Jeremiah 51:11

Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed!

Wail for her!

Take balm for her pain.

Perhaps she may be healed.

“We would have healed Babylon,

but she is not healed.

Forsake her,

and let’s each go into his own country;

for her judgment reaches to heaven,

and is lifted up even to the skies.

‘The LORD has produced our righteousness.

Come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.’

Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon!

Make the watch strong!

Set the watchmen,

and prepare the ambushes;

for the LORD has both purposed and done

that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.

You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures,

your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.

The LORD of Armies has sworn by himself, saying,

‘Surely I will fill you with men,

as with locusts,

and they will lift up a shout against you.’
