Jeremiah 51:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² Upon the walls of Babylon set up the standard, strengthen the watch: set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both purposed, and done all that he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.

¹³ O thou that dwellest upon many waters, rich in treasures, thy end is come for thy entire destruction.

¹⁴ The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying: I will fill thee with men as with locusts, and they shall lift up a joyful shout against thee.
