By the riversH5104 of BabylonH894, there we sat downH3427, yea, we weptH1058, when we rememberedH2142 ZionH6726.
We hangedH8518 our harpsH3658 upon the willowsH6155 in the midstH8432 thereof.
For there they that carried us away captiveH7617 requiredH7592 of us a songH1697+H7892; and they that wastedH8437 us required of us mirthH8057, saying, SingH7891 us one of the songsH7892 of ZionH6726. {a song: Heb. the words of a song} {wasted…: Heb. laid us on heaps}
How shall we singH7891 the LORD'SH3068 songH7892 in a strangeH5236 landH127? {strange…: Heb. land of a stranger?}
If I forgetH7911 thee, O JerusalemH3389, let my right handH3225 forgetH7911 her cunning.
If I do not rememberH2142 thee, let my tongueH3956 cleaveH1692 to the roof of my mouthH2441; if I preferH5927 not JerusalemH3389 above my chiefH7218 joyH8057. {my chief…: Heb. the head of my joy}
RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of EdomH123 in the dayH3117 of JerusalemH3389; who saidH559, RaseH6168 it, raseH6168 it, even to the foundationH3247 thereof. {Rase it: Heb. Make bare}
O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894, who art to be destroyedH7703; happyH835 shall he be, that rewardethH7999 thee as thou hast servedH1580+H1576 us. {destroyed: Heb. wasted} {rewardeth…: Heb. recompenseth unto thee thy deed which thou didst to us}
HappyH835 shall he be, that takethH270 and dashethH5310 thy little onesH5768 against the stonesH5553. {the stones: Heb. the rock}

Come downH3381, and sitH3427 in the dustH6083, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of BabylonH894, sitH3427 on the groundH776: there is no throneH3678, O daughterH1323 of the ChaldeansH3778: for thou shalt no moreH3254 be calledH7121 tenderH7390 and delicateH6028.
TakeH3947 the millstonesH7347, and grindH2912 mealH7058: uncoverH1540 thy locksH6777, make bareH2834 the legH7640, uncoverH1540 the thighH7785, pass overH5674 the riversH5104.
Thy nakednessH6172 shall be uncoveredH1540, yea, thy shameH2781 shall be seenH7200: I will takeH3947 vengeanceH5359, and I will not meetH6293 thee as a manH120.
As for our redeemerH1350, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
SitH3427 thou silentH1748, and getH935 thee into darknessH2822, O daughterH1323 of the ChaldeansH3778: for thou shalt no moreH3254 be calledH7121, The ladyH1404 of kingdomsH4467.
The burdenH4853 of BabylonH894, which IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 did seeH2372.
Lift ye upH5375 a bannerH5251 upon the highH8192 mountainH2022, exaltH7311 the voiceH6963 unto them, shakeH5130 the handH3027, that they may goH935 into the gatesH6607 of the noblesH5081.
I have commandedH6680 my sanctified onesH6942, I have also calledH7121 my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346.
The noiseH6963 of a multitudeH1995 in the mountainsH2022, like asH1823 of a greatH7227 peopleH5971; a tumultuousH7588 noiseH6963 of the kingdomsH4467 of nationsH1471 gathered togetherH622: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 musterethH6485 the hostH6635 of the battleH4421. {like…: Heb. the likeness of}
They comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, from the endH7097 of heavenH8064, even the LORDH3068, and the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195, to destroyH2254 the whole landH776.
HowlH3213 ye; for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935 as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706.
Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503, and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549: {be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraidH926: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270 of them; they shall be in painH2342 as a woman that travailethH3205: they shall be amazedH8539 oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. {be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one…: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760 the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045 the sinnersH2400 thereof out of it.
For the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 and the constellationsH3685 thereof shall not giveH1984 their lightH216: the sunH8121 shall be darkenedH2821 in his going forthH3318, and the moonH3394 shall not cause her lightH216 to shineH5050.
And I will punishH6485 the worldH8398 for their evilH7451, and the wickedH7563 for their iniquityH5771; and I will cause the arrogancyH1347 of the proudH2086 to ceaseH7673, and will lay lowH8213 the haughtinessH1346 of the terribleH6184.
