Jeremiah 51:12

A Message Concerning Babylon

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.
¹³ O you who dwell by many waters,
Abundant in treasures,
Your end has come,
The measure of your end.

It is the Lord

Lifted Up
