“Wander away from the midst of Babylon
And go out of the land of the Chaldeans;
Be like the male goats [who serve as leaders] at the head of the flocks.(A)

“For behold, I will stir up and bring up against Babylon
An assembly of great nations from the north country.
They will equip themselves and set up the battle lines against her;
From there she will be taken captive.
Their arrows will be like an expert warrior
Who will not return empty-handed.
10 
“Chaldea will become plunder;
All who plunder her will be satisfied,” says the Lord.

“Flee(A) out of Babylon;(B)
    leave the land of the Babylonians,
    and be like the goats that lead the flock.
For I will stir(C) up and bring against Babylon
    an alliance of great nations(D) from the land of the north.(E)
They will take up their positions against her,
    and from the north she will be captured.(F)
Their arrows(G) will be like skilled warriors
    who do not return empty-handed.
10 So Babylonia[a] will be plundered;(H)
    all who plunder her will have their fill,”
declares the Lord.
