Jeremiah 50:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸Move away from the middle of Babylon,
    and go out of the land of the Chaldeans.
        Be like male goats at the head^[a] of the flock.
⁹Indeed, I’m going to stir up
    and bring against Babylon
a great company of nations
    from the land of the north.
They’ll deploy for battle against her,
    and from there she will be captured.
Their arrows will be like a skilled warrior;
    they won’t miss their targets.^[b]
¹⁰The Chaldeans will become plunder,
    and all who plunder them will get more than enough,”
        declares the Lord.
