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}

Now in the firstH259 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 might be fulfilledH3615, the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 the spiritH7307 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, that he made a proclamationH5674+H6963 throughout all his kingdomH4438, and put it also in writingH4385, sayingH559, {made…: Heb. caused a voice to pass}
Thus saithH559 CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, The LORDH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064 hath givenH5414 me all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776; and he hath chargedH6485 me to buildH1129 him an houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389, which is in JudahH3063.
Who is there among you of all his peopleH5971? his GodH430 be with him, and let him go upH5927 to JerusalemH3389, which is in JudahH3063, and buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, (he is the GodH430,) which is in JerusalemH3389.
And whosoever remainethH7604 in any placeH4725 where he sojournethH1481, let the menH582 of his placeH4725 helpH5375 him with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with goodsH7399, and with beastsH929, beside the freewill offeringH5071 for the houseH1004 of GodH430 that is in JerusalemH3389. {help…: Heb. lift him up}
Then rose upH6965 the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, with all them whose spiritH7307 GodH430 had raisedH5782, to go upH5927 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which is in JerusalemH3389.
And all they that were aboutH5439 them strengthenedH2388 their handsH3027 with vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, with goldH2091, with goodsH7399, and with beastsH929, and with precious thingsH4030, beside all that was willingly offeredH5068. {strengthened…: that is, helped them}
Also CyrusH3566 the kingH4428 brought forthH3318 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, which NebuchadnezzarH5019 had brought forthH3318 out of JerusalemH3389, and had putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of his godsH430;
Even those did CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 bring forthH3318 by the handH3027 of MithredathH4990 the treasurerH1489, and numberedH5608 them unto SheshbazzarH8339, the princeH5387 of JudahH3063.
And this is the numberH4557 of them: thirtyH7970 chargersH105 of goldH2091, a thousandH505 chargersH105 of silverH3701, nineH8672 and twentyH6242 knivesH4252,
ThirtyH7970 basonsH3713 of goldH2091, silverH3701 basonsH3713 of a secondH4932 sort fourH702 hundredH3967 and tenH6235, and otherH312 vesselsH3627 a thousandH505.
All the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701 were fiveH2568 thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967. All these did SheshbazzarH8339 bring upH5927 with them of the captivityH1473 that were brought upH5927 from BabylonH894 unto JerusalemH3389. {the captivity: Heb. the transportation}
AssembleH5789 yourselves, and comeH935, all ye heathenH1471, and gather yourselves togetherH6908 round aboutH5439: thither cause thy mighty onesH1368 to come downH5181, O LORDH3068. {cause…: or, the LORD shall bring down}
ThenH116 DariusH1868 the kingH4430 madeH7761 a decreeH2942, and searchH1240 was made in the houseH1005 of the rollsH5609, whereH8536 the treasuresH1596 were laid upH5182 in BabylonH895. {rolls: Chaldee, books} {laid up: Chaldee, made to descend}
And there was foundH7912 at AchmethaH307, in the palaceH1001 that is in the provinceH4083 of the MedesH4076, aH2298 rollH4040, and thereinH1459 was a recordH1799 thusH3652 writtenH3790: {Achmetha: or, Ecbatana, or, in a coffer}
In the firstH2298 yearH8140 of CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 the same CyrusH3567 the kingH4430 madeH7761 a decreeH2942 concerning the houseH1005 of GodH426 at JerusalemH3390, Let the houseH1005 be buildedH1124, the placeH870 where they offeredH1684 sacrificesH1685, and let the foundationsH787 thereof be strongly laidH5446; the heightH7314 thereof threescoreH8361 cubitsH521, and the breadthH6613 thereof threescoreH8361 cubitsH521;
With threeH8532 rowsH5073 of greatH1560 stonesH69, and a rowH5073 of newH2323 timberH636: and let the expensesH5313 be givenH3052 out ofH4481 the king'sH4430 houseH1005:
And alsoH638 let the goldenH1722 and silverH3702 vesselsH3984 of the houseH1005 of GodH426, which NebuchadnezzarH5020 took forthH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 which is at JerusalemH3390, and broughtH2987 unto BabylonH895, be restoredH8421, and brought againH1946 unto the templeH1965 which is at JerusalemH3390, every one to his placeH870, and placeH5182 them in the houseH1005 of GodH426. {brought again: Chaldee, go}
NowH3705 therefore, TatnaiH8674, governorH6347 beyondH5675 the riverH5103, ShetharboznaiH8370, and your companionsH3675 the ApharsachitesH671, which are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, be yeH1934 farH7352 fromH4481 thenceH8536: {your…: Chaldee, their societies}
Let the workH5673 of thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426 aloneH7662; let the governorH6347 of the JewsH3062 and the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062 buildH1124 thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426 inH5922 his placeH870.
