Announce to the nations;
proclaim and raise up a signal flag;^(A)
proclaim, and hide nothing.
Say: Babylon is captured;
Bel^(B) is put to shame;
Marduk is devastated;
her idols are put to shame;
her false gods, devastated.

For a nation from the north will come against her;^(C)
it will make her land desolate.
No one will be living in it—
both man and beast will escape.^(a)

In those days and at that time—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
the Israelites and Judeans will come together,
weeping as they come,
and will seek the Lord their God.^(D)
