Jeremiah 51:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰The Lord got even for us.
Come, let’s tell about that in Zion.
Let’s tell what the Lord our God has done.

¹¹Sharpen the arrows!
    Get your shields!
The Lord has stirred up the kings of the Medes
    because he wants to destroy Babylon.
The army from Babylon destroyed his Temple in Jerusalem,
    so he will give them the punishment they deserve.
¹²Lift up a flag against the walls of Babylon.
    Bring more guards.
Put the watchmen in their places.
    Get ready for a secret attack.
The Lord will do what he has planned.
    He will do what he said he would do against the people of Babylon.
