For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

The verse 9 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.

Porque he aquí que yo suscito y hago subir contra Babilonia reunión de grandes pueblos de la tierra del aquilón; y desde allí se aparejarán contra ella, y será tomada: sus flechas como de valiente diestro, que no se tornará en vano.
Porque voy a despertar y hacer subir contra Babilonia una asamblea de grandes naciones de la tierra del norte. Se alinearán contra ella y desde allí será conquistada. Sus flechas serán como las de un guerrero diestro que no regresa con las manos vacías.
Car voici, je vais susciter et faire monter contre Babylone Une multitude de grandes nations du pays du septentrion; Elles se rangeront en bataille contre elle, et s'en empareront; Leurs flèches sont comme un habile guerrier, Qui ne revient pas à vide.
Perciocchè, ecco, io eccito, e fo levare contro a Babilonia una raunanza di grandi nazioni del paese di Settentrione; ed esse ordineranno la battaglia contro a lei, e sarà presa; le lor saette saranno come d’un valente, ed intendente saettatore che non ritorna a vuoto.
Porque eis que eu suscitarei e farei subir contra a Babilônia uma congregação de grandes nações da terra do norte, e se prepararão contra ela; dali será tomada; as suas flechas serão como as de valente herói, nenhuma tornará sem efeito.
