Jeremiah 50:2-4

Common English Bible

² Tell the nations;
    proclaim it far and wide!
Set up a flag;
    proclaim it far and wide!
Hold nothing back;
    just shout it:
“Babylon is captured;
    Bel is shamed;
Marduk is panic-stricken.
    Her images are shamed;
        her idols are panic-stricken.”
³ A nation from the north
    has risen up against her.
It will decimate her land,
    and no one will live in it.
        Every living thing will flee.
⁴ In those days and at that time,
        declares the Lord,
    the people of Israel and Judah
        will come out of Babylon^[a] together;
    with weeping they will leave
        as they seek the Lord their God.
