They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens— the Lord and the weapons of his wrath— to destroy the whole country.

They come from lands far away. They come from the farthest places on earth. The Lord and those weapons of his anger are coming to destroy the whole country of Babylon.

They come from a distant land, from the end of the heavens, the Lord and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

They come from distant countries, from beyond the farthest horizons. They are the Lord’s weapons to carry out his anger. With them he will destroy the whole land.

They are coming from a distant land, from the farthest horizon— the LORD and the weapons of his wrath— to destroy the whole country.

They are coming from a distant country, From the farthest horizons, The Lord and the weapons of His indignation, To destroy the whole land.

They come from a far country, From the end of heaven— The Lord and His weapons of indignation, To destroy the whole land.

They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

They come from a far country, from the end of heaven,[ even] the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

They come from a distant land, from the horizon. It is the LORD with his instruments of judgment, coming to destroy the whole earth.

They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Yahweh, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! The Lord has put it into the mind of the kings of the Medes because His plan is aimed at Babylon to destroy her, for it is the Lord’s vengeance, vengeance for His temple.

For a nation from the north will come against her; it will make her land desolate. No one will be living in it— both man and beast will escape.

He raises a signal flag for the distant nations and whistles for them from the ends of the earth. Look— how quickly and swiftly they come!

For I will soon stir up and bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country. They will line up in battle formation against her; from there she will be captured. Their arrows will be like those of a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.

Look, the Lord is stripping the earth bare and making it desolate. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants:

You are My battle club, My weapons of war. With you I will smash nations; with you I will bring kingdoms to ruin.With you I will smash the horse and its rider; with you I will smash the chariot and its rider.With you I will smash man and woman; with you I will smash the old man and the youth; with you I will smash the young man and the young woman.With you I will smash the shepherd and his flock; with you I will smash the farmer and his ox-team. With you I will smash governors and officials.“ I will repay Babylon and all the residents of Chaldea for all their evil they have done in Zion before your very eyes.” This is the Lord’s declaration.Look, I am against you, devastating mountain— this is the Lord’s declaration— you devastate the whole earth. I will stretch out My hand against you, roll you down from the cliffs, and turn you into a charred mountain.No one will be able to retrieve a cornerstone or a foundation stone from you, because you will become desolate forever. This is the Lord’s declaration.Raise a signal flag in the land; blow a ram’s horn among the nations; set apart the nations against her. Summon kingdoms against her— Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a marshal against her; bring up horses like a swarm of locusts.Set apart the nations for battle against her— the kings of Media, her governors and all her officials, and all the lands they rule.The earth quakes and trembles because the Lord’s intentions against Babylon stand: to make the land of Babylon an uninhabited desolation.Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting; they sit in their strongholds. Their might is exhausted; they have become like women. Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze, her gate bars are shattered.Messenger races to meet messenger, and herald to meet herald, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city has been captured from end to end.The fords have been seized, the marshes set on fire, and the soldiers are terrified.For this is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Daughter Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trampled. In just a little while her harvest time will come.“ Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has devoured me; he has crushed me. He has set me aside like an empty dish; he has swallowed me like a sea monster; he filled his belly with my delicacies; he has vomited me out,”says the inhabitant of Zion;“ Let the violence done to me and my family be done to Babylon. Let my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem.Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am about to plead your case and take vengeance on your behalf; I will dry up her sea and make her fountain run dry.Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a jackals’ den, a desolation and an object of scorn, without inhabitant.They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs.While they are flushed with heat, I will serve them a feast, and I will make them drunk so that they revel. Then they will fall asleep forever and never wake up. This is the Lord’s declaration.I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams together with male goats.How Sheshach has been captured, the praise of the whole earth seized. What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!The sea has risen over Babylon; she is covered with its turbulent waves.Her cities have become a desolation, a dry and arid land, a land where no one lives, where no human being passes through.I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will make him vomit what he swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him; even Babylon’s wall will fall.Come out from among her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the Lord’s burning anger.May you not become cowardly and fearful when the report is proclaimed in the land, for the report will come one year, and then another the next year. There will be violence in the land with ruler against ruler.

Look! I am stirring up the Medes against them, who cannot be bought off with silver and who have no desire for gold.
