Jeremiah 51:12-14

New Century Version

¹² Lift up a banner against the walls of Babylon!
    Bring more guards.
Put the watchmen in their places,
    and get ready for a secret attack!
The Lord will certainly do what he has planned
    and what he said he would do against the people of Babylon.
¹³ People of Babylon, you live near much water
    and are rich with many treasures,
but your end as a nation has come.
    It is time to stop you from robbing other nations.
¹⁴ The Lord All-Powerful has promised in his own name:
    ‘Babylon, I will surely fill you with so many enemy soldiers they will be like a swarm of locusts.
    They will stand over you and shout their victory.’
