The Utter Destruction of Babylon
“Behold, I will raise up against aBabylon,
Against those who dwell in1 Leb Kamai,
bA destroying wind.
Who shall winnow her and empty her land.
bFor in the day of doom
They shall be against her all around.
And lift himself up against her in his armor.
Do not spare her young men;
bUtterly destroy all her army.

Jeremiah 51:2
And will send - fanners - When the corn is trodden out with the feet of cattle, or crushed out with a heavy wheel armed with iron, with a shovel they throw it up against the wind, that the chaff and broken straw may be separated from it. This is the image used by the prophet; these people shall be trodden, crushed, and fanned by their enemies.
