Jeremiah 50:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 “(A)Declare and proclaim among the nations.
Proclaim it and (B)lift up a flag,
Do not conceal it. Say,
‘(C)Babylon has been captured,
(D)Bel has been put to shame, [a]Marduk has been [b]shattered;
Her (E)idols have been put to shame, her images have been shattered.’
3 For a nation has come up against her from the (F)north; it will make her land (G)an object of horror, and there will be (H)no inhabitant in it. Whether people or animals, they have wandered off, they have gone!
4 “In those days and at that time,” declares the Lord, “the sons of Israel will come, they and the sons of Judah (I)as well; they will go along (J)weeping as they go, and it will be (K)the Lord their God whom they will seek.

Jeremiah 50:2-4
New King James Version
2 “Declare among the nations,
Proclaim, and [a]set up a standard;
Proclaim—do not conceal it—
Say, ‘Babylon is (A)taken, (B)Bel is shamed.
[b]Merodach is broken in pieces;
(C)Her idols are humiliated,
Her images are broken in pieces.’
3 (D)For out of the north (E)a nation comes up against her,
Which shall make her land desolate,
And no one shall dwell therein.
They shall [c]move, they shall depart,
Both man and beast.
4 “In those days and in that time,” says the Lord,
“The children of Israel shall come,
(F)They and the children of Judah together;
(G)With continual weeping they shall come,
(H)And seek the Lord their God.
