Context of Jeremiah 51:10
8But now Babylon will quickly fall. An enemy will destroy it, so weep for it! Find some medicine that will make its wounds better. Perhaps it will become well again. 9The foreign people in Babylon say, “We tried to make its wounds better, but it was not possible to do it. Now we must leave it. We must each go back to our own country. Its punishment will have no end. It will reach as high as the sky!” The people from Judah who are in Babylon say, “The Lord has shown that we are his people. Now we must go to Jerusalem. We must tell people in Zion about how the Lord our God has helped us.” ’ 11‘Make your arrows sharp! Prepare your weapons! The Lord has caused Media's kings to prepare for war. He will use them to destroy Babylon. The Lord will punish the people of Babylonia because they destroyed his temple. 12Wave a flag and prepare to attack Babylon's city walls! Bring plenty of guards to watch all around the city. Put soldiers to catch anyone who tries to escape. Yes, the Lord will now do everything that he has decided. He will punish Babylon's people, as he said he would do.
