Jeremiah 50:2-4

International Standard Version

² “Declare and proclaim among the nations.
    Lift up a banner and proclaim.
Don’t conceal anything.^[a]
    Say, ‘Babylon will be captured.
Bel^[b] will be disgraced,
    and Marduk will be destroyed.
Her idols will be disgraced,
    and her filthy images will be destroyed.’
³ For a nation from the north will go up against her.
    It will make her land into an object of horror,
        and no one will live in it.
Both people and animals will wander off,
    and they’ll leave.
⁴ In those days, and at that time,”
    declares the Lord,
“the people of Israel will come together
    with the people of Judah.
They’ll be weeping as they travel along,
    and they’ll be seeking the Lord their God.
