Jeremiah 51:10-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 51
10The Lord has brought about our vindication; Come and let’s recount in Zion The work of the Lord our God! 11Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers! The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes, Because His plan is against Babylon to destroy it; For it is the vengeance of the Lord, vengeance for His temple. 12Lift up a signal flag against the walls of Babylon; Post a strong guard, Station sentries, Set up an ambush! For the Lord has both planned and performed What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. 13You who live by many waters, Abundant in treasures, Your end has come, The measure of your end. 14The Lord of armies has sworn by Himself: 'I will certainly fill you with a population like locusts, And they will cry out with shouts of victory over you.'King James Version

Chapter 51
10The Lord has brought about our vindication; come, let’s tell in Zion what the Lord our God has accomplished. 11Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! The Lord has roused the spirit of the kings of the Medes because his plan is aimed at Babylon to destroy her, for it is the Lord’s vengeance, vengeance for his temple. 12Raise up a signal flag against the walls of Babylon; fortify the watch post; set the watchmen in place; prepare the ambush. For the Lord has both planned and accomplished what he has threatened against those who live in Babylon. 13You who reside by abundant water, rich in treasures, your end has come, your life thread is cut.New Living Translation
11Sharpen the arrows! Lift up the shields! For the Lord has inspired the kings of the Medes to march against Babylon and destroy her. This is his vengeance against those who desecrated his Temple.
12Raise the battle flag against Babylon! Reinforce the guard and station the watchmen. Prepare an ambush, for the Lord will fulfill all his plans against Babylon.
13You are a city by a great river, a great center of commerce, but your end has come. The thread of your life is cut.
14The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has taken this vow and has sworn to it by his own name: 'Your cities will be filled with enemies, like fields swarming with locusts, and they will shout in triumph over you.'
