I will send your lovers against you from every direction, those very nations from which you turned away in disgust.

For the Babylonians will come with all the Chaldeans from Pekod and Shoah and Koah, and all the Assyrians will come with their handsome young captains, commanders, chariot officers, and other high-ranking officers, all riding their horses.

They will all come against you from the north with chariots, wagons, and a great army prepared for attack.

They will take up positions on every side, surrounding you with men armed with shields and helmets, and I will hand you over to them for punishment.

For I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant.

Against the land of Merethaim, go up against it and against the inhabitants of Pekod.

Put them to the sword and devote them to destruction, declares Yahweh.

and do according to all that I have commanded you.

"In those days, and in that time," declares the Lord, "iniquity shall be sought in Israel, and there shall be none; and sin in Judah, and none shall be found; for I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant.

Go up against the land of Merathaim and against the inhabitants of Pekod; kill and devote them to destruction," declares the Lord, "and do all that I have commanded you." The noise of battle is in the land and great destruction.

How the hammer of the whole earth is cut down and broken.

How Babylon has become a horror among the nations.
