50This is the word that the Lord spoke through the prophet Jeremiah about Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans.H1697H3068H1696H894H776H3778H3027H3414H5030
2"Declare and proclaim among the nations. Lift up a banner and proclaim. Don't conceal anything. Say, 'Babylon will be captured. Bel will be disgraced, and Marduk will be destroyed. Her idols will be disgraced, and her filthy images will be destroyed.'H5046H1471H8085H5375H5251H8085H3582H559H894H3920H1078H3001H4781H2865H6091H3001H1544H2865
3For a nation from the north will go up against her. It will make her land into an object of horror, and no one will live in it. Both people and animals will wander off, and they'll leave.H6828H5927H1471H7896H776H8047H3427H5110H1980H120H929
4In those days, and at that time," declares the Lord, "the people of Israel will come together with the people of Judah. They'll be weeping as they travel along, and they'll be seeking the Lord their God.H3117H6256H5002H3068H1121H3478H935H1121H3063H3162H1980H1058H3212H1245H3068H430
5They'll ask the way to Zion, turning their faces in that direction. They'll come and join themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that won't be forgotten.H7592H1870H6726H6440H2008H935H3867H3068H5769H1285H7911
6My people have become lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray, turning them toward the mountains. They go from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting place.H5971H6H6629H7462H8582H7725H7726H2022H1980H2022H1389H7911H7258
7All who find them devour them, but their enemies say, 'We're not guilty, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of righteousness, the Lord, the hope of their ancestors.'H4672H398H6862H559H816H2398H3068H5116H6664H3068H4723H1
8Move away from the middle of Babylon, and go out of the land of the Chaldeans. Be like male goats at the head of the flock.H5110H8432H894H3318H3318H776H3778H6260H6440H6629
9Indeed, I'm going to stir up and bring against Babylon a great company of nations from the land of the north. They'll deploy for battle against her, and from there she will be captured. Their arrows will be like a skilled warrior; they won't miss their targets.H5782H5927H894H6951H1419H1471H6828H776H6186H3920H2671H1368H7919H7921H7725H7387
10The Chaldeans will become plunder, and all who plunder them will get more than enough," declares the Lord.H3778H7998H7997H7646H5002H3068
11"Though you rejoice, though you exult, you plunderers of my inheritance, though you skip around like a heifer in the grass and neigh like stallions,H8055H5937H8154H5159H6335H5697H1877H1758H6670H47
12Your mother will be greatly devastated, she who gave birth to you will be ashamed. She will become the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.H517H3966H954H3205H2659H319H1471H4057H6723H6160
13Because of the anger of the Lord she won't be inhabited, but will be utterly devastated. Everyone who passes by Babylon will be horrified and will scoff because of all her wounds.H7110H3068H3427H8077H5674H894H8074H8319H4347
14Deploy the troops all around Babylon. All who bend the bow, shoot at her and spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the Lord.H6186H894H5439H1869H7198H3034H2550H2671H2398H3068
15Raise a battle cry against her on every side. She has surrendered, her pillars have fallen, her walls are thrown down. For this is the vengeance of the Lord. Take vengeance on her; as she has done, do to her.H7321H5439H5414H3027H803H5307H2346H2040H5360H3068H5358H6213H6213
16Eliminate from Babylon the one who plants seeds and the one who uses the sickle at harvest time. Because of the oppressor's sword, let each one turn toward his own people and flee to his own land.H3772H2232H894H8610H4038H6256H7105H6440H3238H2719H6437H376H5971H5127H376H776
17"Israel is a scattered flock, driven out by lions. The first to devour him was the king of Assyria, and then afterward King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon gnawed his bones.H3478H6340H7716H738H5080H7223H4428H804H398H314H5019H4428H894H6105
18Therefore this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: 'Look, I'm about to judge the king of Babylon and his land, just as I've judged the king of Assyria.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H6485H4428H894H776H6485H4428H804
19I'll bring Israel back to his pasture. He will graze on Carmel, on Bashan, on Mt. Ephraim, and on Gilead - his hunger will be satisfied.H7725H3478H7725H5116H7462H3760H1316H5315H7646H2022H669H1568
20In those days and at that time,' declares the Lord, 'the iniquity of Israel will be searched for, but there will be none; and the sin of Judah, but none will be found, because I'll pardon those I leave as a remnant.'"H3117H6256H5002H3068H5771H3478H1245H2403H3063H4672H5545H7604
21"Go up against the land of Merathaim and the inhabitants of Pekod. Kill them with swords, and completely destroy them," declares the Lord, "and do everything that I've commanded you.H5927H776H4850H3427H6489H2717H2763H310H5002H3068H6213H6680
22The noise of battle is in the land, and great destruction.H6963H4421H776H1419H7667
