2“Announce and declare to the nations;
lift up a banner and proclaim it;
hold nothing back when you say,
‘Babylon is captured;
Bel is put to shame;
Marduk is shattered,
her images are disgraced,
her idols are broken in pieces.’
3For a nation from the north will come against her;
it will make her land a desolation.
No one will live in it;
both man and beast will flee.”
— Jeremiah 50:2-3
