Prophecies against Babylon

50 This is the word the Lord spoke about Babylon,(A) the land of the Chaldeans, through the prophet Jeremiah:

Announce to the nations;
proclaim and raise up a signal flag;(B)
proclaim, and hide nothing.
Say, ‘Babylon is captured;
Bel(C) is put to shame;
Marduk is terrified.’

it will make her land desolate.
No one will be living in it –
both people and animals will escape.[a](E)
