Proclaim it and lift up a standard. Do not conceal [it but] say, 'Babylon has been captured, Bel has been put to shame, Marduk has been shattered; Her images have been put to shame, her idols have been shattered.'H5046H1471H8085H5375H5251H8085H3582H559H894H3920H1078H3001H4781H2865H6091H3001H1544H2865 3"For a nation has come up against her out of the north; it will make her land an object of horror, and there will be no inhabitant in it. Both man and beast have wandered off, they have gone away!H6828H5927H1471H7896H776H8047H3427H5110H1980H120H929 4"In those days and at that time," declares the LORD, "the sons of Israel will come, [both] they and the sons of Judah as well; they will go along weeping as they go, and it will be the LORD their God they will seek.H3117H6256H5002H3068H1121H3478H935H1121H3063H3162H1980H1058H3212H1245H3068H430 5"They will ask for the way to Zion, [turning] their faces in its direction; they will come that they may join themselves to the LORD [in] an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.H7592H1870H6726H6440H2008H935H3867H3068H5769H1285H7911 6"My people have become lost sheep; Their shepherds have led them astray. They have made them turn aside [on] the mountains; They have gone along from mountain to hill And have forgotten their resting place.H5971H6H6629H7462H8582H7725H7726H2022H1980H2022H1389H7911H7258 7"All who came upon them have devoured them; And their adversaries have said, 'We are not guilty, Inasmuch as they have sinned against the LORD [who is] the habitation of righteousness, Even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.'H4672H398H6862H559H816H2398H3068H5116H6664H3068H4723H1 8"Wander away from the midst of Babylon, And go forth from the land of the Chaldeans; Be also like male goats at the head of the flock.H5110H8432H894H3318H3318H776H3778H6260H6440H6629 9"For behold, I am going to arouse and bring up against Babylon A horde of great nations from the land of the north, And they will draw up [their] battle lines against her; From there she will be taken captive. Their arrows will be like an expert warrior Who does not return empty-handed.H5782H5927H894H6951H1419H1471H6828H776H6186H3920H2671H1368H7919H7921H7725H7387 10"And Chaldea will become plunder; All who plunder her will have enough," declares the LORD.H3778H7998H7997H7646H5002H3068 11"Because you are glad, because you are jubilant, O you who pillage My heritage, Because you skip about like a threshing heifer And neigh like stallions,H8055H5937H8154H5159H6335H5697H1877H1758H6670H47 12Your mother will be greatly ashamed, She who gave you birth will be humiliated. Behold, [she will be] the least of the nations, A wilderness, a parched land, and a desert.H517H3966H954H3205H2659H319H1471H4057H6723H6160 13"Because of the indignation of the LORD she will not be inhabited, But she will be completely desolate; Everyone who passes by Babylon will be horrified And will hiss because of all her wounds.H7110H3068H3427H8077H5674H894H8074H8319H4347 14"Draw up your battle lines against Babylon on every side, All you who bend the bow; Shoot at her, do not be sparing with [your] arrows, For she has sinned against the LORD.H6186H894H5439H1869H7198H3034H2550H2671H2398H3068 15"Raise your battle cry against her on every side!

