Context Reading
1The word that Yahweh spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet. 2“Declare among the nations and publish,and set up a standard;publish, and don’t conceal;say, ‘Babylon has been taken,Bel is disappointed,Merodach is dismayed!Her images are disappointed.Her idols are dismayed.’ 3For a nation comes up out of the north against her,which will make her land desolate,and no one will dwell in it.They have fled.They are gone,both man and animal. 4“In those days, and in that time,” says Yahweh,“the children of Israel will come,they and the children of Judah together;they will go on their way weeping,and will seek Yahweh their God.
