Jeremiah 50:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

A Prophecy against Babylon

50 This is the message that the Lord spoke about Babylon and the land of the Babylonians through the prophet Jeremiah.

²“Announce this among the nations, and spread the news.
Raise a flag, and announce it.
Don’t hide anything.
Say, ‘Babylon will be captured.
Bel will be put to shame.
Marduk will be filled with terror.
Babylon’s statues will be put to shame.
Its idols will be filled with terror.’
³A nation from the north will attack Babylon
and destroy its land so that no one will live in it.
People and animals will run away.
