    Blow the ·trumpet [ram’s horn] among the nations!
·Get the nations ready for battle against Babylon [^LConsecrate the nations against it].
    Call these kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz [^Cnear Lake Urmia and Lake Van to the northwest of Babylon, and part of the coalition against it] against her [^Cto fight].
Choose a commander ·to lead the army against Babylon [^Lagainst it].
    ·Send [^LBring up] so many horses that they are like a swarm of locusts.
²⁸ ·Get the nations ready for battle against Babylon [^LConsecrate the nations against it]—
    the kings of the Medes,
their governors and all their officers,
    and all the countries they rule.

    because the Lord will do what he has planned to Babylon.
He will make Babylon an ·empty desert [desolation],
    where no one will live.
