‘Tell this news to the nations!
Wave a flag to make sure that people listen!
Do not try to hide anything. Say this:
“Enemies will take Babylon.
Bel will become ashamed.

All Babylon's disgusting idols will be ashamed.” 
A nation from the north will attack Babylon.
They will destroy the whole land.

They will weep because of their sins.
They will want to worship the Lord their God.
