Jeremiah 51:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ “Nations, lift up a banner in the land of Babylon!
    Blow a trumpet among yourselves!
Prepare yourselves for battle against Babylon.
    Send the kingdoms
    of Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz against it.
Appoint a commander against it.
    Send many horses against it.
    Let them be as many as a huge number of locusts.
²⁸ Prepare yourselves for battle against Babylon.
    Prepare the kings of the Medes.
Prepare their governors and all their officials.
    Prepare all the countries they rule over.
²⁹ The Babylonians tremble and shake with fear.
    My plans against them stand firm.
I plan to destroy their land completely.
    Then no one will live there.
