Jeremiah 51:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babel, make the watch strong: set up the watchmen: prepare the scouts: for the Lord hath both devised, and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babel.
13 O thou that dwellest upon many [a]waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, even the [b]end of thy covetousness.
14 The Lord of hosts hath sworn by [c](A)himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillars, and they shall cry and shout against thee.
