51Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I am going to arouse against Babylon And against the inhabitants of Leb-kamai The spirit of a destroyer.H559H3068H5782H894H3427H3820H6965H7843H7307 2"And I shall dispatch foreigners to Babylon that they may winnow her And may devastate her land; For on every side they will be opposed to her In the day of [her] calamity.H7971H894H2114H2219H1238H776H3117H7451H5439 3"Let not him who bends his bow bend [it,] Nor let him rise up in his scale-armor; So do not spare her young men; Devote all her army to destruction.H1869H1869H1869H7198H5927H5630H2550H970H2763H6635 4"And they will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, And pierced through in their streets."H2491H5307H776H3778H1856H2351 5For neither Israel nor Judah has been forsaken By his God, the LORD of hosts, Although their land is full of guilt Before the Holy One of Israel.H3478H488H3063H430H3068H6635H776H4390H817H6918H3478 6Flee from the midst of Babylon, And each of you save his life! Do not be destroyed in her punishment, For this is the Lord's time of vengeance; He is going to render recompense to her.H5127H8432H894H4422H376H5315H1826H5771H6256H3068H5360H7999H1576 7Babylon has been a golden cup in the hand of the LORD, Intoxicating all the earth. The nations have drunk of her wine; Therefore the nations are going mad.H894H2091H3563H3068H3027H776H7937H1471H8354H3196H1471H1984 8Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken; Wail over her! Bring balm for her pain; Perhaps she may be healed.H894H6597H5307H7665H3213H3947H6875H4341H7495 9We applied healing to Babylon, but she was not healed; Forsake her and let us each go to his own country, For her judgment has reached to heaven And towers up to the very skies.H7495H894H7495H5800H3212H376H776H4941H5060H8064H5375H7834 10The LORD has brought about our vindication; Come and let us recount in Zion The work of the LORD our God!H3068H3318H6666H935H5608H6726H4639H3068H430 11Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers! The LORD has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, Because His purpose is against Babylon to destroy it; For it is the vengeance of the LORD, vengeance for His temple.H1305H2671H4390H7982H3068H5782H7307H4428H4074H4209H894H7843H5360H3068H5360H1964 12Lift up a signal against the walls of Babylon; Post a strong guard, Station sentries, Place men in ambush! For the LORD has both purposed and performed What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.H5375H5251H2346H894H4929H2388H6965H8104H3559H693H3068H2161H6213H1696H3427H894 13O you who dwell by many waters, Abundant in treasures, Your end has come, The measure of your end.H7931H7931H7227H4325H7227H214H7093H935H520H1215 14The LORD of hosts has sworn by Himself: "Surely I will fill you with a population like locusts, And they will cry out with shouts of victory over you."H3068H6635H7650H5315H4390H120H3218H6030H1959 15[It is] He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom, And by His understanding He stretched out the heavens.H6213H776H3581H3559H8398H2451H5186H8064H8394 16When He utters His voice, [there is] a tumult of waters in the heavens, And He causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain, And brings forth the wind from His storehouses.H5414H6963H1995H4325H8064H5387H5927H7097H776H6213H1300H4306H3318H7307H214 17All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, For his molten images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them.H120H1197H1847H6884H3001H6459H5262H8267H7307 18They are worthless, a work of mockery; In the time of their punishment they will perish.H1892H4639H8595H6256H6486H6 19The portion of Jacob is not like these; For the Maker of all is He, And of the tribe of His inheritance; The LORD of hosts is His name.H2506H3290H3335H7626H5159H3068H6635H8034 20[He says,] "You are My war-club, [My] weapon of war; And with you I shatter nations, And with you I destroy kingdoms.H4661H3627H4421H5310H1471H7843H4467 21"And with you I shatter the horse and his rider,H5310H5483H7392H5310H7393H7392 22And with you I shatter the chariot and its rider, And with you I shatter man and woman, And with you I shatter old man and youth, And with you I shatter young man and virgin,H5310H376H802H5310H2205H5288H5310H970H1330 23And with you I shatter the shepherd and his flock, And with you I shatter the farmer and his team, And with you I