Jeremiah
Jeremiah 51:27–28
27“Raise a banner in the land!
Blow the ram’s horn among the nations!
Prepare the nations against her.
Summon the kingdoms against her —
Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz.
Appoint a captain against her;
bring up horses like swarming locusts.
28Prepare the nations for battle against her —
the kings of the Medes,
their governors and all their officials,
and all the lands they rule.
