Jeremiah 50:2-11 Declare ye among the nations and publish, and set up a standard, publish, and conceal not. Say, Babylon is taken. Bel is put to shame. Merodach is dismayed. Her images are put to shame; her idols are dismayed.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Declare ye among the nations and publish, and set up a standard, publish, and conceal not. Say, Babylon is taken. Bel is put to shame. Merodach is dismayed. Her images are put to shame; her idols are dismayed. ³ For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein. They are fled.

From there she shall be taken. Their arrows shall be as of an expert mighty man; none shall return in vain. ¹⁰ And Chaldea shall be a prey. All who prey upon her shall be satisfied, says LORD. ¹¹ Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye who plunder my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses,
