Jeremiah 51:3-5

3 ^aLet not the archer bend his bow,
and let him not stand up in his armor.
Spare not her young men;
^bdevote to destruction ^{▼▼That is, set apart ( devote) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction)} all her army.
4 They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,
^dand wounded in her streets.
5 ^eFor Israel and Judah have not been forsaken
by their God, the Lord of hosts,
but the land of the Chaldeans ^{▼▼Hebrew their land} is full of guilt
against the Holy One of Israel.
