Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

Go ye forth of Babylon ... tell this ... to the end of the earth. Primarily a prophecy of their joyful deliverance from Babylon, and a direction that they should leave it when God opened the way.

Redeemed ... Jacob - (Isaiah 43:1; Isaiah 44:22-23.)
