27 “Set up a standard in the land!
    Blow the trumpet among the nations!
Prepare the nations against her!
    Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz!
Appoint a marshal against her!
    Cause the horses to come up as the rough canker worm!
28 Prepare against her the nations,
    the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
29 The land trembles and is in pain;
    for the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand,
    to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
