Jeremiah 51:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 The Lord has brought forth our vindication;
come, let us tell in Zion
what the Lord, our God, has done.(A)
11 Sharpen the arrows,
fill the quivers;
The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes,[a]
for his resolve is Babylon’s destruction.
Yes, it is retribution from the Lord,
retribution for his temple.(B)
12 Over the walls of Babylon raise a signal,
reinforce the watch;
Post sentries,
arrange ambushes!
For the Lord has both planned and carried out
what he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
