Jeremiah 51:11

A Message Concerning Babylon

¹⁰ The Lord has brought about our vindication;
Come and let us recount in Zion
The work of the Lord our God!
¹¹ Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers!
The Lord 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 the Lord, vengeance for His temple.
¹² Lift up a signal against the walls of Babylon;
Post a strong guard,
Station sentries,
Place men in ambush!
For the Lord has both purposed and performed
What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
