• Jeremiah 50:1-3
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 50 The word that Jehovah spoke concerning Babylon,+ concerning the land of the Chal·deʹans, through Jeremiah the prophet:

       2 “Declare it among the nations and proclaim it.

      Raise a signal* and proclaim it.

      Do not hide anything!

      Say, ‘Babylon has been captured.+

      Bel has been put to shame.+

      Merʹo·dach has become terrified.

      Her images have been put to shame.

      Her disgusting idols* have become terrified.’

       3 For a nation has come against her from the north.+

      It makes her land an object of horror;

      No one is dwelling in her.

      Both man and beast have taken flight;

      They have gone away.”
