50The word the LORD spoke about Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, through Jeremiah the prophet:H1697H3068H1696H894H776H3778H3027H3414H5030
2Announce to the nations; proclaim and raise up a signal flag; proclaim, and hide nothing. Say: Babylon is captured; Bel is put to shame; Marduk is devastated; her idols are put to shame; her false gods, devastated.H5046H1471H8085H5375H5251H8085H3582H559H894H3920H1078H3001H4781H2865H6091H3001H1544H2865
3For a nation from the north will come against her; it will make her land desolate. No one will be living in it— both man and beast will escape.H6828H5927H1471H7896H776H8047H3427H5110H1980H120H929
4In those days and at that time— [this is] the LORD's declaration— the Israelites and Judeans will come together, weeping as they come, and will seek the LORD their God.H3117H6256H5002H3068H1121H3478H935H1121H3063H3162H1980H1058H3212H1245H3068H430
5They will ask about Zion, [turning] their faces to this road. They will come and join themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.H7592H1870H6726H6440H2008H935H3867H3068H5769H1285H7911
6My people are lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray, guiding them the wrong way in the mountains. They have wandered from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.H5971H6H6629H7462H8582H7725H7726H2022H1980H2022H1389H7911H7258
7All who found them devoured them. Their adversaries said: We're not guilty; instead, they have sinned against the LORD, their righteous grazing land, the hope of their ancestors, the LORD.H4672H398H6862H559H816H2398H3068H5116H6664H3068H4723H1
8Escape from Babylon; depart from the Chaldeans' land. Be like the rams that lead the flock.H5110H8432H894H3318H3318H776H3778H6260H6440H6629
9For I will soon stir up and bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country. They will line up in battle formation against her; from there she will be captured. Their arrows will be like those of a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.H5782H5927H894H6951H1419H1471H6828H776H6186H3920H2671H1368H7919H7921H7725H7387
10The Chaldeans will become plunder; all her plunderers will be fully satisfied. [This is] the LORD's declaration.H3778H7998H7997H7646H5002H3068
11Because you rejoice, because you sing in triumph— you who plundered My inheritance— because you frolic like a young cow treading grain and neigh like stallions,H8055H5937H8154H5159H6335H5697H1877H1758H6670H47
12your mother will be utterly humiliated; she who bore you will be put to shame. Look! She will lag behind all the nations— a dry land, a wilderness, an Arabah.H517H3966H954H3205H2659H319H1471H4057H6723H6160
13Because of the LORD's wrath, she will not be inhabited; she will become a desolation, every bit of her. Everyone who passes through Babylon will be horrified and scoff because of all her wounds.H7110H3068H3427H8077H5674H894H8074H8319H4347
14Line up in battle formation around Babylon, all you archers! Shoot at her! Do not spare an arrow, for she has sinned against the LORD.H6186H894H5439H1869H7198H3034H2550H2671H2398H3068
15Raise a war cry against her on every side! She has thrown up her hands [in surrender]; her defense towers have fallen; her walls are demolished. Since this is the LORD's vengeance, take out your vengeance on her; as she has done, do the same to her.H7321H5439H5414H3027H803H5307H2346H2040H5360H3068H5358H6213H6213
16Cut off the sower from Babylon as well as him who wields the sickle at harvest time. Because of the oppressor's sword, each will turn to his own people, each will flee to his own land.H3772H2232H894H8610H4038H6256H7105H6440H3238H2719H6437H376H5971H5127H376H776
17Israel is a stray lamb, chased by lions. The first who devoured him was the king of Assyria; this last who has crunched his bones was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.H3478H6340H7716H738H5080H7223H4428H804H398H314H5019H4428H894H6105
18Therefore, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: "I am about to punish the king of Babylon and his land just as I punished the king of Assyria.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H6485H4428H894H776H6485H4428H804
19I will return Israel to his grazing land, and he will feed on Carmel and Bashan; he will be satisfied in the hill country of Ephraim and of Gilead.H7725H3478H7725H5116H7462H3760H1316H5315H7646H2022H669H1568
20In those days and at that time— [this is] the LORD's declaration— one will search for Israel's guilt, but there will be none, and for Judah's sins, but they will not be found, for I will forgive those I leave as a remnant.H3117H6256H5002H3068H5771H3478H1245H2403H3063H4672H5545H7604
21Go against the land of Merathaim, and against those living in Pekod. Put them to the sword; completely destroy them— [this is] the LORD's declaration— do everything I have commanded you.H5927H776H4850H3427H6489H2717H2763H310H5002H3068H6213H6680
22The sound of war is in the land— a great destruction.H6963H4421H776H1419H7667
23How the hammer of the whole earth is cut down and smashed! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!H6360H776H1438H7665H894H8047H1471
