Jeremiah 51:8-13

Suddenly the cup of Babylon falls to the ground and is shattered. Wail for her! Get medicine for her wounds; perhaps she can be cured. They said, ‘We tried to heal Babylon but failed. She can’t be healed, so let’s each go to our own country. For her judgment has reached up to heaven and rises to the very clouds. YAHWEH has judged in our favor. Come, let us tell the news in Zion, all the wonders that YAHWEH our God has done!’ ” YAHWEH has stirred up a spirit of hostility in the king of the Medes because YAHWEH’s plan is to destroy Babylon. This is YAHWEH’s revenge for destroying his temple. “Sharpen the arrows; fill up your quivers! Give the signal to attack Babylon’s walls! Post sentries and reinforce the guards! Prepare a surprise attack! YAHWEH has done what he said he would do to the people of Babylon. You who are enthroned beside many rivers and canals and are rich in treasures, your end has come. The thread of your life is cut.
