«أَخْبِرُوا فِي الشُّعُوبِ، وَأَسْمِعُوا وَارْفَعُوا رَايَةً. أَسْمِعُوا لاَ تُخْفُوا. قُولُوا: أُخِذَتْ بَابِلُ. خَزِيَ بِيلُ. انْسَحَقَ مَرُودَخُ. خَزِيَتْ أَوْثَانُهَا. انْسَحَقَتْ أَصْنَامُهَا.
Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
