Flee from Babylon and the land of the Chaldeans;
    be like male goats leading the flock.
Behold, I will stir up against Babylon
    a host of mighty nations from the land of the north.
They will advance against her,
    and there she will be conquered.
Their arrows are like those of a skilled warrior
    that are never shot unsuccessfully.
10 Chaldea will be plundered,
    and all who plunder her will be sated,
    says the Lord.

“Flee(A) out of Babylon;(B)
    leave the land of the Babylonians,
    and be like the goats that lead the flock.
For I will stir(C) up and bring against Babylon
    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,”
declares the Lord.
