Jeremiah 51:9-11

New International Version - UK

⁹ ‘“We would have healed Babylon,
    but she cannot be healed;
let us leave her and each go to our own land,
    for her judgment reaches to the skies,
    it rises as high as the heavens.”

¹⁰ ‘“The Lord has vindicated us;
    come, let us tell in Zion
    what the Lord our God has done.”

¹¹ ‘Sharpen the arrows,
    take up the shields!
The Lord has stirred up the kings of the Medes,
    because his purpose is to destroy Babylon.
The Lord will take vengeance,
    vengeance for his temple.
