35“A sword is coming against the Babylonians!”

announces the Lord.

“It is coming against those who live in Babylonia.

It is coming against their officials and wise men.

36A sword is coming against their prophets.

But they are not really prophets at all!

So they will look foolish.

A sword is coming against their soldiers!

They will be filled with terror.

37A sword is coming against their horses and chariots!

It is coming against all of the hired soldiers in their armies.

They will become like weak women.

A sword is coming against their treasures!

They will be stolen.
