Against Babylon

50 The word that Adonai spoke about Babylon, about the land of the Chaldeans, through Jeremiah the prophet:
“Declare it among the nations and proclaim!
Raise a banner, announce, hide nothing!
Say: ‘Babylon will be captured,
Bel put to shame,
Merodach dismayed,

her idols shattered!’

No one will dwell there—
they have fled, gone, both man and beast.”
