Jeremiah 51:11
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.
KJV
Acuite sagittas, implete pharetras : suscitavit Dominus spiritum regum Medorum : et contra Babylonem mens ejus est ut perdat eam, quoniam ultio Domini est, ultio templi sui.
Vulgate
διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐφίστημι τὸ πρόσωπόν μου
LXX
Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
