Jeremiah 51:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers!
The Lord has stirred up the spirit
    of the kings of the Medes—
        he has decided to destroy Babylon.
Indeed, it’s the Lord’s vengeance,
    vengeance for his Temple.
¹² Lift up the battle standard^[a] against Babylon’s walls.
    Strengthen the guard;
        post watchmen.^[b]
Set men in position for an ambush.
    For the Lord will both plan and carry out what he has
        declared against the inhabitants of Babylon.
¹³ You who live beside many waters,
    rich in treasures,
your end has come,
    your life thread is cut.^[c]
