Flee from the midst of Babylon,
    leave the land of the Chaldeans,
    be like rams at the head of the flock.(A)
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.

“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.
