Jeremiah 51:11-14
Legacy Standard Bible
11 (A)Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers!
Yahweh 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 Yahweh, vengeance for His temple.
12 (C)Lift up a standard against the walls of Babylon;
Make strong the watch;
Raise up [a]watchmen;
Establish men in ambush!
For Yahweh has both (D)purposed and performed
What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 O you who (E)dwell by abundant waters,
Abundant in (F)treasures,
Your end has come,
The [b]measure of your [c](G)end.
14 (H)Yahweh of hosts has sworn by Himself:
“Surely I will fill you with a [d]population like (I)locusts,
And they will cry out with [e]shouts of victory over you.”

Jeremiah 51:11-14
American Standard Version
11 Make [a]sharp the arrows; [b]hold firm the [c]shields: Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple. 12 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both purposed and done that which he spake concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. 13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy [d]covetousness. 14 Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, [e]Surely I will fill thee with men, as with the canker-worm; [f]and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
