PROPHECIES AGAINST BABYLON

50 This is the word the Lord spoke about Babylon,d the land of the Chaldeans, through the prophet Jeremiah:

2 Announce to the nations;

proclaim and raise up a signal flag;e

proclaim, and hide nothing.

Say, “Babylon is captured;

Belf is put to shame;

Marduk is terrified.”

Her idols are put to shame;

her false gods, devastated.

3 For a nation from the north will attack her;g

it will make her land desolate.

No one will be living in it—

both people and animals will escape.B,h