shatter governors and prefects.H5310H7462H5739H5310H406H6776H5310H6346H5461 24"But I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes," declares the LORD.H7999H894H3427H3778H7451H6213H6726H5869H5002H3068 25"Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, Who destroys the whole earth," declares the LORD, "And I will stretch out My hand against you, And roll you down from the crags And I will make you a burnt out mountain.H4889H2022H5002H3068H7843H776H5186H3027H1556H5553H5414H8316H2022 26"And they will not take from you [even] a stone for a corner Nor a stone for foundations, But you will be desolate forever," declares the LORD.H3947H68H6438H68H4146H8077H5769H5002H3068 27Lift up a signal in the land, Blow a trumpet among the nations! Consecrate the nations against her, Summon against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz; Appoint a marshal against her, Bring up the horses like bristly locusts.H5375H5251H776H8628H7782H1471H6942H1471H8085H4467H780H4508H813H6485H2951H5483H5927H5569H3218 28Consecrate the nations against her, The kings of the Medes, Their governors and all their prefects, And every land of their dominion.H6942H1471H4428H4074H6346H5461H776H4475 29So the land quakes and writhes, For the purposes of the LORD against Babylon stand, To make the land of Babylon A desolation without inhabitants.H776H7493H2342H4284H3068H6965H894H7760H776H894H8047H3427 30The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting, They stay in the strongholds; Their strength is exhausted, They are becoming [like] women; Their dwelling places are set on fire, The bars of her [gates] are broken.H1368H894H2308H3898H3427H4679H1369H5405H802H3341H4908H1280H7665 31One courier runs to meet another, And one messenger to meet another, To tell the king of Babylon That his city has been captured from end [to end;]H7323H7323H7125H7323H5046H7125H5046H5046H4428H894H5892H3920H7097 32The fords also have been seized, And they have burned the marshes with fire, And the men of war are terrified.H4569H8610H98H8313H784H582H4421H926 33For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor At the time it is stamped firm; Yet in a little while the time of harvest will come for her."H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1323H894H1637H6256H1869H4592H6256H7105H935 34"Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me [and] crushed me, He has set me down [like] an empty vessel; He has swallowed me like a monster, He has filled his stomach with my delicacies; He has washed me away.H5019H4428H894H398H2000H3322H7385H3627H1104H8577H4390H3770H5730H1740 35"May the violence [done] to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon," The inhabitant of Zion will say; And, "May my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea," Jerusalem will say.H2555H7607H894H3427H6726H559H1818H3427H3778H3389H559 36Therefore thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am going to plead your case And exact full vengeance for you; And I shall dry up her sea And make her fountain dry.H559H3068H7378H7379H5358H5360H2717H3220H4726H3001 37"And Babylon will become a heap [of ruins,] a haunt of jackals, An object of horror and hissing, without inhabitants.H894H1530H4583H8577H8047H8322H3427 38"They will roar together like young lions, They will growl like lions' cubs.H7580H3162H3715H5286H738H1484 39"When they become heated up, I shall serve [them] their banquet And make them drunk, that they may become jubilant And may sleep a perpetual sleep And not wake up," declares the LORD.H2527H7896H4960H7937H5937H3462H5769H8142H6974H5002H3068 40"I shall bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, Like rams together with male goats.H3381H3733H2873H352H6260 41"How Sheshak has been captured, And the praise of the whole earth been seized! How Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations!H8347H3920H8416H776H8610H894H8047H1471 42"The sea has come up over Babylon; She has been engulfed with its tumultuous waves.H3220H5927H894H3680H1995H1530 43"Her cities have become an object of horror, A parched land and a desert, A land in which no man lives, And through which no son of man passes.H5892H8047H6723H776H6160H776H376H3427H1121H120H5674H2004 44"And I shall punish Bel in Babylon, And I shall make what he has swallowed come out of his mouth; And the nations will no longer stream to him. Even the wall of Babylon has fallen