Jeremiah 50:9

A Message Concerning Babylon

⁸ “Wander away from the midst of Babylon
And go forth from the land of the Chaldeans;
Be also like male goats at the head of the flock.
⁹ “For behold, I am going to arouse and bring up against Babylon
A horde of great nations from the land of the north,
And they will draw up their battle lines against her;
From there she will be taken captive.
Their arrows will be like an expert warrior
Who does not return empty-handed.
¹⁰ “Chaldea will become plunder;
All who plunder her will have enough,” declares the Lord.
