Jeremiah 51:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 We would have cured Babel, but she could not be healed: forsake her, and let [a]us go everyone into his own country: for her judgment is come up into heaven, and is lifted up to the clouds.
10 The Lord hath brought forth our [b]righteousness: come and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.
11 Make bright the arrows: [c]gather the shields: the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the King of the Medes: for his purpose is against Babel to destroy it, because it is the [d]vengeance of the Lord, and the vengeance of his Temple.
