“Run away from Babylon,
    and leave the land of the Babylonians.
    Be like the goats that lead the flock.
I will soon bring against Babylon
    many great nations from the north.
They will take their places for war against it,
    and it will be captured by people from the north.
Their arrows are like trained soldiers
    who do not return from war with empty hands.
10 The enemy will take all the wealth from the Babylonians.
    Those enemy soldiers will get all they want,” 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.
