Context Reading
12Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon!Make the watch strong!Set the watchmen,and prepare the ambushes;for Yahweh has both purposed and donethat which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. 13You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures,your end has come, the measure of your covetousness. 14Yahweh of Armies has sworn by himself, saying,‘Surely I will fill you with men,as with locusts,and they will lift up a shout against you.’ 15“He has made the earth by his power.He has established the world by his wisdom.By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens. 16When he utters his voice,there is a roar of waters in the heavens,and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.He makes lightning for the rain,and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
