Jeremiah 51:27-29

International Children’s Bible

²⁷ “Lift up the banner in the land!
    Blow the trumpet among the nations!
Get the nations ready for battle against Babylon.
    Call these kingdoms to come fight against Babylon:
    Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz.
Choose a commander to lead the army against Babylon.
    Send so many horses that they are like a swarm of locusts.
²⁸ Get the nations ready for battle against Babylon.
    Get the kings of the Medes ready.
Get their governors and all their officers ready.
    Get all the countries they rule ready for battle against Babylon.
²⁹ The land shakes and moves like it is in pain.
    It will shake when the Lord does what he planned to Babylon.
His plan is to make Babylon into an empty desert.
    No one will live there.
