Jeremiah 51:11

11¶Sharpen the arrows, take up the shields [and cover yourselves]!

The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the 51:11 Perhaps a reference to the conquest of Babylon by the Medes and the Persians in 539 b.c.Medes,

Because His purpose concerning Babylon is to destroy it;

For that is the vengeance of the Lord, vengeance [on Babylon] for [plundering and destroying] His temple.
