27 (A)Lift up a standard in the land,
Blow a trumpet among the nations!
Set apart the nations against her;
Summon against her the (B)kingdoms of (C)Ararat, Minni, and (D)Ashkenaz;
Appoint a marshal against her;
Bring up the (E)horses like bristly locusts.
28 Set apart the nations against her,
The kings of the Medes,
[a]Their governors and all [b]their [c]prefects
And every land of [d]their rule.
29 So the (F)land quakes and writhes,
For the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand,
To make the land of Babylon
[e]A (G)desolation without inhabitants.
