11Sharpen the arrows; fill the shields. Yahweh has stirred up the spirit of the kings of Media, because his plan is against Babylon, to destroy her; for it is the vengeance of Yahweh, vengeance for his temple.

12Against the walls of Babylon, lift up a signal; strengthen the watch; station watchmen; prepare the ambushes. For Yahweh has both planned and done what he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.

13You who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your greed.

14Yahweh of hosts has sworn by himself: Surely I will fill you with men, like locusts, and they will raise over you a shout.
