KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 50 of 52

1 The Word that Jehovah spoke against Babylon, against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet:

2 Declare among the nations, and make them hear, and lift up a banner. Make them hear, do not hide it; say, Babylon is captured, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken in pieces, her images are put to shame, her idols are broken in pieces.

3 For a nation comes up against her from the north, which shall make her land a horror. Yea, no one shall dwell in it. They shall flee, they shall go up, both man and animal.
