Jeremiah 50:8-10

Contemporary English Version

^8 (A) Escape from Babylonia,
    my people.
Get out of that country!
    Don't wait for anyone else.
⁹ In the north I am bringing
    great nations together.
They will attack Babylon
    and capture it.
The arrows they shoot
are like the best soldiers,^[a]
    always finding their target.
¹⁰ Babylonia will be conquered,
and its enemies will carry off
    everything they want.
