Jeremiah 51:12
Compare all
10 The Lord has arevealed our righteousness.
Come and let us bdeclare in Zion the work of the Lord our God. 
11 aMake1 the arrows bright!
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. 
12 aSet up the standard on the walls of Babylon;
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. 
13 aO you who dwell by many waters,
Abundant in treasures,
Your end has come,
The measure of your covetousness. 
14 aThe Lord of hosts has sworn by Himself:
“Surely I will fill you with men, bas with locusts,
And they shall lift cup a shout against you.”

Jeremiah 51:12

Set up - These seem to be the prophet's words to the Babylonians, rousing them out of their security. Historians tell us that the city was fortified by walls of fifty cubits high, and two hundred cubits broad, and by a very deep and large ditch.
