27 (A)Lift up a signal flag in the land,
Blow a trumpet among the nations!
Consecrate the nations against her,
Summon against her the (B)kingdoms of (C)Ararat, Minni, and (D)Ashkenaz;
Appoint an officer against her,
Bring up the (E)horses like bristly locusts.
28 Consecrate the nations against her,
The kings of the Medes,
[a]Their governors and all [b]their officials,
And every land [c]under their control.
29 So the (F)land quakes and writhes,
For the plans of the Lord against Babylon stand,
To make the land of Babylon
[d]A (G)desolation without inhabitants.
