Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

Let the planter of seed be cut off from Babylon, and everyone using the curved blade at the time of the grain-cutting: for fear of the cruel sword, everyone will be turned to his people, everyone will go in flight to his land.

Εκκοψατε απο Βαβυλωνος τον σπειροντα και τον κρατουντα δρεπανον εν καιρω θερισμου· απο προσωπου της εξολοθρευτικης μαχαιρας θελουσιν επιστρεψει εκαστος εις τον λαον αυτου, και θελουσι φυγει εκαστος εις την γην αυτου.

Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