24Babylon, I laid a trap for you, and you were caught, but you did not even know it. You were found and captured because you fought against the LORD.H3369H3920H894H3045H4672H8610H1624H3068
25The LORD opened His armory and brought out His weapons of wrath, because it is a task of the Lord God of Hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.H3068H6605H214H3318H3627H2195H4399H136H3069H6635H776H3778
26Come against her from the most distant places. Open her granaries; pile her up like mounds of grain and completely destroy her. Leave her no survivors.H935H7093H6605H3965H5549H6194H2763H7611
27Put all her young bulls to the sword; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, because their day has come, the time of their punishment.H2717H6499H3381H2874H1945H3117H935H6256H6486
28[There is] a voice of fugitives and escapees from the land of Babylon announcing in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance for His temple.H6963H5127H6405H776H894H5046H6726H5360H3068H430H5360H1964
29Summon the archers to Babylon, all who string the bow; camp all around her; let none escape. Repay her according to her deeds; just as she has done, do the same to her, for she has acted arrogantly against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.H8085H7228H894H1869H7198H2583H5439H6413H7999H6467H6213H6213H2102H3068H6918H3478
30Therefore, her young men will fall in her public squares; all the warriors will be silenced in that day. [This is] the LORD's declaration.H970H5307H7339H582H4421H1826H3117H5002H3068
31Look, I am against you, you arrogant one— [this is] the declaration of the Lord God of Hosts— because your day has come, the time when I will punish you.H2087H5002H136H3069H6635H3117H935H6256H6485
32The arrogant will stumble and fall with no one to pick him up. I will set fire to his cities, and it will consume everything around him."H2087H3782H5307H6965H3341H784H5892H398H5439
33This is what the LORD of Hosts says: Israelites and Judeans alike have been oppressed. All their captors hold them fast; they refuse to release them.H559H3068H6635H1121H3478H1121H3063H6231H3162H7617H2388H3985H7971
34Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of Hosts is His name. He will fervently plead their case so that He might bring rest to the earth but turmoil to those who live in Babylon.H1350H2389H3068H6635H8034H7378H7378H7379H7280H776H7264H3427H894
35A sword is over the Chaldeans— [this is] the LORD's declaration— against those who live in Babylon, against her officials, and against her sages.H2719H3778H5002H3068H3427H894H8269H2450
36A sword is against the diviners, and they will act foolishly. A sword is against her heroic warriors, and they will be terrified.H2719H907H2973H2719H1368H2865
37A sword is against his horses and chariots and against all the foreigners among them, and they will be like women. A sword is against her treasuries, and they will be plundered.H2719H5483H7393H6153H8432H802H2719H214H962
38A drought will come on her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is a land of carved images, and they go mad because of terrifying things.H2721H4325H3001H776H6456H1984H367
39Therefore, desert creatures will live with jackals, and ostriches will also live in her. It will never again be inhabited or lived in through all generations.H6728H338H3427H1323H3284H3427H3427H5331H7931H1755H1755
40Just as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns— [this is] the LORD's declaration— so no one will live there; no human being will even stay in it as a resident alien.H430H4114H5467H6017H7934H5002H3068H376H3427H1121H120H1481
41Look! A people comes from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the remote regions of the earth.H5971H935H6828H1419H1471H7227H4428H5782H3411H776
42They grasp bow and javelin. They are cruel and show no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, lined up like men in battle formation against you, Daughter of Babylon.H2388H7198H3591H394H7355H6963H1993H3220H7392H5483H6186H376H4421H1323H894
43The king of Babylon has heard reports about them, and his hands fall helpless. Distress has seized him— pain, like a woman in labor.H4428H894H8085H8088H3027H7503H6869H2388H2427H3205
44"Look, it will be like a lion coming up from the thickets of the Jordan to the perennially watered grazing land. Indeed, I will chase Babylon away from her [land] in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like Me? Who will summon Me? Who is the shepherd who can stand against Me?"H5927H738H1347H3383H5116H386H7323H7280H7323H7323H977H6485H3259H7462H5975H6440
45Therefore, hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Babylon and the strategies He has devised against the land of the Chaldeans: Certainly the flock's little lambs will be dragged away; certainly the grazing land will be made desolate because of them.H8085H6098H3068H3289H894H4284H2803H776H3778H6810H6629H5498H5116H8074
46At the sound of Babylon's conquest the earth will quake; a cry will be heard among the nations.H6963H8610H894H776H7493H2201H8085H1471
