Jeremiah 51:27-33

New King James Version

^27 (A)Set up a banner in the land,
Blow the trumpet among the nations!
^(B)Prepare the nations against her,
Call ^(C)the kingdoms together against her:
Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz.
Appoint a general against her;
Cause the horses to come up like the bristling locusts.
²⁸ Prepare against her the nations,
With the kings of the Medes,
Its governors and all its rulers,
All the land of his dominion.
²⁹ And the land will tremble and sorrow;
For every ^(D)purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon,
^(E)To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.
³⁰ The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting,
They have remained in their strongholds;
Their might has failed,
^(F)They became like women;
They have burned her dwelling places,
^(G)The bars of her gate are broken.
^31 (H)One runner will run to meet another,
And one messenger to meet another,
To show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on all sides;
^32 (I)The passages are blocked,
The reeds they have burned with fire,
And the men of war are terrified.

“The daughter of Babylon is ^(J)like a threshing floor
When ^(K)it is time to thresh her;
Yet a little while
^(L)And the time of her harvest will come.”
