Jeremiah 51:11-14
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 (A)Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers!
The Lord has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes,
Because His purpose is against Babylon to destroy it;
For it is the (B)vengeance of the Lord, vengeance for His temple.
12 (C)Lift up a [a]signal against the walls of Babylon;
Post a strong guard,
Station [b]sentries,
Place men in ambush!
For the Lord has both (D)purposed and performed
What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 O you who (E)dwell by many waters,
Abundant in (F)treasures,
Your end has come,
The [c]measure of your [d](G)end.
14 The (H)Lord of hosts has sworn by Himself:
“Surely I will fill you with a [e]population like (I)locusts,
And they will cry out with [f]shouts of victory over you.”
