But she is not healed.
Forsake her, and alet us go everyone to his own country;
bFor her judgment reaches to heaven and is lifted up to the skies.
Come and let us bdeclare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.
Gather the shields!
bThe Lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes.
cFor His plan is against Babylon to destroy it,
Because it is dthe vengeance of the Lord,
The vengeance for His temple.
Make the guard strong,
Set up the watchmen,
Prepare the ambushes.
For the Lord has both devised and done
What He spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
Abundant in treasures,
Your end has come,
The measure of your covetousness.
“Surely I will fill you with men, bas with locusts,
And they shall lift cup a shout against you.”

Jeremiah 51:11
Make bright - Rather, Sharpen.
The Medes Genesis 10:2 were a branch of the great Aryan family, who as conquerors had seized upon the vast regions extending from the Caspian Sea to the eastern borders of Mesopotamia, but without being able to dispossess the Turanian tribes who had previously dwelt there. They were divided into numerous clans, each with its own local chief, the leaders of the larger sections being those who are here called kings.
