Jeremiah 50:2

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.’ ³ For out of the north a nation (Media) has come against her which will make her land desolate, and no one will live there. They have fled, they have gone away—both man and animal.
