“Declare among the nations and proclaim,
    and lift up a banner.
Proclaim, you must not conceal it.
Say, ‘Babylon is captured,
    Bel is ashamed,
    Merodach is filled with terror,
her idols are ashamed,
    her idols are filled with terror.
For a nation will come up against her from the north.
It will make her land as a horror,
    and an inhabitant will not be in her.
From humans[a] to animals[b] they all will wander off.
    They will go away.
In those days and in that time,’” declares[c] Yahweh,
    “the people[d] of Israel will come,
    they and the people[e] of Judah together.
Weeping as they go,[f] they will go,
    and Yahweh their God they will seek.
