A Message About Babylon

50This is the word the LORD spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon and the land of the Babylonians:H1697H3068H1696H894H776H3778H3027H3414H5030 2"Announce and proclaim among the nations, lift up a banner and proclaim it; keep nothing back, but say, 'Babylon will be captured; Bel will be put to shame, Marduk filled with terror. Her images will be put to shame and her idols filled with terror.'H5046H1471H8085H5375H5251H8085H3582H559H894H3920H1078H3001H4781H2865H6091H3001H1544H2865 3A nation from the north will attack her and lay waste her land. No one will live in it; both men and animals will flee away.H6828H5927H1471H7896H776H8047H3427H5110H1980H120H929 4"In those days, at that time," declares the LORD, "the people of Israel and the people of Judah together will go in tears to seek the LORD their God.H3117H6256H5002H3068H1121H3478H935H1121H3063H3162H1980H1058H3212H1245H3068H430 5They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and bind themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.H7592H1870H6726H6440H2008H935H3867H3068H5769H1285H7911 6"My people have been lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray and caused them to roam on the mountains. They wandered over mountain and hill and forgot their own resting place.H5971H6H6629H7462H8582H7725H7726H2022H1980H2022H1389H7911H7258 7Whoever found them devoured them; their enemies said, 'We are not guilty, for they sinned against the LORD, their true pasture, the LORD, the hope of their fathers.'H4672H398H6862H559H816H2398H3068H5116H6664H3068H4723H1 8"Flee out of Babylon; leave the land of the Babylonians, and be like the goats that lead the flock.H5110H8432H894H3318H3318H776H3778H6260H6440H6629 9For I will stir up and bring against Babylon an alliance of great nations from the land of the north. They will take up their positions against her, and from the north she will be captured. Their arrows will be like skilled warriors who do not return empty-handed.H5782H5927H894H6951H1419H1471H6828H776H6186H3920H2671H1368H7919H7921H7725H7387 10So Babylonia will be plundered; all who plunder her will have their fill," declares the LORD.H3778H7998H7997H7646H5002H3068 11"Because you rejoice and are glad, you who pillage my inheritance, because you frolic like a heifer threshing grain and neigh like stallions,H8055H5937H8154H5159H6335H5697H1877H1758H6670H47 12your mother will be greatly ashamed; she who gave you birth will be disgraced. She will be the least of the nations—a wilderness, a dry land, a desert.H517H3966H954H3205H2659H319H1471H4057H6723H6160 13Because of the LORD'S anger she will not be inhabited but will be completely desolate. All who pass Babylon will be horrified and scoff because of all her wounds.H7110H3068H3427H8077H5674H894H8074H8319H4347 14"Take up your positions around Babylon, all you who draw the bow. Shoot at her! Spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the LORD.H6186H894H5439H1869H7198H3034H2550H2671H2398H3068 15Shout against her on every side! She surrenders, her towers fall, her walls are torn down. Since this is the vengeance of the LORD, take vengeance on her; do to her as she has done to others.H7321H5439H5414H3027H803H5307H2346H2040H5360H3068H5358H6213H6213 16Cut off from Babylon the sower, and the reaper with his sickle at harvest. Because of the sword of the oppressor let everyone return to his own people, let everyone flee to his own land.H3772H2232H894H8610H4038H6256H7105H6440H3238H2719H6437H376H5971H5127H376H776 17"Israel is a scattered flock that lions have chased away. The first to devour him was the king of Assyria; the last to crush his bones was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon."H3478H6340H7716H738H5080H7223H4428H804H398H314H5019H4428H894H6105 18Therefore this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "I will punish the king of Babylon and his land as I punished the king of Assyria.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H6485H4428H894H776H6485H4428H804 19But I will bring Israel back to his own pasture and he will graze on Carmel and Bashan; his appetite will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.H7725H3478H7725H5116H7462H3760H1316H5315H7646H2022H669H1568 20In those days, at that time," declares the LORD, "search will be made for Israel's guilt, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant I spare.H3117H6256H5002H3068H5771H3478H1245H2403H3063H4672H5545H7604 21"Attack the land of Merathaim and those who live in Pekod. Pursue, kill and completely destroy them," declares the LORD. "Do everything I have commanded you.H5927H776H4850H3427H6489H2717H2763H310H5002H3068H6213H6680 22The noise of battle is in the land, the noise of great destruction!H6963H4421H776H1419H7667 23How broken and shattered