Slay and utterly destroy them," declares the LORD, "And do according to all that I have commanded you.H5927H776H4850H3427H6489H2717H2763H310H5002H3068H6213H6680 22"The noise of battle is in the land, And great destruction.H6963H4421H776H1419H7667 23"How the hammer of the whole earth Has been cut off and broken! How Babylon has become An object of horror among the nations!H6360H776H1438H7665H894H8047H1471 24"I set a snare for you, and you were also caught, O Babylon, While you yourself were not aware; You have been found and also seized Because you have engaged in conflict with the LORD."H3369H3920H894H3045H4672H8610H1624H3068 25The LORD has opened His armory And has brought forth the weapons of His indignation, For it is a work of the Lord GOD of hosts In the land of the Chaldeans.H3068H6605H214H3318H3627H2195H4399H136H3069H6635H776H3778 26Come to her from the farthest border; Open up her barns, Pile her up like heaps And utterly destroy her, Let nothing be left to her.H935H7093H6605H3965H5549H6194H2763H7611 27Put all her young bulls to the sword; Let them go down to the slaughter! Woe be upon them, for their day has come, The time of their punishment.H2717H6499H3381H2874H1945H3117H935H6256H6486 28There is a sound of fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, Vengeance for His temple.H6963H5127H6405H776H894H5046H6726H5360H3068H430H5360H1964 29"Summon many against Babylon, All those who bend the bow: Encamp against her on every side, Let there be no escape. Repay her according to her work; According to all that she has done, [so] do to her; For she has become arrogant against the LORD, Against the Holy One of Israel.H8085H7228H894H1869H7198H2583H5439H6413H7999H6467H6213H6213H2102H3068H6918H3478 30"Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, And all her men of war will be silenced in that day," declares the LORD.H970H5307H7339H582H4421H1826H3117H5002H3068 31"Behold, I am against you, O arrogant one," Declares the Lord GOD of hosts, "For your day has come, The time when I shall punish you.H2087H5002H136H3069H6635H3117H935H6256H6485 32"And the arrogant one will stumble and fall With no one to raise him up; And I shall set fire to his cities, And it will devour all his environs."H2087H3782H5307H6965H3341H784H5892H398H5439 33Thus says the LORD of hosts, "The sons of Israel are oppressed, And the sons of Judah as well; And all who took them captive have held them fast, They have refused to let them go.H559H3068H6635H1121H3478H1121H3063H6231H3162H7617H2388H3985H7971 34"Their Redeemer is strong, the LORD of hosts is His name; He will vigorously plead their case, So that He may bring rest to the earth, But turmoil to the inhabitants of Babylon.H1350H2389H3068H6635H8034H7378H7378H7379H7280H776H7264H3427H894 35"A sword against the Chaldeans," declares the LORD, "And against the inhabitants of Babylon, And against her officials and her wise men!H2719H3778H5002H3068H3427H894H8269H2450 36"A sword against the oracle priests, and they will become fools! A sword against her mighty men, and they will be shattered!H2719H907H2973H2719H1368H2865 37"A sword against their horses and against their chariots, And against all the foreigners who are in the midst of her, And they will become women! A sword against her treasures, and they will be plundered!H2719H5483H7393H6153H8432H802H2719H214H962 38"A drought on her waters, and they will be dried up! For it is a land of idols, And they are mad over fearsome idols.H2721H4325H3001H776H6456H1984H367 39"Therefore the desert creatures will live [there] along with the jackals; The ostriches also will live in it, And it will never again be inhabited Or dwelt in from generation to generation.H6728H338H3427H1323H3284H3427H3427H5331H7931H1755H1755 40"As when God overthrew Sodom And Gomorrah with its neighbors," declares the LORD, "No man will live there, Nor will [any] son of man reside in it.H430H4114H5467H6017H7934H5002H3068H376H3427H1121H120H1481 41"Behold, a people is coming from the north, And a great nation and many kings Will be aroused from the remote parts of the earth.H5971H935H6828H1419H1471H7227H4428H5782H3411H776 42"They seize [their] bow and javelin; They are cruel and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, And they ride on horses, Marshalled like a man for the battle Against you, O daughter of Babylon.H2388H7198H3591H394H7355H6963H1993H3220H7392H5483H6186H376H4421H1323H894 43"The king of Babylon has heard the report about them, And his hands hang limp; Distress has gripped him, Agony like a woman in childbirth.H4428H894H8085H8088H3027H7503H6869H2388H2427H3205 44"Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thicket of the Jordan to a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I shall make them run away from it, and whoever is chosen I shall appoint over it. For who is like Me, and who will summon Me [into court?] And who then is the shepherd who can stand before Me?"H5927H738H1347H3383H5116H386H7323H7280H7323H7323H977H6485H3259H7462H5975H6440 45Therefore hear the plan of the LORD which He has planned against Babylon, and His purposes which He has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: surely they will drag them off, [even] the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their pasture desolate because of them.H8085H6098H3068H3289H894H4284H2803H776H3778H6810H6629H5498H5116H8074 46At the shout, "Babylon has been seized!" the earth is shaken, and an outcry is heard among the nations.H6963H8610H894H776H7493H2201H8085H1471
