For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

The verse 3 is found in chapter 50 of Jeremiah. Babylon, the instrument previously used to discipline Judah, now receives a lengthy oracle of judgment. Israel and Judah will be sought and will return together to Zion, while Babylon’s sins lead to its downfall. The reversal is central: the empire that appeared permanent becomes an object of judgment.

Denn es zieht von Mitternacht ein Volk herauf wider sie, welches wird ihr Land zur Wüste machen, daß niemand darin wohnen wird, sondern beide, Leute und Vieh, davonfliehen werden.
Porque subió contra ella gente del aquilón, la cual pondrá su tierra en asolamiento, y no habrá ni hombre ni animal que en ella more: moviéronse, se fueron.
Porque una nación ha subido contra ella desde el norte; convertirá su tierra en una desolación, sin que nadie viva en ella. Tanto los seres humanos como los animales han huido, se han marchado.
Car une nation monte contre elle du septentrion, Elle réduira son pays en désert, Il n'y aura plus d'habitants; Hommes et bêtes fuient, s'en vont.
Perciocchè una nazione è salita contro a lei dal Settentrione, la quale metterà il paese di quella in desolazione, e non vi sarà più alcuno che abiti in lei; uomini, e bestie si son dileguati, se ne sono andati via.
Porque subiu contra ela uma nação do norte, que fará da sua terra uma solidão, e não haverá quem nela habite; tanto os homens como os animais fugiram, e se foram.
因有一國從北方上來攻擊它,使它的地荒涼,無人居住,連人帶牲畜都逃走了。
