“ Announce this message among the nations. Lift up a banner. Let the nations hear the message. Do not keep anything back. Say,‘ Babylon will be captured. The god named Bel will be put to shame. The god named Marduk will be filled with terror. Babylon’s gods will be put to shame. The gods its people made will be filled with terror.’

“ Declare among the nations and proclaim, set up a banner and proclaim, conceal it not, and say:‘ Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed. Her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.’

This is what the Lord says:“ Tell the whole world, and keep nothing back. Raise a signal flag to tell everyone that Babylon will fall! Her images and idols will be shattered. Her gods Bel and Marduk will be utterly disgraced.

Announce to the nations; proclaim and raise up a signal flag; proclaim, and hide nothing. Say,“ Babylon is captured; Bel is put to shame; Marduk is terrified.” Her idols are put to shame; her false gods, devastated.

“ Declare and proclaim among the nations. Proclaim it and lift up a flag, Do not conceal it. Say,‘ Babylon has been captured, Bel has been put to shame, Marduk has been shattered; Her idols have been put to shame, her images have been shattered.’

“ Declare among the nations, Proclaim, and set up a standard; Proclaim— do not conceal it— Say,‘ Babylon is taken, Bel is shamed. Merodach is broken in pieces; Her idols are humiliated, Her images are broken in pieces.’

Declare ye among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed; her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.

Announce to the nations; proclaim and raise up a signal flag; proclaim, and hide nothing. Say: Babylon is captured; Bel is put to shame; Marduk is devastated; her idols are put to shame; her false gods, devastated.

彼勒屈膝跪下，尼波彎腰降服。這些巴比倫的偶像成為野獸和牲畜背上的重負，使其疲憊不堪。

看啊，戰車和一對對的騎兵來了。」他又接著說：「巴比倫傾倒了！傾倒了！她所有的神像都被打碎在地上。」

「看啊，時候將到，我必懲罰巴比倫的神像，使巴比倫全國蒙羞，屍橫遍野。

我要懲罰巴比倫的神明彼勒，使他吐出所吞噬的。巴比倫的城牆要倒塌，萬國必不再湧向她。

要在列國述說祂的榮耀，在萬民中述說祂的奇妙作為。

「看啊，時候將到，我要懲罰巴比倫的神像，使巴比倫到處都是受傷者的呻吟。這是耶和華說的。

我知道他們的所作所為和所思所想。我要召集萬邦萬民，使他們看見我的榮耀。我要在他們中間行神蹟，我要派一些生還者到他施、普勒、路德、米設、羅施、土巴、雅完各國，以及那些沒有聽過我名聲也沒有見過我榮耀的遙遠海島，在列國傳揚我的榮耀。

報信的人接踵而來，向巴比倫王稟告，『整座城已失守，

要在光禿的山頂上豎立旗幟，向戰士高呼，揮手示意他們進攻貴族居住的城。

「你要在埃及宣佈，在密奪、挪弗和答比匿宣告，『你們要準備戰鬥，因為刀劍要吞噬你們周圍的人。』

因此，耶和華說：「列國啊，你們要聽！眾見證人啊，要知道這些百姓的結局！

這樣，人人必敬畏上帝，傳揚祂奇妙的作為，思想祂所做的事。

我看見另一位天使在空中飛翔，要將永遠的福音傳給地上的各國家、各部落、各語言族群、各民族。他大聲說：「當敬畏上帝，歸榮耀給祂，因為祂審判的時候到了。要敬拜造天、地、海和一切水源的那位。」接著又一位天使說：「巴比倫大城倒塌了！倒塌了！她曾引誘萬民喝她那淫亂的烈酒。」

猶大王約雅斤被擄後第三十七年，即巴比倫王以未·米羅達元年十二月二十五日，巴比倫王恩待約雅斤，釋放了他，

轉瞬之間，巴比倫必毀滅。你們要為她哀悼，拿藥為她止痛，或許可以治好她。

「你已經聽見了，看看這一切，難道你還不承認嗎？現在我要把新事，把你不知道的隱秘事告訴你。

「列國啊，你們要聽耶和華的話，要在遠方的海島宣揚，『祂從前驅散以色列人，如今必再聚集、保護他們，好像牧人看守自己的羊群一樣。』

把他們的神像丟進火中燒毀。因為那些神像只是人用木頭石頭製造的，根本不是神。

巴比倫被毀滅的消息震動天下，呼喊聲傳到列國。

他用強有力的聲音喊著說：「巴比倫大城倒塌了！倒塌了！她成了鬼魔的住處、各樣污鬼的監獄和一切可憎的不潔鳥獸的牢籠！

到那日，你們必歌唱：「要稱頌耶和華，求告祂的名；要在萬民中傳揚祂的作為，宣告祂的名配受尊崇。

耶和華說：「你們去通知列國，向耶路撒冷宣告，『圍攻的人從遠方來，向猶大的城邑高聲喊殺，

他要焚燒埃及的神廟，擄走神像；他要像牧人披上外衣一樣輕而易舉地征服埃及，然後安然離去。他要摧毀埃及太陽神廟的神柱，燒毀埃及的神廟。』」

耶和華必令他們恐懼，因為祂要消滅世上的神明。天下萬民必各在本地敬拜祂。
