Doom of Babylon

“Flee from within Babylon,[a]
get out of the land of the Chaldeans,
and be like he-goats before the flock.
For I will soon stir up and bring against Babylon
an alliance of great nations from the north.
They will form battle lines against her,
from there she will be captured.
Their arrows will be like a warrior who bereaves,
not returning empty.
10 Chaldea will be a spoil—
all who plunder her will be satisfied.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
