Jeremiah 51:12 in Context — Jeremiah 51
10 O SENHOR trouxe à luz nossas justiças; vinde, e contemos em Sião a obra do SENHOR nosso Deus.
11 Limpai as flechas, preparai os escudos; o SENHOR levantou o espírito dos reis da Média; pois seu pensamento é contra Babilônia para destruí-la; pois esta é vingança do SENHOR, a vingança de seu templo.
12 Levantai bandeira sobre os muros da Babilônia, reforçai a guarda, ponde vigilantes, preparai ciladas; pois assim o SENHOR tanto planejou como fez o que disse sobre os moradores de Babilônia.
13 Tu que habitas sobre muitas águas, rica em tesouros, chegou o teu fim, o limite de tua ganância.
14 O SENHOR dos exércitos jurou por si mesmo, [dizendo] : Eu te encherei de homens como de gafanhotos, que darão gritos [de guerra] contra ti.
