Jeremiah 51:11-14
English Standard Version
11 (A)“Sharpen the arrows!
Take up the shields!
(B)The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of (C)the Medes, because (D)his purpose concerning Babylon is to destroy it, (E)for that is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance for (F)his temple.
12 (G)“Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon;
(H)make the watch strong;
set up watchmen;
prepare the ambushes;
(I)for the Lord has both planned and done
what he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 (J)O you who dwell by many waters,
rich in treasures,
your end has come;
the thread of your life is cut.
14 (K)The Lord of hosts has sworn by himself:
Surely I will fill you with men, (L)as many as locusts,
(M)and they shall raise the shout of victory over you.
