37And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.H894H1530H4583H8577H8047H8322H3427
38They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.H7580H3162H3715H5286H738H1484

41How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!H8347H3920H8416H776H8610H894H8047H1471
42The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.H3220H5927H894H3680H1995H1530
43Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.H5892H8047H6723H776H6160H776H376H3427H1121H120H5674H2004

46And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.H3824H7401H3372H8052H8085H776H8052H935H8141H310H8141H8052H2555H776H4910H4910
47Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.H3117H935H6485H6456H894H776H954H2491H5307H8432
48Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.H8064H776H7442H894H7703H935H6828H5002H3068
49As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.H1571H894H2491H3478H5307H894H5307H2491H776
50Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.H6405H2719H1980H5975H2142H3068H7350H3389H5927H3824
51We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD's house.H954H8085H2781H3639H3680H6440H2114H935H4720H3068H1004
52Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.H3117H935H5002H3068H6485H6456H776H2491H602
53Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.H894H5927H8064H1219H4791H5797H227H7703H935H5002H3068
54A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:H6963H2201H894H1419H7667H776H3778
55Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:H3068H7703H894H6H1419H6963H1530H1993H7227H4325H7588H6963H5414
56Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.H7703H935H894H1368H3920H7198H2865H3068H410H1578H7999H7999
57And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.H7937H8269H2450H6346H5461H1368H3462H5769H8142H6974H5002H4428H8034H3068H6635
58Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.H559H3068H6635H7342H2346H894H6209H6209H1364H8179H3341H784H5971H3021H7385H3816H1767H784H3286
59The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.H1697H3414H5030H6680H8304H1121H5374H1121H4271H3212H6667H4428H3063H894H7243H8141H4427H8304H4496H8269
60So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.H3414H3789H259H5612H7451H935H894H1697H3789H894
61And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;H3414H559H8304H935H894H7200H7121H1697
62Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.H559H3068H1696H4725H3772H3427H120H929H8077H5769
63And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:H3615H7121H5612H7194H68H7993H8432H6578
64And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.H559H894H8257H6965H6440H7451H935H3286H1697H3414
