¹ Yahweh spoke to me this prophecy against mighty Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans:[1]

² “Tell the nations the news; proclaim it everywhere.

³ For a nation is attacking Babylon from the north[4]

⁴ Yahweh says:

⁵ They will ask the way to Zion

⁶ “My people are like lost sheep;

⁷ Whoever came across them took advantage of them.

⁸ “My people, flee Babylon[8] and run from

⁹ For listen, I am stirring up trouble

¹⁰ I, Yahweh, declare that Chaldea will be plundered,

¹¹ “I, Yahweh, say to the people of Babylon:

¹² But your motherland is covered with shame,

¹³ Because of Yahweh’s anger,

¹⁴ Archers! Take your positions against Babylon

¹⁵ Raise the war cry against her from all sides.

¹⁶ Uproot from Babylon those

¹⁷ “Israel was like straying lambs,

¹⁸ So I, Yahweh, God of Israel, Commander of Angel Armies, say this: Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation as I punished the king of Assyria.

¹⁹ “I will bring Israel back to her own land.

²⁰ I, Yahweh, declare that at that time,

²¹ Yahweh says:

²² For the noise of battle fills the land,

²³ Babylon, you hammered the whole world to pieces,

²⁴ You defied me and fought against me, Babylon,

²⁵ I, Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies,

²⁶ Attack it from every side!

²⁷ Slaughter all her warriors;[14]

²⁸ Listen! Fugitives and refugees

²⁹ “Assemble the archers and attack Babylon!

³⁰ “I, Yahweh, say to you:

³¹ I am against you, O arrogant one!

³² Your proud, arrogant city will stumble and fall

³³ Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, says:

³⁴ But their Redeemer[15] is powerful!

³⁵ “I, Yahweh, have decreed war against the Chaldeans,

³⁶ I have decreed war against her false prophets.

³⁷ War against her horses, her chariots,

³⁸ May a drought[17] dry up all their rivers![18]

³⁹ Demons and dark spirits[19] dwell in Babylon,

⁴⁰ As Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns

⁴¹ “Look! They’re coming! Warriors approach from the north.[21]

⁴² Armed with bows and scimitars,

⁴³ The king of Babylon heard the news, and his strength melted away.

⁴⁴ “Behold, like a lion suddenly comes out of the jungle of the Jordan to a rich pastureland, I will suddenly make the people of Babylon run away, and I will appoint a leader that I choose. For who can be compared to me? Who is able to challenge me? Name the ruler[22] who can stand up to me.

⁴⁵ So now, listen to the plans that I have against you, Babylon. Listen to what I have in store for the land of the Chaldeans. Like little lambs, your children will be dragged away before your own eyes, and everyone will be horrified![23]

⁴⁶ The earth will shudder at the sound of Babylon’s downfall as their cry echoes to the nations.”
