Jeremiah 51:11 - 51:14

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 vengeance of Yahweh, vengeance for His temple.

Lift up a standard against the walls of Babylon;

Make strong the watch;

Raise up watchmen;

Establish men in ambush!

For Yahweh has both purposed and performed

What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.

O you who dwell by abundant waters,

Abundant in treasures,

Your end has come,

The measure of your end.

Yahweh of hosts has sworn by Himself:

“Surely I will fill you with a population like locusts,

And they will cry out with shouts of victory over you.”
