Jeremiah 51:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 Sharpen the arrows!
Fill the quivers!
The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes because his purpose concerning Babylon is to destroy it, for that is the vengeance of the Lord, vengeance for his temple.(A)
12 Raise a standard against the walls of Babylon;
make the watch strong;
post sentinels;
prepare the ambushes,
for the Lord has both planned and done
what he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.(B)
13 You who live by mighty waters,
rich in treasures,
your end has come;
the thread of your life is cut.(C)
