Go ye away from the midst of Babylon, and go ye out of the land of Chaldees, and be ye as kids before the flock. (Go ye away from the midst of Babylon, and go ye out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be ye like the goat-kids leading the flock.)

For lo! I shall raise (up), and bring into Babylon the gathering together of great folks, from the land of the north; and they shall be made ready against it, and it shall be taken in the day; the arrow(s) thereof (shall be) as of a strong man, a slayer, (and they) shall not turn again [void].

10 And Chaldea shall be into prey, all that destroy it (all who destroy it), shall be [ful]filled, saith the Lord.

“Flee(A) out of Babylon;(B)
    leave the land of the Babylonians,
    and be like the goats that lead the flock.
For I will stir(C) up and bring against Babylon
    an alliance of great nations(D) from the land of the north.(E)
They will take up their positions against her,
    and from the north she will be captured.(F)
Their arrows(G) will be like skilled warriors
    who do not return empty-handed.
10 So Babylonia[a] will be plundered;(H)
    all who plunder her will have their fill,”
declares the Lord.
