8Babylon will suddenly fall and be shattered. Cry for it. Bring medicine for its pain. Maybe it can be healed. 9We wanted to heal Babylon, but it couldn’t be healed. Let’s abandon it and go to our own land. God has judged Babylon. Its judgment is complete. The Lord has brought about our victory. Let’s announce in Zion what the Lord our God has done. 11Sharpen the arrows; fill the quivers. The Lord will stir up the spirit of the kings of the Medes because his plan is to destroy Babylon. The Lord will avenge his temple. 12Raise your battle flag in front of the walls of Babylon. Strengthen the guards. Station watchmen. Prepare ambushes. The Lord will carry out his plans against the people who live in Babylon.
