Jeremiah 50:29

Publish against Babylon ye chiefs of all who tread the bow—Encamp against her round about Let there be none to escape, Recompense to her according to her work, According to all which she did, do ye to her,—For Against Yahweh, hath she acted presumptuously, Against the Holy One of Israel.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.

In Context

28The voice Of them who are in flight and Of such as are escaping, out of the land of Babylon,—To tell in Zion The avenging of Yahweh our God, The avenging of his temple.

30Therefore, shall her young men fall in her broadways,—And, all her men of war, be silenced in that day, Declareth Yahweh.
