“ Look! An army is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are being stirred up from the ends of the earth.

“ Behold, a people comes from the north; a mighty nation and many kings are stirring from the farthest parts of the earth.

“ Look! A great army is coming from the north. A great nation and many kings are rising against you from far off lands.

“ Behold, a people shall come from the north, And a great nation and many kings Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.

Behold, a people cometh from the north; and a great nation and many kings shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

Look! A people comes from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the remote regions of the earth.

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.

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 a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.

This is what the LORD says: Look, an army is coming from a northern land; a great nation will be stirred up from the remote regions of the earth.They grasp bow and javelin. They are cruel and show no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, lined up like men in battle formation against you, Daughter Zion.

Lift up a banner on a barren mountain. Call out to them. Signal with your hand, and they will go through the gates of the nobles.I have commanded my consecrated ones; yes, I have called my warriors, who celebrate my triumph, to execute my wrath.Listen, a commotion on the mountains, like that of a mighty people! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations being gathered together! The LORD of Armies is mobilizing an army for war.They are coming from a distant land, from the farthest horizon— the LORD and the weapons of his wrath— to destroy the whole country.

Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! The LORD has roused the spirit 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.

Look! I am stirring up the Medes against them, who cannot be bought off with silver and who have no desire for gold.Their bows will cut young men to pieces. They will have no compassion on offspring; they will not look with pity on children.

The ten horns you saw, and the beast, will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, devour her flesh, and burn her up with fire.

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.For a nation from the north will attack her; it will make her land desolate. No one will be living in it— both people and animals will escape.

For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.’”

This is what the LORD says: I am about to rouse the spirit of a destroyer against Babylon and against the population of Leb-qamai.I will send strangers to Babylon who will scatter her and strip her land bare, for they will come against her from every side in the day of disaster.
