27 (A)Set up a banner in the land,
Blow the trumpet among the nations!
(B)Prepare the nations against her,
Call (C)the kingdoms together against her:
Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz.
Appoint a general against her;
Cause the horses to come up like the bristling locusts.
28 Prepare against her the nations,
With the kings of the Medes,
Its governors and all its rulers,
All the land of his dominion.
29 And the land will tremble and sorrow;
For every (D)purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon,
(E)To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.