I will make a manH582 more preciousH3365 than fine goldH6337; even a manH120 than the golden wedgeH3800 of OphirH211.
Therefore I will shakeH7264 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493 out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639.
And it shall be as the chasedH5080 roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908: they shall every manH376 turnH6437 to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127 every oneH376 into his own landH776.
Every one that is foundH4672 shall be thrust throughH1856; and every one that is joinedH5595 unto them shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719.
Their childrenH5768 also shall be dashed to piecesH7376 before their eyesH5869; their housesH1004 shall be spoiledH8155, and their wivesH802 ravishedH7901+H7693.
Behold, I will stir upH5782 the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803 silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in it.
Their bowsH7198 also shall dashH7376 the young menH5288 to piecesH7376; and they shall have no pityH7355 on the fruitH6529 of the wombH990; their eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347 childrenH1121.
And BabylonH894, the gloryH6643 of kingdomsH4467, the beautyH8597 of the Chaldees'H3778 excellencyH1347, shall be as when GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017. {as…: Heb. as the overthrowing}
It shall neverH5331 be inhabitedH3427, neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755: neither shall the ArabianH6163 pitch tentH167 there; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 make their foldH7257 there.
But wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall lieH7257 there; and their housesH1004 shall be fullH4390 of doleful creaturesH255; and owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH7931 there, and satyrsH8163 shall danceH7540 there. {wild…: Heb. Ziim} {doleful…: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
And the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall cryH6030 in their desolate housesH490, and dragonsH8577 in their pleasantH6027 palacesH1964: and her timeH6256 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and her daysH3117 shall not be prolongedH4900. {the wild…: Heb. Iim} {desolate…: or, palaces}
Let the highH7319 praises of GodH410 be in their mouthH1627, and a twoedgedH6374 swordH2719 in their handH3027; {mouth: Heb. throat}
To executeH6213 vengeanceH5360 upon the heathenH1471, and punishmentsH8433 upon the peopleH3816;
To bindH631 their kingsH4428 with chainsH2131, and their noblesH3513 with fettersH3525 of ironH1270;
To executeH6213 upon them the judgmentH4941 writtenH3789: this honourH1926 have all his saintsH2623. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
ShoutH7321 against her round aboutH5439: she hath givenH5414 her handH3027: her foundationsH803 are fallenH5307, her wallsH2346 are thrown downH2040: for it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068: take vengeanceH5358 upon her; as she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her.
Cut offH3772 the sowerH2232 from BabylonH894, and him that handlethH8610 the sickleH4038 in the timeH6256 of harvestH7105: for fearH6440 of the oppressingH3238 swordH2719 they shall turnH6437 every oneH376 to his peopleH5971, and they shall fleeH5127 every oneH376 to his own landH776. {sickle; or, scythe}
IsraelH3478 is a scatteredH6340 sheepH7716; the lionsH738 have driven him awayH5080: firstH7223 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hath devouredH398 him; and lastH314 this NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath broken his bonesH6105.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and his landH776, as I have punishedH6485 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
And I will bringH7725 IsraelH3478 againH7725 to his habitationH5116, and he shall feedH7462 on CarmelH3760 and BashanH1316, and his soulH5315 shall be satisfiedH7646 upon mountH2022 EphraimH669 and GileadH1568.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the iniquityH5771 of IsraelH3478 shall be sought forH1245, and there shall be none; and the sinsH2403 of JudahH3063, and they shall not be foundH4672: for I will pardonH5545 them whom I reserveH7604.
Go upH5927 against the landH776 of MerathaimH4850, even against it, and against the inhabitantsH3427 of PekodH6489: wasteH2717 and utterly destroyH2763 afterH310 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee. {of Merathaim: or, of the rebels} {Pekod: or, Visitation}
A soundH6963 of battleH4421 is in the landH776, and of greatH1419 destructionH7667.
How is the hammerH6360 of the whole earthH776 cut asunderH1438 and brokenH7665! how is BabylonH894 become a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471!
