Jeremiah 51:12-14

International Standard Version

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]
14 The Lord of the Heavenly Armies
    has sworn by himself:
“I’ll surely fill you with soldiers^[d] like a swarm of locusts,
    and they’ll sing songs of victory over you.”