is the hammer of the whole earth! How desolate is Babylon among the nations!H6360H776H1438H7665H894H8047H1471 24I set a trap for you, O Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it; you were found and captured because you opposed the LORD.H3369H3920H894H3045H4672H8610H1624H3068 25The LORD has opened his arsenal and brought out the weapons of his wrath, for the Sovereign LORD Almighty has work to do in the land of the Babylonians.H3068H6605H214H3318H3627H2195H4399H136H3069H6635H776H3778 26Come against her from afar. Break open her granaries; pile her up like heaps of grain. Completely destroy her and leave her no remnant.H935H7093H6605H3965H5549H6194H2763H7611 27Kill all her young bulls; let them go down to the slaughter! Woe to them! For their day has come, the time for them to be punished.H2717H6499H3381H2874H1945H3117H935H6256H6486 28Listen to the fugitives and refugees from Babylon declaring in Zion how the LORD our God has taken vengeance, vengeance for his temple.H6963H5127H6405H776H894H5046H6726H5360H3068H430H5360H1964 29"Summon archers against Babylon, all those who draw the bow. Encamp all around her; let no one escape. Repay her for her deeds; do to her as she has done. For she has defied the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.H8085H7228H894H1869H7198H2583H5439H6413H7999H6467H6213H6213H2102H3068H6918H3478 30Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets; all her soldiers will be silenced in that day," declares the LORD.H970H5307H7339H582H4421H1826H3117H5002H3068 31"See, I am against you, O arrogant one," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty, "for your day has come, the time for you to be punished.H2087H5002H136H3069H6635H3117H935H6256H6485 32The arrogant one will stumble and fall and no one will help her up; I will kindle a fire in her towns that will consume all who are around her."H2087H3782H5307H6965H3341H784H5892H398H5439 33This is what the LORD Almighty says: "The people of Israel are oppressed, and the people of Judah as well. All their captors hold them fast, refusing to let them go.H559H3068H6635H1121H3478H1121H3063H6231H3162H7617H2388H3985H7971 34Yet their Redeemer is strong; the LORD Almighty is his name. He will vigorously defend their cause so that he may bring rest to their land, but unrest to those who live in Babylon.H1350H2389H3068H6635H8034H7378H7378H7379H7280H776H7264H3427H894 35"A sword against the Babylonians!" declares the LORD—"against those who live in Babylon and against her officials and wise men!H2719H3778H5002H3068H3427H894H8269H2450 36A sword against her false prophets! They will become fools. A sword against her warriors! They will be filled with terror.H2719H907H2973H2719H1368H2865 37A sword against her horses and chariots and all the foreigners in her ranks! They will become women. A sword against her treasures! They will be plundered.H2719H5483H7393H6153H8432H802H2719H214H962 38A drought on her waters! They will dry up. For it is a land of idols, idols that will go mad with terror.H2721H4325H3001H776H6456H1984H367 39"So desert creatures and hyenas will live there, and there the owl will dwell. It will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation.H6728H338H3427H1323H3284H3427H3427H5331H7931H1755H1755 40As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah along with their neighboring towns," declares the LORD, "so no one will live there; no man will dwell in it.H430H4114H5467H6017H7934H5002H3068H376H3427H1121H120H1481 41"Look! An army is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are being stirred up from the ends of the earth.H5971H935H6828H1419H1471H7227H4428H5782H3411H776 42They are armed with bows and spears; they are cruel and without mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you, O Daughter of Babylon.H2388H7198H3591H394H7355H6963H1993H3220H7392H5483H6186H376H4421H1323H894 43The king of Babylon has heard reports about them, and his hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped him, pain like that of a woman in labor.H4428H894H8085H8088H3027H7503H6869H2388H2427H3205 44Like a lion coming up from Jordan's thickets to a rich pastureland, I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? Who is like me and who can challenge me? And what shepherd can stand against me?"H5927H738H1347H3383H5116H386H7323H7280H7323H7323H977H6485H3259H7462H5975H6440 45Therefore, hear what the LORD has planned against Babylon, what he has purposed against the land of the Babylonians: The young of the flock will be dragged away; he will completely destroy their pasture because of them.H8085H6098H3068H3289H894H4284H2803H776H3778H6810H6629H5498H5116H8074 46At the sound of Babylon's capture the earth will tremble; its cry will resound among the nations.H6963H8610H894H776H7493H2201H8085H1471
