Jeremiah 51:27-33
Legacy Standard Bible
27 (A)Lift up a standard in the land,
Blow a trumpet among the nations!
Set apart the nations against her;
Summon against her the (B)kingdoms of (C)Ararat, Minni, and (D)Ashkenaz;
Appoint a marshal against her;
Bring up the (E)horses like bristly locusts.
28 Set apart the nations against her,
The kings of the Medes,
[a]Their governors and all [b]their [c]prefects
And every land of [d]their rule.
29 So the (F)land quakes and writhes,
For the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand,
To make the land of Babylon
[e]A (G)desolation without inhabitants.
30 The (H)mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting;
They inhabit the strongholds;
(I)Their might is dried up;
They are becoming (J)like women;
Their dwelling places are set on fire;
The (K)bars of her gates are broken.
31 One (L)runner runs to meet [f]another,
And one (M)messenger to meet [g]another,
To give a message to the king of Babylon
That his city has been captured from end to end;
32 The fords also have been seized,
And they have burned the marshes with fire,
And the men of war are terrified.
33 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel:
“The daughter of Babylon is like a (N)threshing floor
At the time [h]it is stamped firm;
Yet in a little while the time of (O)harvest will come for her.”

Jeremiah 51:27-33
American Standard Version
27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, [a]prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough canker-worm. 28 [b]Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, the governors thereof, and all the deputies thereof, and all the land of their dominion. 29 And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant. 30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might hath failed; they are become as women: her dwelling-places are set on fire; her bars are broken. 31 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter: 32 and the [c]passages are seized, and the [d]reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
33 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
