Jeremiah 51:27-33

Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ Raise a signal flag^(A) in the land;
blow a ram’s horn among the nations;^(B)
set apart the nations against her.^(C)
Summon kingdoms against her—
Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz.
Appoint a marshal against her;
bring up horses like a swarm^[a] of locusts.
²⁸ Set apart the nations for battle against her—
the kings of Media,
her governors and all her officials,
and all the lands they rule.
²⁹ The earth quakes^(D) and trembles
because the Lord’s intentions against Babylon stand:
to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
³⁰ Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting;
they sit in their strongholds.
Their might is exhausted;
they have become like women.^(E)
Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze,
her gate bars are shattered.^(F)
31 Messenger races to meet messenger,^(G)
and herald to meet herald,
to announce to the king of Babylon
that his city has been captured
from end to end.^(H)
32 The fords have been seized,^(I)
the marshes set on fire,
and the fighting men are terrified.
