Jeremiah 50:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Flee from the midst of Babylon,
leave the land of the Chaldeans,
be like rams at the head of the flock.(A)
9 See, I am stirring up against Babylon
a band of great nations from the land of the north;
They are arrayed against her,
from there she shall be taken.
Their arrows are like the arrows of a skilled warrior
who never returns empty-handed.(B)
10 Chaldea shall become plunder;
all its plunderers shall be enriched—
oracle of the Lord.
