    Blow the trumpet among the nations!

    Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz.
Appoint a commander against her;
    send up horses like a swarm of locusts.
28 Prepare the nations for battle against her –
    the kings of the Medes,
their governors and all their officials,

to lay waste the land of Babylon
    so that no one will live there.
