He who dashes in pieces has come up against you. Keep the fortress! Watch the way! Strengthen your waist! Fortify your power mightily!

You are My battle club, My weapons of war. With you I will smash nations; with you I will bring kingdoms to ruin.With you I will smash the horse and its rider; with you I will smash the chariot and its rider.With you I will smash man and woman; with you I will smash the old man and the youth; with you I will smash the young man and the young woman.With you I will smash the shepherd and his flock; with you I will smash the farmer and his ox-team. With you I will smash governors and officials.

How the hammer of the whole earth is cut down and smashed! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!

But if you go with them, do it! Be strong for battle! But God will make you stumble before the enemy, for God has the power to help or to make one stumble.”

Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for holy war; rouse the warriors; let all the men of war advance and attack!Beat your plows into swords and your pruning knives into spears. Let even the weakling say,“ I am a warrior.”Come quickly, all you surrounding nations; gather yourselves. Bring down Your warriors there, Lord.

Draw water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses. Step into the clay and tread the mortar; take hold of the brick-mold!The fire will devour you there; the sword will cut you down. It will devour you like the young locust. Multiply yourselves like the young locust, multiply like the swarming locust!

It struck the peoples in anger with unceasing blows. It subdued the nations in rage with relentless persecution.

Deploy small shields and large; draw near for battle!Harness the horses; mount the steeds; take your positions with helmets on! Polish the lances; put on armor!Why have I seen this? They are terrified, they are retreating, their warriors are crushed, they flee headlong, they never look back, terror is on every side! This is the Lord’s declaration.The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape! In the north by the bank of the Euphrates River, they stumble and fall.Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters churn?Egypt rises like the Nile, and its waters churn like rivers. He boasts,“ I will go up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities with their residents.”Rise up, you cavalry! Race furiously, you chariots! Let the warriors go out— Cush and Put, who are able to handle shields, and the Ludim, who are able to handle and string the bow.That day belongs to the Lord, the God of Hosts, a day of vengeance to avenge Himself against His adversaries. The sword will devour and be satisfied; it will drink its fill of their blood, because it will be a sacrifice to the Lord, the God of Hosts, in the northern land by the Euphrates River.

Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! The Lord has put it into the mind of the kings of the Medes because His plan is aimed at Babylon to destroy her, for it is the Lord’s vengeance, vengeance for His temple.Raise up a signal flag against the walls of Babylon; fortify the watch post; set the watchmen in place; prepare the ambush. For the Lord has both planned and accomplished what He has threatened against those who live in Babylon.

I am going to send for all the families of the north’— this is the Lord’s declaration—‘ and send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will bring them against this land, against its residents, and against all these surrounding nations, and I will completely destroy them and make them a desolation, a derision, and ruins forever.
