Jeremiah 50:14

Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about All ye who tread the bow, Shoot at her, do not spare so much as an arrow,—For against Yahweh, hath she sinned.

In The King James Version

Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.

In Context

15Raise a shout against her round about She hath stretched forth her hand, Fallen are her buttresses, Torn down are her walls,—Because, the avenging of Yahweh it is, Take ye vengeance upon her, As she hath done, do ye, unto her.
