51:9 Foreigners living there will say,
‘We tried to heal her, but she could not be healed.
Let’s leave Babylonia
For judgment on her will be vast in its proportions.
It will be like it is piled up to heaven, stacked up into the clouds.’
51:10 The exiles from Judah will say,
‘The Lord has brought about a great deliverance for us!
Come on, let’s go and proclaim in Zion
what the Lord our God has done!’
51:11 “Sharpen
Fill your quivers!
The Lord will arouse a spirit of hostility in
For he intends to destroy Babylonia.
For that is how the Lord will get his revenge –
how he will get his revenge for the Babylonians’ destruction of his temple.