Moreover IH4481 makeH7761 a decreeH2942 whatH3964 ye shall doH5648 toH5974 the eldersH7868 of theseH479 JewsH3062 for the buildingH1124 of thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426: that of the king'sH4430 goodsH5232, even ofH1768 the tributeH4061 beyondH5675 the riverH5103, forthwithH629 expensesH5313 beH1934 givenH3052 unto theseH479 menH1400, that they be notH3809 hinderedH989. {I make…: Chaldee, by me a decree is made} {hindered: Chaldee, made to cease}
And that whichH4101 they have need ofH2818, both youngH1123 bullocksH8450, and ramsH1798, and lambsH563, for the burnt offeringsH5928 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, wheatH2591, saltH4416, wineH2562, and oilH4887, according to the appointmentH3983 of the priestsH3549 which are at JerusalemH3390, let it beH1934 givenH3052 them dayH3118 by dayH3118 withoutH3809 failH7960:
That they may offerH1934+H7127 sacrifices of sweet savoursH5208 unto the GodH426 of heavenH8065, and prayH6739 for the lifeH2417 of the kingH4430, and of his sonsH1123. {of sweet…: Chaldee, of rest}
AlsoH4481 I have madeH7761 a decreeH2942, that whosoeverH3606+H606 shall alterH8133 thisH1836 wordH6600, let timberH636 be pulled downH5256 fromH4481 his houseH1005, and being set upH2211, let him be hangedH4223 thereonH5922; and let his houseH1005 be madeH5648 a dunghillH5122 forH5922 thisH1836. {let him…: Chaldee, let him be destroyed}
And the GodH426 that hath caused his nameH8036 to dwellH7932 thereH8536 destroyH4049 allH3606 kingsH4430 and peopleH5972, that shall putH7972 to their handH3028 to alterH8133 and to destroyH2255 thisH1791 houseH1005 of GodH426 which is at JerusalemH3390. IH576 DariusH1868 have madeH7761 a decreeH2942; let it be doneH5648 with speedH629.
ThenH116 TatnaiH8674, governorH6347 on this sideH5675 the riverH5103, ShetharboznaiH8370, and their companionsH3675, accordingH6903 to that which DariusH1868 the kingH4430 had sentH7972, soH3660 they didH5648 speedilyH629.
And the eldersH7868 of the JewsH3062 buildedH1124, and they prosperedH6744 through the prophesyingH5017 of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5029 and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1247 of IddoH5714. And they buildedH1124, and finishedH3635 it, accordingH4481 to the commandmentH2941 of the GodH426 of IsraelH3479, and according to the commandmentH2942 of CyrusH3567, and DariusH1868, and ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4430 of PersiaH6540. {commandment: Chaldee, decree}
And thisH1836 houseH1005 was finishedH3319 onH5705 the thirdH8532 dayH3118 of the monthH3393 AdarH144, which wasH1932 in the sixthH8353 yearH8140 of the reignH4437 of DariusH1868 the kingH4430.
And the childrenH1123 of IsraelH3479, the priestsH3549, and the LevitesH3879, and the restH7606 of the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547, keptH5648 the dedicationH2597 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426 with joyH2305, {the children of the captivity: Chaldee, the sons of the transportation}
And offeredH7127 at the dedicationH2597 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426 an hundredH3969 bullocksH8450, two hundredH3969 ramsH1798, fourH703 hundredH3969 lambsH563; and for a sin offeringH2402+H2409 forH5922 allH3606 IsraelH3479, twelveH8648+H6236 heH6841 goatsH5796, according to the numberH4510 of the tribesH7625 of IsraelH3479.
And they setH6966 the priestsH3549 in their divisionsH6392, and the LevitesH3879 in their coursesH4255, forH5922 the serviceH5673 of GodH426, which is at JerusalemH3390; as it is writtenH3792 in the bookH5609 of MosesH4873. {as it is…: Chaldee, according to the writing}
And the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473 keptH6213 the passoverH6453 upon the fourteenthH702+H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
For the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 were purifiedH2891 togetherH259, all of them were pureH2889, and killedH7819 the passoverH6453 for all the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473, and for their brethrenH251 the priestsH3548, and for themselves.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which were come againH7725 out of captivityH1473, and all such as had separatedH914 themselves unto them from the filthinessH2932 of the heathenH1471 of the landH776, to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, did eatH398,
And keptH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117 with joyH8057: for the LORDH3068 had made them joyfulH8055, and turnedH5437 the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto them, to strengthenH2388 their handsH3027 in the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
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.
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.
