50:1 Yahweh’s judgement for Babylon
50 
Yahweh gave the prophet Yirmeyah (Jeremiah) this message concerning Babylon, the country of the Chaldeans:[ref]
2 Make a report to the nations and get them to listen to it.
Raise a signal flag and cause them to listen—don’t conceal it.
Tell them that Babylon will be captured and their ‘god’ Marduk (also called ‘Bel’) will be humiliated.
Marduk will be completely disgraced—
its replicas will be humiliated as its idols will be shattered.
3 A nation from the north will come against it, and make their land into ruins.
No one will live in it—people and animals will all flee away.
