Jeremiah 50:1-2
Contemporary English Version

Babylon Will Be Captured

50 (A) The Lord told me to say:

Announce what will happen
and don't leave anything out.
2     Raise the signal flags;
shout so all nations can hear—
    Babylon will be captured!

Marduk,[a] Babylon's god,
will be ashamed and terrified,
    and his idols broken.

2 “Announce and proclaim(C) among the nations,
