Jeremiah 51:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 Sharpen the arrows!
Hang on to the shields!
The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes,
because his purpose is to destroy Babylon.
This is the vengeance of the Lord,
vengeance for his temple.
12 Raise a signal flag against the walls of Babylon!
Strengthen the guard!
Set the watch,
and prepare an ambush!
The Lord has done what he said he would do
against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 You who live by many waters,
you who are rich in treasures,
your end has come,
the full measure[a] of your violence.
