1. The word that the Lord spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
2. “Declare among the nations,Proclaim, and set up a standard;Proclaim—do not conceal it—Say, ‘Babylon is taken, Bel is shamed.Merodach is broken in pieces;Her idols are humiliated,Her images are broken in pieces.’
3. For out of the north a nation comes up against her,Which shall make her land desolate,And no one shall dwell therein.They shall move, they shall depart,Both man and beast.