I have laid a snareH3369 for thee, and thou art also takenH3920, O BabylonH894, and thou wast not awareH3045: thou art foundH4672, and also caughtH8610, because thou hast strivenH1624 against the LORDH3068.
The LORDH3068 hath openedH6605 his armouryH214, and hath brought forthH3318 the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195: for this is the workH4399 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778.
ComeH935 against her from the utmost borderH7093, openH6605 her storehousesH3965: cast her upH5549 as heapsH6194, and destroy her utterlyH2763: let nothing of her be leftH7611. {from…: Heb. from the end} {cast…: or, tread her}
SlayH2717 all her bullocksH6499; let them go downH3381 to the slaughterH2874: woeH1945 unto them! for their dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486.
The voiceH6963 of them that fleeH5127 and escape outH6405 of the landH776 of BabylonH894, to declareH5046 in ZionH6726 the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964.
Call togetherH8085 the archersH7228 against BabylonH894: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, campH2583 against it round aboutH5439; let none thereof escapeH6413: recompenseH7999 her according to her workH6467; according to all that she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her: for she hath been proudH2102 against the LORDH3068, against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
They shall holdH2388 the bowH7198 and the lanceH3591: they are cruelH394, and will not shew mercyH7355: their voiceH6963 shall roarH1993 like the seaH3220, and they shall rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, every one put in arrayH6186, like a manH376 to the battleH4421, against thee, O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894.
That thou shalt take upH5375 this proverbH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, How hath the oppressorH5065 ceasedH7673! the golden cityH4062 ceasedH7673! {proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden…: or, exactress of gold}
The LORDH3068 hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, and the sceptreH7626 of the rulersH4910.
He who smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continualH1115+H5627 strokeH4347, he that ruledH7287 the nationsH1471 in angerH639, is persecutedH4783, and noneH1097 hinderethH2820. {a continual…: Heb. a stroke without removing}
The whole earthH776 is at restH5117, and is quietH8252: they break forthH6476 into singingH7440.
Yea, the fir treesH1265 rejoiceH8055 at thee, and the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, saying, Since thou art laid downH7901, no fellerH3772 is come upH5927 against us.
HellH7585 from beneath is movedH7264 for thee to meetH7125 thee at thy comingH935: it stirreth upH5782 the deadH7496 for thee, even all the chief onesH6260 of the earthH776; it hath raised upH6965 from their thronesH3678 all the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471. {Hell: or, The grave} {chief…: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}
All they shall speakH6030 and sayH559 unto thee, Art thou also become weakH2470 as we? art thou become likeH4911 unto us?
Thy pompH1347 is brought downH3381 to the graveH7585, and the noiseH1998 of thy violsH5035: the wormH7415 is spreadH3331 under thee, and the wormsH8438 coverH4374 thee.
How art thou fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, O LuciferH1966, sonH1121 of the morningH7837+H3213! how art thou cut downH1438 to the groundH776, which didst weakenH2522 the nationsH1471! {O Lucifer: or, O day star}
For thou hast saidH559 in thine heartH3824, I will ascendH5927 into heavenH8064, I will exaltH7311 my throneH3678 aboveH4605 the starsH3556 of GodH410: I will sitH3427 also upon the mountH2022 of the congregationH4150, in the sidesH3411 of the northH6828:
I will ascendH5927 above the heightsH1116 of the cloudsH5645; I will be likeH1819 the most HighH5945.
Yet thou shalt be brought downH3381 to hellH7585, to the sidesH3411 of the pitH953.
They that seeH7200 thee shall narrowly lookH7688 upon thee, and considerH995 thee, saying, Is this the manH376 that made the earthH776 to trembleH7264, that did shakeH7493 kingdomsH4467;
That madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892 thereof; that openedH6605 not the houseH1004 of his prisonersH615? {opened…: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471, even all of them, lieH7901 in gloryH3519, every oneH376 in his own houseH1004.
