Lift ye up
a banner upon the high mountain! Exalt the voice! shake the hand, that
they may go into the gates of the nobles! Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O
Media! Therefore shall evil come upon thee, and thou shalt not know from
whence it cometh. Desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou
shalt not know. I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken,
and thou wast not aware. O thou that dwellest upon many waters, I will
dry up her sea, and make her springs dry. A drought is upon her waters,
and they shall be dried up. In her heat I will make their feasts, and I
will make them drunken, that they may repose and sleep a perpetual sleep,
and not wake, saith the Lord. Arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield!
Prepare slaughter for his children, for the iniquity of their fathers,
that they do not rise and possess the land; for I will rise up against
thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name and
remnant, and son and nephew, saith the Lord.'
"These, O king, are some of the predictions of Jehovah against Babylon,
by the mouths of his holy prophets.
