Do not let the archer bend his bow or put on his armor. Do not spare her young men; devote all her army to destruction!
In context
1 This is what the LORD says: “Behold, I will stir up against Babylon and against the people of Leb-kamai the spirit of a destroyer.
2 I will send strangers to Babylon to winnow her and empty her land; for they will come against her from every side in her day of disaster.
3 Do not let the archer bend his bow or put on his armor. Do not spare her young men; devote all her army to destruction!
4 And they will fall slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and pierced through in her streets.
5 For Israel and Judah have not been abandoned by their God, the LORD of Hosts, though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel.”