But thou art cast outH7993 of thy graveH6913 like an abominableH8581 branchH5342, and as the raimentH3830 of those that are slainH2026, thrust throughH2944 with a swordH2719, that go downH3381 to the stonesH68 of the pitH953; as a carcaseH6297 trodden under feetH947.
Thou shalt not be joinedH3161 with them in burialH6900, because thou hast destroyedH7843 thy landH776, and slainH2026 thy peopleH5971: the seedH2233 of evildoersH7489 shall neverH5769 be renownedH7121.
PrepareH3559 slaughterH4293 for his childrenH1121 for the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1; that they do notH1077 riseH6965, nor possessH3423 the landH776, nor fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with citiesH6145+H5892.
For I will rise upH6965 against them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and cut offH3772 from BabylonH894 the nameH8034, and remnantH7605, and sonH5209, and nephewH5220, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I will also makeH7760 it a possessionH4180 for the bitternH7090, and poolsH98 of waterH4325: and I will sweepH2894 it with the besomH4292 of destructionH8045, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650, sayingH559, Surely as I have thoughtH1819, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposedH3289, so shall it standH6965:
I have commandedH6680 my sanctified onesH6942, I have also calledH7121 my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346.
The noiseH6963 of a multitudeH1995 in the mountainsH2022, like asH1823 of a greatH7227 peopleH5971; a tumultuousH7588 noiseH6963 of the kingdomsH4467 of nationsH1471 gathered togetherH622: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 musterethH6485 the hostH6635 of the battleH4421. {like…: Heb. the likeness of}
They comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, from the endH7097 of heavenH8064, even the LORDH3068, and the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195, to destroyH2254 the whole landH776.
RewardG591 herG846 evenG2532 asG5613 sheG846+G3778 rewardedG591 youG5213, andG2532 doubleG1363 unto herG846 doubleG1362 according toG2596 herG846 worksG2041: inG1722 the cupG4221 whichG3739 she hath filledG2767 fillG2767 to herG846 doubleG1362.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; The daughterH1323 of BabylonH894 is like a threshingfloorH1637, it is timeH6256 to threshH1869 her: yet a little whileH4592, and the timeH6256 of her harvestH7105 shall comeH935. {it is…: or, in the time that he thresheth her}
The burdenH4853 of the desertH4057 of the seaH3220. As whirlwindsH5492 in the southH5045 passH2498 through; so it comethH935 from the desertH4057, from a terribleH3372 landH776.
That saithH559 of CyrusH3566, He is my shepherdH7462, and shall performH7999 all my pleasureH2656: even sayingH559 to JerusalemH3389, Thou shalt be builtH1129; and to the templeH1964, Thy foundation shall be laidH3245.
Come downH3381, and sitH3427 in the dustH6083, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of BabylonH894, sitH3427 on the groundH776: there is no throneH3678, O daughterH1323 of the ChaldeansH3778: for thou shalt no moreH3254 be calledH7121 tenderH7390 and delicateH6028.
AndG2532 uponG1909 herG846 foreheadG3359 was a nameG3686 writtenG1125, MYSTERYG3466, BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF HARLOTSG4204 ANDG2532 ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093. {harlots: or, fornications}
And it shall come to pass, when seventyH7657 yearsH8141 are accomplishedH4390, that I will punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and that nationH1471, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for their iniquityH5771, and the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and will makeH7760 it perpetualH5769 desolationsH8077. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
And I will bringH935 upon that landH776 all my wordsH1697 which I have pronouncedH1696 against it, even all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612, which JeremiahH3414 hath prophesiedH5012 against all the nationsH1471.
For manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 shall serveH5647 themselves of them also: and I will recompenseH7999 them according to their deedsH6467, and according to the worksH4639 of their own handsH3027.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the womanG1135 drunkenG3184 withG1537 the bloodG129 of the saintsG40, andG2532 withG1537 the bloodG129 of the martyrsG3144 of JesusG2424: andG2532 when I sawG1492 herG846, I wonderedG2296 with greatG3173 admirationG2295.
