Jeremiah 50:1

A Message Concerning Babylon

¹ The word that the Lord spoke concerning Babylon and concerning the land of the Chaldeans through Jeremiah the prophet: ²
“Declare among the nations.
Lift up a signal [to spread the news]—publish and proclaim it,
Do not conceal it; say,
‘Babylon has been taken,
Bel [the patron god] has been shamed, Marduk (Bel) has been shattered.
Babylon’s images have been shamed, her [worthless] idols have been thrown down.’
