Jeremiah 50:8-10

New King James Version

⁸“Move^(A) from the midst of Babylon,
Go out of the land of the Chaldeans;
And be like the ^[a]rams before the flocks.
⁹^(B)For behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon
An assembly of great nations from the north country,
And they shall array themselves against her;
From there she shall be captured.
Their arrows shall be like those of ^[b]an expert warrior;
^(C)None shall return in vain.
¹⁰And Chaldea shall become plunder;
^(D)All who plunder her shall be satisfied,” says the Lord.
