⁹ For lo, I will raise and cause to come against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

²¹ The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.

² Thus says Yahweh, He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey, and he shall live.

³ Thus says Yahweh, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
