Judgment on Babylon and Babylonia
Proclaim, and1 set up a standard;
Proclaim—do not conceal it—
Say, ‘Babylon is ataken, bBel is shamed.
Merodach is broken in pieces;
cHer idols are humiliated,
Her images are broken in pieces.’
Which shall make her land desolate,
And no one shall dwell therein.
They shall1 move, they shall depart,
Both man and beast.
“The children of Israel shall come,
aThey and the children of Judah together;
bWith continual weeping they shall come,
cAnd seek the Lord their God.
With their faces toward it, saying,
‘Come and let us join ourselves to the Lord
In aa perpetual covenant
That will not be forgotten.’
Their shepherds have led them bastray;
They have turned them away on cthe mountains.
They have gone from mountain to hill;
They have forgotten their resting place.
And btheir adversaries said, c‘We have not offended,
Because they have sinned against the Lord, dthe habitation of justice,
The Lord, ethe hope of their fathers.’
Go out of the land of the Chaldeans;
And be like the1 rams before the flocks.
An assembly of great nations from the north country,
And they shall array themselves against her;
From there she shall be captured.
Their arrows shall be like those of1 an expert warrior;
bNone shall return in vain.
