I'm going to deal with Bel, Babylon's main god, and make him give back everything he's taken. Nations won't come running to him anymore like they used to. Even Babylon's massive walls are going down.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's taking down false gods and the empires built around them — nothing stays powerful forever.

So here's what the Lord God is saying: I'm handing Egypt over to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. He's going to take everything — the people, the treasure, all of it. Think of it as payment for his army's work.

And I will bring on that land everything I have spoken against it—all the words written in this book that Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.

Raise the battle flag across the land, sound the war trumpet to every nation! Get all the countries ready to fight against Babylon — call up the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz. Put commanders in charge and bring in so many war horses they swarm like locusts ready to devour everything.
