Jeremiah 51:9-11

The Voice

⁹ Exiles: We would like to have healed Babylon,
        but she was beyond our help.
    It is time to leave her and go home before it is too late,
        before we get caught in her coming judgment.
    Look, even now it fills the skies, rising up to the clouds.
¹⁰     The Eternal has vindicated us;
        come, we must tell those in Jerusalem
    What the Eternal our God has done!

¹¹ Enemies of Babylon, sharpen your arrows
    and fill your quivers. Get ready to attack!
For the Eternal has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes
    to accomplish His purpose against Babylon.
He will exact His vengeance for what the Chaldeans did to His temple.