The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 against BabylonH894 and against the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 byH3027 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030. {by…: Heb. by the hand of Jeremiah}
DeclareH5046 ye among the nationsH1471, and publishH8085, and set upH5375 a standardH5251; publishH8085, and concealH3582 not: sayH559, BabylonH894 is takenH3920, BelH1078 is confoundedH3001, MerodachH4781 is broken in piecesH2865; her idolsH6091 are confoundedH3001, her imagesH1544 are broken in piecesH2865. {set up: Heb. lift up}
For out of the northH6828 there cometh upH5927 a nationH1471 against her, which shall makeH7896 her landH776 desolateH8047, and none shall dwellH3427 therein: they shall removeH5110, they shall departH1980, both manH120 and beastH929.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall comeH935, they and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 togetherH3162, goingH1980 and weepingH1058: they shall goH3212, and seekH1245 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
They shall askH7592 the wayH1870 to ZionH6726 with their facesH6440 thitherwardH2008, saying, ComeH935, and let us joinH3867 ourselves to the LORDH3068 in a perpetualH5769 covenantH1285 that shall not be forgottenH7911.
My peopleH5971 hath been lostH6 sheepH6629: their shepherdsH7462 have caused them to go astrayH8582, they have turned them awayH7725+H7726 on the mountainsH2022: they have goneH1980 from mountainH2022 to hillH1389, they have forgottenH7911 their restingplaceH7258. {restingplace: Heb. place to lie down in}
All that foundH4672 them have devouredH398 them: and their adversariesH6862 saidH559, We offendH816 not, because they have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068, the habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, even the LORDH3068, the hopeH4723 of their fathersH1.
RemoveH5110 out of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and go forthH3318+H3318 out of the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and be as the he goatsH6260 beforeH6440 the flocksH6629.
For, lo, I will raiseH5782 and cause to come upH5927 against BabylonH894 an assemblyH6951 of greatH1419 nationsH1471 from the northH6828 countryH776: and they shall set themselves in arrayH6186 against her; from thence she shall be takenH3920: their arrowsH2671 shall be as of a mightyH1368 expert manH7919+H7921; none shall returnH7725 in vainH7387. {expert…: or, destroyer}
And ChaldeaH3778 shall be a spoilH7998: all that spoilH7997 her shall be satisfiedH7646, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Because ye were gladH8055, because ye rejoicedH5937, O ye destroyersH8154 of mine heritageH5159, because ye are grown fatH6335 as the heiferH5697 at grassH1877+H1758, and bellowH6670 as bullsH47; {fat: Heb. big, or, corpulent} {bellow…: or, neigh as steeds}
Your motherH517 shall be soreH3966 confoundedH954; she that bareH3205 you shall be ashamedH2659: behold, the hindermostH319 of the nationsH1471 shall be a wildernessH4057, a dry landH6723, and a desertH6160.
Because of the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 it shall not be inhabitedH3427, but it shall be wholly desolateH8077: every one that goethH5674 by BabylonH894 shall be astonishedH8074, and hissH8319 at all her plaguesH4347.
Put yourselves in arrayH6186 against BabylonH894 round aboutH5439: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, shootH3034 at her, spareH2550 no arrowsH2671: for she hath sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068.
ShoutH7321 against her round aboutH5439: she hath givenH5414 her handH3027: her foundationsH803 are fallenH5307, her wallsH2346 are thrown downH2040: for it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068: take vengeanceH5358 upon her; as she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her.
Cut offH3772 the sowerH2232 from BabylonH894, and him that handlethH8610 the sickleH4038 in the timeH6256 of harvestH7105: for fearH6440 of the oppressingH3238 swordH2719 they shall turnH6437 every oneH376 to his peopleH5971, and they shall fleeH5127 every oneH376 to his own landH776. {sickle; or, scythe}
IsraelH3478 is a scatteredH6340 sheepH7716; the lionsH738 have driven him awayH5080: firstH7223 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hath devouredH398 him; and lastH314 this NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath broken his bonesH6105.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and his landH776, as I have punishedH6485 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
And I will bringH7725 IsraelH3478 againH7725 to his habitationH5116, and he shall feedH7462 on CarmelH3760 and BashanH1316, and his soulH5315 shall be satisfiedH7646 upon mountH2022 EphraimH669 and GileadH1568.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the iniquityH5771 of IsraelH3478 shall be sought forH1245, and there shall be none; and the sinsH2403 of JudahH3063, and they shall not be foundH4672: for I will pardonH5545 them whom I reserveH7604.
