⁹ For, behold, I^▵ will stir·​·up and cause to go·​·up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north; and they shall set·​·themselves·​·in·​·array against her; from thence she shall be taken; his arrows shall be as a mighty·​·man bereaving; none shall return empty.

²³ Thus says Jehovah of Armies, the God of Israel: As yet they shall say this word in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall return their captivity: Jehovah bless thee, O home of justice, and mountain of holiness.
