Jeremiah 51:27 - 51:33

Lift up a standard in the land,

Blow a trumpet among the nations!

Set apart the nations against her;

Summon against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz;

Appoint a marshal against her;

Bring up the horses like bristly locusts.

Set apart the nations against her,

The kings of the Medes,

Their governors and all their prefects

And every land of their rule.

So the land quakes and writhes,

For the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand,

To make the land of Babylon

A desolation without inhabitants.

The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting;

They inhabit the strongholds;

Their might is dried up;

They are becoming like women;

Their dwelling places are set on fire;

The bars of her gates are broken.

One runner runs to meet another,

And one messenger to meet another,

To give a message to the king of Babylon

That his city has been captured from end to end;

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 threshing floor

At the time it is stamped firm;

Yet in a little while the time of harvest will come for her.”
