Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.

The verse 12 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. God announces Babylon’s destruction through images of destructive wind, threshing, and judgment. In contrast, Israel and Judah are called to remember the Creator of all things. True security is not found in the empire or its gods, but in Yahweh, who made the earth and can bring down what appears invincible.

Ja, steckt nun Panier auf die Mauern zu Babel, nehmt die Wache ein, setzt Wächter, bestellt die Hut! denn der HERR gedenkt etwas und wird auch tun, was er wider die Einwohner zu Babel geredet hat.
Levantad bandera sobre los muros de Babilonia, reforzad la guardia, poned centinelas, disponed celadas; porque deliberó Jehová, y aun pondrá en efecto lo que ha dicho sobre los moradores de Babilonia.
¡Levanten una bandera contra las murallas de Babilonia! ¡Refuercen la guardia, pongan centinelas y preparen emboscadas! Porque Jehová ha decidido y cumplirá lo que anunció contra los habitantes de Babilonia.
Elevez une bannière contre les murs de Babylone! Fortifiez les postes, placez des gardes, dressez des embuscades! Car l'Eternel a pris une résolution, Et il exécute ce qu'il a prononcé contre les habitants de Babylone.
Alzate pur la bandiera sopra le mura di Babilonia, rinforzate la guernigione, ponete le guardie, ordinate gli agguati; perciocchè il Signore ha presa una deliberazione, ed anche ha eseguito ciò ch’egli ha detto contro agli abitanti di Babilonia.
Arvorai um estandarte sobre os muros de Babilônia, reforçai a guarda, colocai sentinelas, preparai as ciladas; porque como o SENHOR intentou, assim fez o que tinha falado contra os moradores de Babilônia.
你們要豎立大旗, 攻擊 巴比倫 的城牆; 要堅固瞭望臺, 派定守望的設下埋伏; 因為耶和華指著 巴比倫 居民所說的, 他不但這樣定意,也已成就。
