## Jeremiah 51:15-19 in Context (Verses 12–22 KJV)
 
 [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.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/16) When he uttereth *his* voice, *there is* a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/17) Every man is brutish by *his* knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image *is* falsehood, and *there is* no breath in them.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/18) They *are* vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/19) The portion of Jacob *is* not like them; for he *is* the former of all things: and *Israel is* the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts *is* his name.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/20) Thou *art* my battle axe *and* weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/21) And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
 
 [22 ](/kjv/jeremiah/51/22) With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
 
[Jeremiah 50](/kjv/jeremiah/50) [Jeremiah 52](/kjv/jeremiah/52)
