## Jeremiah 51:11-12 in Context (Verses 8–15 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/8) Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/9) We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up *even* to the skies.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/10) The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/11) Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device *is* against Babylon, to destroy it; because it *is* the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/12) Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.*
 
 [13 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/13) O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, *and* the measure of thy covetousness.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/14) The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, *saying*, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.**
 
 [15 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/15) He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
 
[Jeremiah 50](/kjv/jeremiah/50) [Jeremiah 52](/kjv/jeremiah/52)