ArtaxerxesH783, kingH4430 of kingsH4430, unto EzraH5831 the priestH3549, a scribeH5613 of the lawH1882 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, perfectH1585 peace, and at such a timeH3706. {unto…: or, to Ezra the priest, a perfect scribe of the law of the God of heaven, peace, etc}
IH4481 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, that allH3606 they ofH4481 the peopleH5972 of IsraelH3479, and of his priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, in my realmH4437, which are minded of their own freewillH5069 to go upH1946 to JerusalemH3390, goH1946 with theeH5974.
ForasmuchH1768+H6903 asH3606 thou art sentH7972 ofH4481+H6925 the kingH4430, and of his sevenH7655 counsellorsH3272, to enquireH1240 concerningH5922 JudahH3061 and JerusalemH3390, according to the lawH1882 of thy GodH426 which is in thine handH3028; {of the king: Chaldee, from before the king}
And to carryH2987 the silverH3702 and goldH1722, which the kingH4430 and his counsellorsH3272 have freely offeredH5069 unto the GodH426 of IsraelH3479, whoseH1768 habitationH4907 is in JerusalemH3390,
And allH3606 the silverH3702 and goldH1722 that thou canst findH7912 in allH3606 the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, withH5974 the freewill offeringH5069 of the peopleH5972, and of the priestsH3549, offering willinglyH5069 for the houseH1005 of their GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390:
ThatH3606+H6903 thou mayest buyH7066 speedilyH629 with thisH1836 moneyH3702 bullocksH8450, ramsH1798, lambsH563, with their meat offeringsH4504 and their drink offeringsH5261, and offerH7127 themH1994 uponH5922 the altarH4056 of the houseH1005 of your GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390.
And whatsoeverH4101+H1768 shall seem goodH3191 to thee, and toH5922 thy brethrenH252, to doH5648 with the restH7606 of the silverH3702 and the goldH1722, that doH5648 after the willH7470 of your GodH426.
The vesselsH3984 also that are givenH3052 thee for the serviceH6402 of the houseH1005 of thy GodH426, those deliverH8000 thou beforeH6925 the GodH426 of JerusalemH3390.
And whatsoever moreH7606 shall be needfulH2819 for the houseH1005 of thy GodH426, which thou shalt have occasionH5308 to bestowH5415, bestowH5415 it out ofH4481 the king'sH4430 treasureH1596 houseH1005.
And IH4481, even IH576 ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4430, do makeH7761 a decreeH2942 to allH3606 the treasurersH1490 which are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, that whatsoever EzraH5831 the priestH3549, the scribeH5613 of the lawH1882 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, shall requireH7593 of you, it be doneH5648 speedilyH629,
UntoH5705 an hundredH3969 talentsH3604 of silverH3702, and to an hundredH3969 measuresH3734 of wheatH2591, and to an hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of wineH2562, and to an hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of oilH4887, and saltH4416 withoutH3809 prescribingH3792 how much. {measures: Chaldee, cors}
WhatsoeverH3606 is commanded byH2941+H4481 the GodH426 of heavenH8065, let it be diligentlyH149 doneH5648 for the houseH1005 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065: forH1768 whyH4101 should there beH1934 wrathH7109 againstH5922 the realmH4437 of the kingH4430 and his sonsH1123? {Whatsoever…: Chaldee, Whatsoever is of the decree}
Also we certifyH3046 you, that touching anyH3606 of the priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, singersH2171, portersH8652, NethinimsH5412, or ministersH6399 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426, it shall notH3809 be lawfulH7990 to imposeH7412 tollH4061, tributeH1093, or customH1983, uponH5922 them.
And thouH607, EzraH5831, after the wisdomH2452 of thy GodH426, that is in thine handH3028, setH4483 magistratesH8200 and judgesH1782, which may judgeH1934+H1778 allH3606 the peopleH5972 that are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, allH3606 such as knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of thy GodH426; and teachH3046 ye them that knowH3046 them notH3809.
And whosoeverH3606 will notH3809 doH1934+H5648 the lawH1882 of thy GodH426, and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, let judgmentH1780 beH1934 executedH5648 speedilyH629 upon himH4481, whetherH2006 it be unto deathH4193, orH2006 to banishmentH8332, orH2006 to confiscationH6065 of goodsH5232, or to imprisonmentH613. {to banishment: Chaldee, to rooting out}
For JacobH3290 my servant'sH5650 sake, and IsraelH3478 mine electH972, I have even calledH7121 thee by thy nameH8034: I have surnamedH3655 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me.
Let IsraelH3478 rejoiceH8055 in him that madeH6213 him: let the childrenH1121 of ZionH6726 be joyfulH1523 in their KingH4428.
I am the LORDH3068, and there is none else, there is no GodH430 besideH2108 me: I girdedH247 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me:
Let the saintsH2623 be joyfulH5937 in gloryH3519: let them sing aloudH7442 upon their bedsH4904.
