11 (A)Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers!
The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes,
Because His plan is against Babylon to destroy it;
For it is the (B)vengeance of the Lord, vengeance for His temple.
12 (C)Lift up a signal flag against the walls of Babylon;
Post a strong guard,
Station [a]sentries,
Set up an ambush!
For the Lord has both (D)planned and performed
What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