down!H6485H1078H894H3318H6310H1105H1471H5102H2346H894H5307 45"Come forth from her midst, My people, And each of you save yourselves From the fierce anger of the LORD.H5971H3318H8432H4422H376H5315H2740H639H3068 46"Now lest your heart grow faint, And you be afraid at the report that [will be] heard in the land— For the report will come one year, And after that another report in another year, And violence [will be] in the land With ruler against ruler—H3824H7401H3372H8052H8085H776H8052H935H8141H310H8141H8052H2555H776H4910H4910 47Therefore behold, days are coming When I shall punish the idols of Babylon; And her whole land will be put to shame, And all her slain will fall in her midst.H3117H935H6485H6456H894H776H954H2491H5307H8432 48"Then heaven and earth and all that is in them Will shout for joy over Babylon, For the destroyers will come to her from the north," Declares the LORD.H8064H776H7442H894H7703H935H6828H5002H3068 49Indeed Babylon is to fall [for] the slain of Israel, [As] also for Babylon the slain of all the earth have fallen.H1571H894H2491H3478H5307H894H5307H2491H776 50You who have escaped the sword, Depart! Do not stay! Remember the LORD from afar, And let Jerusalem come to your mind.H6405H2719H1980H5975H2142H3068H7350H3389H5927H3824 51We are ashamed because we have heard reproach; Disgrace has covered our faces, For aliens have entered The holy places of the Lord's house.H954H8085H2781H3639H3680H6440H2114H935H4720H3068H1004 52"Therefore behold, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "When I shall punish her idols, And the mortally wounded will groan throughout her land.H3117H935H5002H3068H6485H6456H776H2491H602 53"Though Babylon should ascend to the heavens, And though she should fortify her lofty stronghold, From Me destroyers will come to her," declares the LORD.H894H5927H8064H1219H4791H5797H227H7703H935H5002H3068 54The sound of an outcry from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!H6963H2201H894H1419H7667H776H3778 55For the LORD is going to destroy Babylon, And He will make [her] loud noise vanish from her. And their waves will roar like many waters; The tumult of their voices sounds forth.H3068H7703H894H6H1419H6963H1530H1993H7227H4325H7588H6963H5414 56For the destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon, And her mighty men will be captured, Their bows are shattered; For the LORD is a God of recompense, He will fully repay.H7703H935H894H1368H3920H7198H2865H3068H410H1578H7999H7999 57"And I shall make her princes and her wise men drunk, Her governors, her prefects, and her mighty men, That they may sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake up," Declares the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.H7937H8269H2450H6346H5461H1368H3462H5769H8142H6974H5002H4428H8034H3068H6635 58Thus says the LORD of hosts, "The broad wall of Babylon will be completely razed, And her high gates will be set on fire; So the peoples will toil for nothing, And the nations become exhausted [only] for fire."H559H3068H6635H7342H2346H894H6209H6209H1364H8179H3341H784H5971H3021H7385H3816H1767H784H3286 59The message which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the grandson of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. (Now Seraiah was quartermaster.)H1697H3414H5030H6680H8304H1121H5374H1121H4271H3212H6667H4428H3063H894H7243H8141H4427H8304H4496H8269 60So Jeremiah wrote in a single scroll all the calamity which would come upon Babylon, [that is,] all these words which have been written concerning Babylon.H3414H3789H259H5612H7451H935H894H1697H3789H894 61Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, "As soon as you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words aloud,H3414H559H8304H935H894H7200H7121H1697 62and say, 'Thou, O LORD, hast promised concerning this place to cut it off, so that there will be nothing dwelling in it, whether man or beast, but it will be a perpetual desolation.'H559H3068H1696H4725H3772H3427H120H929H8077H5769 63"And it will come about as soon as you finish reading this scroll, you will tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates,H3615H7121H5612H7194H68H7993H8432H6578 64and say, 'Just so shall Babylon sink down and not rise again, because of the calamity that I am going to bring upon her; and they will become exhausted.' "Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.H559H894H8257H6965H6440H7451H935H3286H1697H3414
