约拿单的弓箭非流敌人的血不退缩；扫罗的刀剑非剖勇士的油不收回。

所有拉弓的，你们要在巴比伦的四围摆阵，射箭攻击他。不要爱惜箭枝，因他得罪了耶和华。

因有一国从北方上来攻击他，使他的地荒凉，无人居住，连人带牲畜都逃走了。”

要在境内竖立大旗，在各国中吹角，使列国预备攻击巴比伦，将亚拉腊、米尼、亚实基拿各国招来攻击他；又派军长来攻击他，使马匹上来如蚂蚱，使列国和玛代君王，与省长和副省长，并他们所管全地之人，都预备攻击他。

你们要磨尖了箭头，抓住盾牌。耶和华定意攻击巴比伦，将他毁灭，所以激动了玛代君王的心；因这是耶和华报仇，就是为自己的殿报仇。

耶和华如此说：“我必使毁灭的风刮起，攻击巴比伦和住在立加米的人。我要打发外邦人来到巴比伦，簸扬他，使他的地空虚。在他遭祸的日子，他们要周围攻击他。拉弓的，要向拉弓的和贯甲挺身的射箭。不要怜惜他的少年人；要灭尽他的全军。他们必在迦勒底人之地被杀仆倒，在巴比伦的街上被刺透。”

看哪，有一种民从北方而来，并有一大国和许多君王被激动，从地极来到。他们拿弓和枪，性情残忍，不施怜悯；他们的声音像海浪砰訇。巴比伦城啊，他们骑马，都摆队伍如上战场的人，要攻击你。

应当在净光的山竖立大旗，向群众扬声招手，使他们进入贵胄的门。我吩咐我所挑出来的人；我招呼我的勇士，就是那矜夸高傲之辈，为要成就我怒中所定的。山间有多人的声音，好像是大国人民。有许多国的民聚集哄嚷的声音；这是万军之耶和华点齐军队，预备打仗。他们从远方来，从天边来，就是耶和华并他恼恨的兵器要毁灭这全地。

“我从北方兴起一人；他是求告我名的，从日出之地而来。他必临到掌权的，好像临到灰泥，仿佛窑匠踹泥一样。

你们要从极远的边界来攻击他，开他的仓廪，将他堆如高堆，毁灭净尽，丝毫不留。
