Jeremiah 51:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ “The people of Judah say, ‘The Lord has shown us to be right.
    Come, let us tell in Jerusalem
    what the Lord our God has done.’

¹¹ “Sharpen the arrows!
    Pick up your shields!
The Lord has stirred up the kings of the Medes,
    because he wants to destroy Babylon.
The Lord will punish them as they deserve
    for destroying his Temple.
¹² Lift up a banner against the walls of Babylon!
    Bring more guards.
Put the watchmen in their places,
    and get ready for a secret attack!
The Lord will certainly do what he has planned
    and what he said he would do against the people of Babylon.
