Jeremiah 50:1-3

1The word which the Lord spoke concerning 1Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, through Jeremiah the prophet:2“2Declare and proclaim among the nations. Proclaim it and 3lift up a standard. Do not conceal it but say, ‘4Babylon has been captured, 5Bel has been put to shame, 6Marduk has been 7shattered; Her 8images have been put to shame, her idols have been shattered.’ 3For a nation has come up against her out of the 9north; it will make her land 10an object of horror, and there will be 11no inhabitant in it. Both man and beast have wandered off, they have gone away!