23How the hammer of all the earth is cut off and broken! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations!H6360H776H1438H7665H894H8047H1471
24I'll set a trap for you, and you will be caught, Babylon, but you don't realize it. You will be found and also seized, because you challenged the Lord!"H3369H3920H894H3045H4672H8610H1624H3068
25The Lord will open his armory, and bring out the weapons of his anger. Indeed, a work of the Lord GOD of the Heavenly Armies will be in the land of the Chaldeans.H3068H6605H214H3318H3627H2195H4399H136H3069H6635H776H3778
26"Come to her from afar. Open up her barns. Pile her up like heaps of grain, and completely destroy her. Don't leave any survivors.H935H7093H6605H3965H5549H6194H2763H7611
27"Put all her bulls to the sword, let them go down to the slaughter. How terrible for them because their day has come, the time of their judgment.H2717H6499H3381H2874H1945H3117H935H6256H6486
28"The sound of fugitives and refugees will come from the land of Babylon to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, vengeance for his temple.H6963H5127H6405H776H894H5046H6726H5360H3068H430H5360H1964
29"Summon many to Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Camp all around her, let no one escape. Repay her according to her deeds. Do to her just as she has done. For she has behaved arrogantly against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.H8085H7228H894H1869H7198H2583H5439H6413H7999H6467H6213H6213H2102H3068H6918H3478
30Therefore, her warriors will fall in her streets, and all her soldiers will be silenced on that day," declares the Lord.H970H5307H7339H582H4421H1826H3117H5002H3068
31Look, I'm against you, arrogant one," declares the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies. "Indeed your day is coming, the time of your judgment.H2087H5002H136H3069H6635H3117H935H6256H6485
32The arrogant one will stumble and fall, and there will be no one to lift him up. I'll set fire to his cities, and it will devour everything around him."H2087H3782H5307H6965H3341H784H5892H398H5439
33This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: "The people of Israel are oppressed, along with the people of Judah. All their captors have held on to them and refused to let them go.H559H3068H6635H1121H3478H1121H3063H6231H3162H7617H2388H3985H7971
34Their Redeemer is strong, the Lord of the Heavenly Armies is his name. He will vigorously plead their case in order to bring rest to the earth, but turmoil to the inhabitants of Babylon.H1350H2389H3068H6635H8034H7378H7378H7379H7280H776H7264H3427H894
35A sword against the Chaldeans," declares the Lord, "and against the inhabitants of Babylon, against her officials and her wise men.H2719H3778H5002H3068H3427H894H8269H2450
36A sword against the diviners. They'll be made fools. A sword against her warriors. They'll be shattered.H2719H907H2973H2719H1368H2865
37A sword against her horses, against her chariots, and against all the foreign troops in her midst. They'll become women. A sword against her treasures. They'll be plundered.H2719H5483H7393H6153H8432H802H2719H214H962
38A drought against her waters. They'll dry up. For it's a land of idols, and they go mad over their terrifying images.H2721H4325H3001H776H6456H1984H367
39Therefore the desert creatures along with hyenas will live there. They'll live in it with ostriches, but people won't live in it again. They won't inhabit it from generation to generation.H6728H338H3427H1323H3284H3427H3427H5331H7931H1755H1755
40Just as when God overthrew Sodom, Gomorrah, and their neighbors," declares the Lord, "so also no one will live there. No human being will reside in it."H430H4114H5467H6017H7934H5002H3068H376H3427H1121H120H1481
41"Look, people are coming from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the ends of the earth.H5971H935H6828H1419H1471H7227H4428H5782H3411H776
42They grab bow and spear. They're cruel and show no mercy. Their sound roars like the sea, as they ride on horses deployed like men ready for battle against you, daughter of Babylon.H2388H7198H3591H394H7355H6963H1993H3220H7392H5483H6186H376H4421H1323H894
43The king of Babylon has heard the news about them, and his hands hang limp. Distress has seized him, like a woman in labor.H4428H894H8085H8088H3027H7503H6869H2388H2427H3205
44"Look, like a lion comes up from the thicket of the Jordan to a pasture that grows year round, so I'll drive them away from her in an instant, and I'll appoint whomever is chosen over her. Indeed, who is like me?Who gives me counsel?Who is the shepherd who will stand against me?H5927H738H1347H3383H5116H386H7323H7280H7323H7323H977H6485H3259H7462H5975H6440
45Therefore, hear the plan that the Lord has made against Babylon, and the strategy that he devised against the land of the Chaldeans. Surely they'll drag the little ones of the flock away. Surely their pasture will be desolate because of them.H8085H6098H3068H3289H894H4284H2803H776H3778H6810H6629H5498H5116H8074
46At the shout that Babylon has been seized, the earth will be shaken, and the cry will be heard among the nations.H6963H8610H894H776H7493H2201H8085H1471
