Jeremiah 51:11-13
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.