Go upH5927 against the landH776 of MerathaimH4850, even against it, and against the inhabitantsH3427 of PekodH6489: wasteH2717 and utterly destroyH2763 afterH310 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee. {of Merathaim: or, of the rebels} {Pekod: or, Visitation}
A soundH6963 of battleH4421 is in the landH776, and of greatH1419 destructionH7667.
How is the hammerH6360 of the whole earthH776 cut asunderH1438 and brokenH7665! how is BabylonH894 become a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471!
I have laid a snareH3369 for thee, and thou art also takenH3920, O BabylonH894, and thou wast not awareH3045: thou art foundH4672, and also caughtH8610, because thou hast strivenH1624 against the LORDH3068.
The LORDH3068 hath openedH6605 his armouryH214, and hath brought forthH3318 the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195: for this is the workH4399 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778.
ComeH935 against her from the utmost borderH7093, openH6605 her storehousesH3965: cast her upH5549 as heapsH6194, and destroy her utterlyH2763: let nothing of her be leftH7611. {from…: Heb. from the end} {cast…: or, tread her}
SlayH2717 all her bullocksH6499; let them go downH3381 to the slaughterH2874: woeH1945 unto them! for their dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486.
The voiceH6963 of them that fleeH5127 and escape outH6405 of the landH776 of BabylonH894, to declareH5046 in ZionH6726 the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964.
Call togetherH8085 the archersH7228 against BabylonH894: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, campH2583 against it round aboutH5439; let none thereof escapeH6413: recompenseH7999 her according to her workH6467; according to all that she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her: for she hath been proudH2102 against the LORDH3068, against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore shall her young menH970 fallH5307 in the streetsH7339, and all her menH582 of warH4421 shall be cut offH1826 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proudH2087, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635: for thy dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 thee. {most…: Heb. pride}
And the most proudH2087 shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and none shall raise him upH6965: and I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 all round aboutH5439 him. {the…: Heb. pride}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 were oppressedH6231 togetherH3162: and all that took them captivesH7617 held them fastH2388; they refusedH3985 to let them goH7971.
Their RedeemerH1350 is strongH2389; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: he shall throughlyH7378 pleadH7378 their causeH7379, that he may give restH7280 to the landH776, and disquietH7264 the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894.
A swordH2719 is upon the ChaldeansH3778, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894, and upon her princesH8269, and upon her wiseH2450 men.
A swordH2719 is upon the liarsH907; and they shall doteH2973: a swordH2719 is upon her mighty menH1368; and they shall be dismayedH2865. {liars: or, chief stays: Heb. bars}
A swordH2719 is upon their horsesH5483, and upon their chariotsH7393, and upon all the mingled peopleH6154 that are in the midstH8432 of her; and they shall become as womenH802: a swordH2719 is upon her treasuresH214; and they shall be robbedH962.
A droughtH2721 is upon her watersH4325; and they shall be dried upH3001: for it is the landH776 of graven imagesH6456, and they are madH1984 upon their idolsH367.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desertH6728 with the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall dwellH3427 there, and the owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH3427 therein: and it shall be no more inhabitedH3427 for everH5331; neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
As GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; so shall no manH376 abideH3427 there, neither shall any sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 therein.
Behold, a peopleH5971 shall comeH935 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 nationH1471, and manyH7227 kingsH4428 shall be raised upH5782 from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776.
They shall holdH2388 the bowH7198 and the lanceH3591: they are cruelH394, and will not shew mercyH7355: their voiceH6963 shall roarH1993 like the seaH3220, and they shall rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, every one put in arrayH6186, like a manH376 to the battleH4421, against thee, O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894.
