Jeremiah51:11
11 Make bright the arrows , gather the shields , the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes , for his device is against Babylon to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple .
Prepare the Arrows for fighting, whether by feathering, sharpning▪ or polishing and cleansing of them, is not much material.
You that are Chaldeans gather all the Shields you have together, you will have need of them all: or you that are the Enemies of the Chaldeans, gather you together your Shields.
For God hath put a Spirit into Cyrus and Darius, &c. and his design is against Babylon to destroy it.
It is a day in which God is resolved to take vengeance on Babylon, to take vengeance for the indignities they have offered to, and the horrible profanation of his Temple.
