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.’
