rise against her in her day of trouble.

1 Thus says the Lord:

“Behold, I will raise up against Babylon,

Against those who dwell in Leb Kamai,

A destroying wind.

2 And I will send winnowers to Babylon,

Who shall winnow her and empty her land.

For in the day of doom

They shall be against her all around.

1 This is what the Lord says:

“I will soon cause a destroying wind to blow

against Babylon and the Babylonian people.

2 I will send foreign people to destroy Babylon

like a wind that blows chaff away.

They will destroy the land.

Armies will surround the city

when the day of disaster comes upon her.

1 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in Leb-kamai, a destroying wind. 2 And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

1 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the heart of those that rise against me, a destroying wind; 2 and I will send unto Babylon strangers, who shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

1 This is what the Lord says: 

I will stir up a destructive wind against Babylon 

and against the people who live in Leb Kamai. 

2 I will send people to winnowBabylon, 

to winnow it and strip its land bare. 

They will attack it from every direction on the day of trouble. 

1 This is what the Lord says:

I am about to stir up a destructive wind against Babylon

and against the population of Leb-qamai.

2 I will send strangers to Babylon

who will scatter her and strip her land bare,

for they will come against her

from every side in the day of disaster.

1 Thus says the Lord:

I am going to stir up a destructive wind

against Babylon

and against the inhabitants of Leb-qamai;

2 and I will send winnowers to Babylon,

and they shall winnow her.

They shall empty her land

when they come against her from every side

on the day of trouble.

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.

1 Thus says the Lord:

“Behold, I am going to arouse against Babylon

And against the inhabitants of Leb-kamai

The spirit of a destroyer.

2 “I will dispatch foreigners to Babylon that they may winnow her

And may devastate her land;

For on every side they will be opposed to her

In the day of her calamity.