The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath heardH8085 the reportH8088 of them, and his handsH3027 waxed feebleH7503: anguishH6869 took holdH2388 of him, and pangsH2427 as of a woman in travailH3205.
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 unto the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will makeH7323 them suddenlyH7280 run awayH7323+H7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me to plead?}
Therefore hearH8085 ye the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that he hath takenH3289 against BabylonH894; and his purposesH4284, that he hath purposedH2803 against the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778: Surely the leastH6810 of the flockH6629 shall draw them outH5498: surely he shall make their habitationH5116 desolateH8074 with them.
At the noiseH6963 of the takingH8610 of BabylonH894 the earthH776 is movedH7493, and the cryH2201 is heardH8085 among the nationsH1471.
TheseG3778 shall make warG4170 withG3326 the LambG721, andG2532 the LambG721 shall overcomeG3528 themG846: forG3754 he isG2076 LordG2962 of lordsG2962, andG2532 KingG935 of kingsG935: andG2532 they that are withG3326 himG846 are calledG2822, andG2532 chosenG1588, andG2532 faithfulG4103.
AndG2532 there followedG190 anotherG243 angelG32, sayingG3004, BabylonG897 is fallenG4098, is fallenG4098, that greatG3173 cityG4172, becauseG3754 she madeG4222 allG3956 nationsG1484 drinkG4222 ofG1537 the wineG3631 of the wrathG2372 of herG846 fornicationG4202.
AndG2532 the thirdG5154 angelG32 followedG190 themG846, sayingG3004 withG1722 a loudG3173 voiceG5456, If any manG1536 worshipG4352 the beastG2342 andG2532 hisG846 imageG1504, andG2532 receiveG2983 his markG5480 inG1909 hisG846 foreheadG3359, orG2228 inG1909 hisG846 handG5495,
The sameG846+G2532 shall drinkG4095 ofG1537 the wineG3631 of the wrathG2372 of GodG2316, whichG3588 is poured outG2767 without mixtureG194 intoG1722 the cupG4221 of hisG846 indignationG3709; andG2532 he shall be tormentedG928 withG1722 fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303 in the presenceG1799 of the holyG40 angelsG32, andG2532 in the presenceG1799 of the LambG721:
AndG2532 the smokeG2586 of theirG846 tormentG929 ascendeth upG305 forG1519 everG165 and everG165: andG2532 they haveG2192 noG3756 restG372 dayG2250 norG2532 nightG3571, whoG3588 worshipG4352 the beastG2342 andG2532 hisG846 imageG1504, andG2532 whosoeverG1536 receivethG2983 the markG5480 of hisG846 nameG3686.
RewardG591 herG846 evenG2532 asG5613 sheG846+G3778 rewardedG591 youG5213, andG2532 doubleG1363 unto herG846 doubleG1362 according toG2596 herG846 worksG2041: inG1722 the cupG4221 whichG3739 she hath filledG2767 fillG2767 to herG846 doubleG1362.
AndG2532 there cameG2064 oneG1520 ofG1537 the sevenG2033 angelsG32 whichG3588 hadG2192 the sevenG2033 vialsG5357, andG2532 talkedG2980 withG3326 meG1700, sayingG3004 unto meG3427, Come hitherG1204; I will shewG1166 unto theeG4671 the judgmentG2917 of the greatG3173 whoreG4204 that sittethG2521 uponG1909 manyG4183 watersG5204:
WithG3326 whomG3739 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 have committed fornicationG4203, andG2532 the inhabitantsG2730 of the earthG1093 have been made drunkG3184 withG1537 the wineG3631 of herG846 fornicationG4202.
SoG2532 he carriedG667 meG3165 awayG667 inG1722 the spiritG4151 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048: andG2532 I sawG1492 a womanG1135 sitG2521 uponG1909 a scarlet colouredG2847 beastG2342, full ofG1073 namesG3686 of blasphemyG988, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768.
