Jeremiah 51:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her and let us each go to his own country, for her guilt and the judgment against her reach to heaven and are lifted even to the skies.^(A)

¹⁰ The Lord has brought forth and made known the righteousness [of our cause]; come and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.

¹¹ Make clean and sharp the arrows, take up the shields or coats of armor [and cover your bodies with them]! The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes [who with the Persians will destroy the Babylonian Empire], for His purpose concerning Babylon is to destroy it; for that is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance [upon Babylon for the plundering and destruction] of His temple.
