“·Run away [Flee] from Babylon,
    and leave the land of the ·Babylonians [L Chaldeans].
    Be like the goats that lead the flock.
I will soon ·arouse [L stir up] and bring against Babylon
    ·many great nations [a large assembly of nations] from the north [C led by Persia].
They will take their places for war against it,
    and it will be captured ·by people from the north [L from there].
Their arrows are like trained soldiers
    who do not return [C from war] with empty hands.
10 The ·enemy will take all the wealth from the Babylonians [L Chaldeans will be plundered].
    ·Those enemy soldiers will get all they want [L The plunderers will be satisfied/sated],” says the Lord.

    leave the land of the Babylonians,
    and be like the goats that lead the flock.

    an alliance of great nations(D) from the land of the north.(E)
They will take up their positions against her,
    and from the north she will be captured.(F)
Their arrows(G) will be like skilled warriors
    who do not return empty-handed.
10 So Babylonia[a] will be plundered;(H)
    all who plunder her will have their fill,”
