Jeremiah 51:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ We would have cured Babylon, but she is not healed: let us forsake her, and let us go every man to his own land: because her judgment hath reached even to the heavens, and is lifted up to the clouds.

¹⁰ The Lord hath brought forth our justices: Come, and let us declare in Sion the work of the Lord our God.

¹¹ Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers, the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: and his mind is against Babylon to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
