Jeremiah 50:35

A Message Concerning Babylon

³⁴ Their defender is strong. His name is Jehovah of Hosts. He will certainly take up their cause in order to bring rest to the land of Israel and unrest to the people who live in Babylon. ³⁵ “A sword against the Chaldeans,” declares the Lord,
“And against the inhabitants of Babylon
And against her officials and her wise men!
³⁶ A sword will kill the false prophets. They will become fools. A sword will kill their soldiers and defeat them.
