ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Declare among the nations and proclaim,

set up a banner and proclaim,

conceal it not, and say:

‘Babylon is taken,

Bel is put to shame,

Merodach is dismayed.

Her images are put to shame,

her idols are dismayed.’

“For out of the north a nation has come up against her, which shall make her land a desolation, and none shall dwell in it; both man and beast shall flee away.

“In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, the people of Israel and the people of Judah shall come together, weeping as they come, and they shall seek the Lord their God.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Announce to the nations;

proclaim and raise up a signal flag;

proclaim, and hide nothing.

Say, “Babylon is captured;

Bel is put to shame;

Marduk is terrified.”

Her idols are put to shame;

her false gods, devastated.

For a nation from the north will attack her;

it will make her land desolate.

No one will be living in it—

both people and animals will escape.

In those days and at that time—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

the Israelites and Judeans will come together,

weeping as they come,

and will seek the Lord their God.

NLTNew Living Translation

This is what the Lord says:

“Tell the whole world,

and keep nothing back.

Raise a signal flag

to tell everyone that Babylon will fall!

Her images and idols will be shattered.

Her gods Bel and Marduk will be utterly disgraced.

For a nation will attack her from the north

and bring such destruction that no one will live there again.

Everything will be gone;

both people and animals will flee.

“In those coming days,”

says the Lord,

“the people of Israel will return home

together with the people of Judah.

They will come weeping

and seeking the Lord their God.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Declare among the nations and proclaim,

and lift up a banner.

Proclaim, you must not conceal it.

Say, ‘Babylon is captured,

Bel is ashamed,

Merodach is filled with terror,

her idols are ashamed,

her idols are filled with terror.

For a nation will come up against her from the north.

It will make her land as a horror,

and an inhabitant will not be in her.

From humans to animals they all will wander off.

They will go away.

In those days and in that time,’ ” declares Yahweh,

“the people of Israel will come,

they and the people of Judah together.

Weeping as they go, they will go,

and Yahweh their God they will seek.

KJV 1900King James Version

Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard;

Publish, and conceal not:

Say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces;

Her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.

For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her,

Which shall make her land desolate,

And none shall dwell therein:

They shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord,

The children of Israel shall come,

They and the children of Judah together,

Going and weeping: they shall go,

And seek the Lord their God.
