Jeremiah 51:12-14
Living Bible
12 Prepare your defenses, Babylon! Set many watchmen on your walls; send out an ambush, for the Lord will do all he has said he would concerning Babylon. 13 O wealthy port, great center of commerce, your end has come; the thread of your life is cut. 14 The Lord Almighty has taken this vow and sworn to it in his own name: Your cities shall be filled with enemies, like fields filled with locusts in a plague, and they shall lift to the skies their mighty shouts of victory.

12 Lift up a banner(A) against the walls of Babylon!
Reinforce the guard,

prepare an ambush!(C)
The Lord will carry out his purpose,(D)
his decree against the people of Babylon.

your end has come,
the time for you to be destroyed.(G)
14 The Lord Almighty has sworn by himself:(H)
I will surely fill you with troops, as with a swarm of locusts,(I)

Jeremiah 51:12-14
King James Version
12 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
14 The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
