Context of Jeremiah 51:10
8Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken. Wail over her! Get balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed. 9“ ‘We would have healed Babylon, but she cannot be healed; let us leave her and each go to our own land, for her judgment reaches to the skies, it rises as high as the heavens.’ “ ‘The Lord has vindicated us; come, let us tell in Zion what the Lord our God has done.’ 11“Sharpen the arrows, take up the shields! The Lord has stirred up the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is to destroy Babylon. The Lord will take vengeance, vengeance for his temple. 12Lift up a banner against the walls of Babylon! Reinforce the guard, station the watchmen, prepare an ambush! The Lord will carry out his purpose, his decree against the people of Babylon.