AndG2532 the womanG1135 wasG2258 arrayedG4016 in purpleG4209 andG2532 scarlet colourG2847, andG2532 deckedG5558 with goldG5557 andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037 andG2532 pearlsG3135, havingG2192 a goldenG5552 cupG4221 inG1722 herG846 handG5495 full ofG1073 abominationsG946 andG2532 filthinessG168 of herG846 fornicationG4202: {decked: Gr. gilded}
AndG2532 uponG1909 herG846 foreheadG3359 was a nameG3686 writtenG1125, MYSTERYG3466, BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF HARLOTSG4204 ANDG2532 ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093. {harlots: or, fornications}
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the womanG1135 drunkenG3184 withG1537 the bloodG129 of the saintsG40, andG2532 withG1537 the bloodG129 of the martyrsG3144 of JesusG2424: andG2532 when I sawG1492 herG846, I wonderedG2296 with greatG3173 admirationG2295.
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto meG3427, WhereforeG1302 didst thou marvelG2296? IG1473 will tellG2046 theeG4671 the mysteryG3466 of the womanG1135, andG2532 of the beastG2342 that carriethG941 herG846, whichG3588 hathG2192 the sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768.
The beastG2342 thatG3739 thou sawestG1492 wasG2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756; andG2532 shallG3195 ascendG305 out ofG1537 the bottomless pitG12, andG2532 goG5217 intoG1519 perditionG684: andG2532 they that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 shall wonderG2296, whoseG3739 namesG3686 wereG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1909 the bookG975 of lifeG2222 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, when they beholdG991 the beastG2342 that wasG3748+G2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756, and yetG2539 isG2076.
And hereG5602 is the mindG3563 whichG3588 hathG2192 wisdomG4678. The sevenG2033 headsG2776 areG1526 sevenG2033 mountainsG3735, onG1909 whichG846 the womanG1135 sittethG2521+G3699.
AndG2532 there areG1526 sevenG2033 kingsG935: fiveG4002 are fallenG4098, andG2532 oneG1520 isG2076, and the otherG243 isG2064 not yetG3768 comeG2064; andG2532 whenG3752 he comethG2064, heG846 mustG1163 continueG3306 a short spaceG3641.
AndG2532 the beastG2342 thatG3739 wasG2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756, evenG2532 heG846 isG2076 the eighthG3590, andG2532 isG2076 ofG1537 the sevenG2033, andG2532 goethG5217 intoG1519 perditionG684.
AndG2532 the tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 areG1526 tenG1176 kingsG935, whichG3748 have receivedG2983 noG3768 kingdomG932 as yetG3768; butG235 receiveG2983 powerG1849 asG5613 kingsG935 oneG3391 hourG5610 withG3326 the beastG2342.
TheseG3778 haveG2192 oneG3391 mindG1106, andG2532 shall giveG1239 theirG1438 powerG1411 andG2532 strengthG1849 unto the beastG2342.
TheseG3778 shall make warG4170 withG3326 the LambG721, andG2532 the LambG721 shall overcomeG3528 themG846: forG3754 he isG2076 LordG2962 of lordsG2962, andG2532 KingG935 of kingsG935: andG2532 they that are withG3326 himG846 are calledG2822, andG2532 chosenG1588, andG2532 faithfulG4103.
AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto meG3427, The watersG5204 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492, whereG3757 the whoreG4204 sittethG2521, areG1526 peoplesG2992, andG2532 multitudesG3793, andG2532 nationsG1484, andG2532 tonguesG1100.
AndG2532 the tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 uponG1909 the beastG2342, theseG3778 shall hateG3404 the whoreG4204, andG2532 shall makeG4160 herG846 desolateG2049 andG2532 nakedG1131, andG2532 shall eatG5315 herG846 fleshG4561, andG2532 burnG2618 herG846 withG1722 fireG4442.
ForG1063 GodG2316 hath putG1325 inG1519 theirG846 heartsG2588 to fulfilG4160 hisG846 willG1106, andG2532 to agreeG4160+G3391+G1106, andG2532 giveG1325 theirG846 kingdomG932 unto the beastG2342, untilG891 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316 shall be fulfilledG5055.
AndG2532 the womanG1135 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 isG2076 that greatG3173 cityG4172, whichG3588 reignethG2192+G932 overG1909 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093.
