²⁷ Let a flag be lifted up in the land, let the horn be sounded among the nations, make the nations ready against her; get the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz together against her, make ready a scribe against her; let the horses come up against her like massed locusts.

³ For out of the north a nation is coming up against her, which will make her land waste and unpeopled: they are in flight, man and beast are gone.
