Jeremiah 51:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ We applied healing to Babylon,
    but she is not healed.
Forsake her, and let us each go into his own country;
    for her judgment reaches to heaven
    and is lifted up even to the skies.

¹⁰ The Lord has brought forth our righteousness.
    Come, and let us declare in Zion
    the work of the Lord our God.

¹¹ Sharpen the arrows.
    Gather the shields.
The Lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes.
    For His device is against Babylon, to destroy it;
because it is the vengeance of the Lord,
    the vengeance of His temple.
