Declare

“Therefore hear, O nations,
And know, O congregation, what is among them.

Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
And declare in the coastlands afar off,
And say, “He who scattered Israel will gather him
And keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.”

“Declare in Egypt and proclaim in Migdol,
Proclaim also in Memphis and Tahpanhes;
Say, ‘Take your stand and get yourself ready,
For the sword has devoured those around you.’

Then all men will fear,
And they will declare the work of God,
And will consider what He has done.

Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.

And in that day you will say,
“Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name.

Make known His deeds among the peoples;

Make them remember that His name is exalted.”

“You have heard; look at all this.
And you, will you not declare it?
I proclaim to you new things from this time,
Even hidden things which you have not known.

“For I know their works and their thoughts; the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory.

And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people;

Set up

Lift up a standard on the

bare hill,

Raise your voice to them,

Wave the hand that they may enter the doors of the nobles.

Babylon

Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;

Wail over her!

Bring balm for her pain;

Perhaps she may be healed.

“Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs.”
And one said, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
And all the images of her gods are shattered on the ground.”

And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, “

Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality.”

And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “

Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.

Bel

“I will punish Bel in Babylon,
And I will make what he has swallowed come out of his mouth;
And the nations will no longer stream to him.
Even the wall of Babylon has fallen down!

Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over;

Their images are consigned to the beasts and the cattle.
The things that you carry are burdensome,
A load for the weary beast.

Merodach

Now it came about in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign,

showed favor to Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison.

At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered.

General references

“Behold, a people is coming from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Will be aroused from the remote parts of the earth.
