27  ^b“Set up a standard on the earth;

^cblow the trumpet among the nations;

^dprepare ^ethe nations for war against her;

summon against her ^fthe kingdoms,

^gArarat, Minni, and ^hAshkenaz;

appoint a ⁱmarshal against her;

^jbring up horses like bristling locusts.

2  “Declare among the nations and proclaim,

set up a banner and proclaim,

conceal it not, and say:

^e‘Babylon is taken,

^fBel is put to shame,

Merodach is dismayed.

^eHer images are put to shame,

her idols are dismayed.’

2  On a bare hill ^hraise a signal;

cry aloud to them;

wave the hand for ⁱthem to enter

the gates of the nobles.
