A message about Babylon

50 Yahweh gave to me, Jeremiah the prophet, a message about Babylon city and the country of Babylonia.

2 This is what Yahweh says:

“Proclaim [DOU] a message among the nations;

do not withhold any of it;

raise up a signal flag

to announce that Babylon will be captured.

Its chief god Marduk, whose other name is Bel, will be completely disgraced,

and all the other statues and idols will be shattered.

3 The army of a nation will come from the north to attack Babylon

and destroy the city very thoroughly,

with the result that no one will live there again.

Both people and animals will run away.”
