Jeremiah 51:12-14
Lexham English Bible
12 Against the walls of Babylon raise a banner;
post a strong watch,[a] post watchmen, prepare the ambushes,
for Yahweh has both planned as well as performed
what he has spoken concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 O you who live by mighty waters, rich in treasures,
your end has come, the measure of your life.[b]
14 Yahweh of hosts has sworn by himself,
“Surely I will fill you with troops like the creeping locusts,[c]
and they will sing over you a war cry.”
