Jeremias 51:27
Set ye up a standard in the land: sound with the trumpet among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call together against her the kings of Ararat, Menni, and Ascenez: number Taphsar against her, bring the horse as the stinging locust.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Levate signum in terra, clangite buccina in gentibus, sanctificate super eam gentes, annuntiate contra illam regibus Ararat, Menni, et Ascenez : numerate contra eam Taphsar, adducite equum quasi bruchum aculeatum.
- Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 28:27
- ἄρατε σημεῖον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, σαλπίσατε ἐν ἔθνεσιν σάλπιγγι, ἁγιάσατε ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν ἔθνη, παραγγείλατε ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν, βασιλεῖς ἄρατε παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ, καὶ τοῖς Ἀσχαναζέοις· ἐπιστήσατε ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν βελοστάσεις, ἀναβιβάσατε ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν ἵππον ὡς ἀκρίδων πλῆθος.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- שְׂאוּ נֵ֣ס בָּאָ֗רֶץ תִּקְע֨וּ שׁוֹפָ֤ר בַּגּוֹיִם֙ קַדְּשׁ֤וּ עָלֶ֨יהָ֙ גּוֹיִ֔ם הַשְׁמִ֧יעוּ עָלֶ֛יהָ מַמְלְכ֥וֹת אֲרָרַ֖ט מִנִּ֣י וְאַשְׁכְּנָ֑ז פִּקְד֤וּ עָלֶ֨יהָ֙ טִפְסָ֔ר הַֽעֲלוּ ס֖וּס כְּיֶ֥לֶק סָמָֽר
Haydock's commentary
Prepare. Literally, "sanctify." (Haydock)
Call together all nations to fight against Babylon. (Worthington)
Many religious ceremonies were used.
Ararat, where the ark rested, (Genesis viii. 4.) near the Araxes, (St. Jerome, in Isaias xxxvii.) or in the Gordyean mountains, in Armenia, where the Menni dwelt.
Ascenez, or Ascantes, (Calmet) near the Tanais. (Pliny, [Natural History?] vi. 7.)
Taphsar, "the prince," Nahum iii. 17. (Pagnin) "Warriors." (Chaldean) "Machines" (Septuagint)
Caterpillar, or "locust," (bruchum. Haydock) which resembles more a body of cavalry. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "Push forward the cavalry against her, as a multitude of locusts." (Haydock)
