3 “For out of the ^onorth a nation has come up against her, which shall make her land a desolation, and none shall dwell in it; both man and beast shall flee away.

9 For behold, ^yI am stirring up and bringing against Babylon a gathering of great nations, from the north country. And they shall array themselves against her. From there she shall be taken. Their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
