Jeremiah 51:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹² Raise a standard against the walls of Babylon;
    make the watch strong;
post sentinels;
    prepare the ambushes;
for the Lord has both planned and done
    what he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
¹³ You who live by mighty waters,
    rich in treasures,
your end has come,
    the thread of your life is cut.
¹⁴ The Lord of hosts has sworn by himself:
Surely I will fill you with troops like a swarm of locusts,
    and they shall raise a shout of victory over you.
