“ Look! An army is coming from the north. I am stirring up a great nation and many kings. They are coming from a land that is very far away.

“ 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.

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

“ Behold, a people is coming from the north, And a great nation and many kings Will be roused from the remote parts of the earth.

“ 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.

“ Lift up a banner in the land! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations for battle against her; summon against her these kingdoms: Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander against her; send up horses like a swarm of locusts.Prepare the nations for battle against her— the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their officials, and all the countries they rule.

For I will stir up and bring against Babylon an alliance of great nations from the land of the north. They will take up their positions against her, and from the north she will be captured. Their arrows will be like skilled warriors who do not return empty-handed.

This is what the Lord says:“ Look, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is being stirred up from the ends of the earth.They are armed with bow and spear; they are cruel and show no mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you, Daughter Zion.”

Raise a banner on a bare hilltop, shout to them; beckon to them to enter the gates of the nobles.I have commanded those I prepared for battle; I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath— those who rejoice in my triumph.Listen, a noise on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations massing together! The Lord Almighty is mustering an army for war.They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens— the Lord and the weapons of his wrath— to destroy the whole country.

“ Sharpen the arrows, take up the shields! The Lord has stirred up the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is to destroy Babylon. The Lord will take vengeance, vengeance for his temple.

See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold.Their bows will strike down the young men; they will have no mercy on infants, nor will they look with compassion on children.

The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.

“ Announce and proclaim among the nations, lift up a banner and proclaim it; keep nothing back, but say,‘ Babylon will be captured; Bel will be put to shame, Marduk filled with terror. Her images will be put to shame and her idols filled with terror.’A nation from the north will attack her and lay waste her land. No one will live in it; both people and animals will flee away.

They themselves will be enslaved by many nations and great kings; I will repay them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”

This is what the Lord says:“ See, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer against Babylon and the people of Leb Kamai.I will send foreigners to Babylon to winnow her and to devastate her land; they will oppose her on every side in the day of her disaster.
