Jeremiah 51:12-16

New American Standard Bible

^12 (A)Lift up a signal flag against the walls of Babylon;
Post a strong guard,
Station ^[a]sentries,
Set up an ambush!
For the Lord has both ^(B)planned and performed
What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
¹³ You who ^(C)live by many waters,
Abundant in ^(D)treasures,
Your end has come,
The ^[b]measure of your ^[c](E)end.
¹⁴ The ^(F)Lord of armies has sworn by Himself:
“I will certainly fill you with a ^[d]population like ^(G)locusts,
And they will cry out with shouts of victory over you.”

¹⁵ It is ^(H)He who made the earth by His power,
Who established the world by His wisdom,
And by His understanding He ^(I)stretched out the heavens.
¹⁶ When He utters His ^(J)voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens,
And He makes the ^(K)clouds ascend from the end of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
And brings out ^(L)wind from His storehouses.
