9. I’m stirring up against Babylona coalition of mighty nations.It will mobilize in the north,and from there she will be captured.Their arrows are like those of an expert archerwho does not return empty-handed.
10. Babylon will be defeated;its attackers will carry off all that they want,declares the Lord.
11. Sure, you gloat and rejoice,you plunderers of my possession.Sure, you dance around like a calfand neigh like a stallion.
12. But Mother Babylon will be humiliated;the one who bore you will be disgraced.She will become the least of the nations:a wilderness, a desert, and parched land.