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.
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.
AndG2532 I heardG191 anotherG243 voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, ComeG1831 out ofG1537 herG846, myG3450 peopleG2992, thatG3363 ye beG4790 notG3363 partakersG4790 of herG846 sinsG266, andG2532 thatG3363 ye receiveG2983 notG3363 ofG1537 herG846 plaguesG4127.
ForG3754 herG846 sinsG266 have reachedG190+G2853 untoG891 heavenG3772, andG2532 GodG2316 hath rememberedG3421 herG846 iniquitiesG92.
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.
How muchG3745 she hath glorifiedG1392 herselfG1438, andG2532 lived deliciouslyG4763, so muchG5118 tormentG929 andG2532 sorrowG3997 giveG1325 herG846: forG3754 she saithG3004 inG1722 herG846 heartG2588, I sitG2521 a queenG938, andG2532 amG1510 noG3756 widowG5503, andG2532 shall seeG1492 noG3364 sorrowG3997.
ThereforeG5124+G1223 shallG2240 herG846 plaguesG4127 comeG2240 inG1722 oneG3391 dayG2250, deathG2288, andG2532 mourningG3997, andG2532 famineG3042; andG2532 she shall be utterly burnedG2618 withG1722 fireG4442: forG3754 strongG2478 is the LordG2962 GodG2316 whoG3588 judgethG2919 herG846.
RejoiceG2165 overG1909 herG846, thou heavenG3772, andG2532 ye holyG40 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396; forG3754 GodG2316 hath avengedG2917+G2919 youG5216 onG1537 herG846.
AndG2532 aG1520 mightyG2478 angelG32 took upG142 a stoneG3037 likeG5613 a greatG3173 millstoneG3458, andG2532 castG906 it intoG1519 the seaG2281, sayingG3004, ThusG3779 with violenceG3731 shallG906 that greatG3173 cityG4172 BabylonG897 be thrown downG906, andG2532 shall be foundG2147 no moreG3364 at allG2089.
AndG2532 the voiceG5456 of harpersG2790, andG2532 musiciansG3451, andG2532 of pipersG834, andG2532 trumpetersG4538, shall be heardG191 no moreG3364 at allG2089 inG1722 theeG4671; andG2532 noG3364+G3956 craftsmanG5079, of whatsoeverG3956 craftG5078 he be, shall be foundG2147 any moreG2089 inG1722 theeG4671; andG2532 the soundG5456 of a millstoneG3458 shall be heardG191 no moreG3364 at allG2089 inG1722 theeG4671;
AndG2532 the lightG5457 of a candleG3088 shall shineG5316 no moreG3364 at allG2089 inG1722 theeG4671; andG2532 the voiceG5456 of the bridegroomG3566 andG2532 of the brideG3565 shall be heardG191 no moreG3364 at allG2089 inG1722 theeG4671: forG3754 thyG4675 merchantsG1713 wereG2258 the great menG3175 of the earthG1093; forG3754 byG1722 thyG4675 sorceriesG5331 wereG4105 allG3956 nationsG1484 deceivedG4105.
AndG2532 inG1722 herG846 was foundG2147 the bloodG129 of prophetsG4396, andG2532 of saintsG40, andG2532 of allG3956 that were slainG4969 uponG1909 the earthG1093.
AndG2532 afterG3326 these thingsG5023 I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 of muchG4183 peopleG3793 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239; SalvationG4991, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 powerG1411, unto the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316:
ForG3754 trueG228 andG2532 righteousG1342 are hisG846 judgmentsG2920: forG3754 he hath judgedG2919 the greatG3173 whoreG4204, whichG3748 did corruptG5351 the earthG1093 withG1722 herG846 fornicationG4202, andG2532 hath avengedG1556 the bloodG129 of hisG846 servantsG1401 atG1537 herG846 handG5495.
AndG2532 againG1208 they saidG2046, AlleluiaG239. AndG2532 herG846 smokeG2586 rose upG305 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 andG2532 the fourG5064 beastsG2226 fell downG4098 andG2532 worshippedG4352 GodG2316 that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, AmenG281; AlleluiaG239.
AndG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1831 out ofG1537 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, PraiseG134 ourG2257 GodG2316, all yeG3956 hisG846 servantsG1401, andG2532 ye that fearG5399 himG846, bothG2532 smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173.
AndG2532 I heardG191 as it wereG5613 the voiceG5456 of a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of mightyG2478 thunderingsG1027, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239: forG3754 the LordG2962 GodG2316 omnipotentG3841 reignethG936.
Let us be gladG5463 andG2532 rejoiceG21, andG2532 giveG1325 honourG1391 to himG846: forG3754 the marriageG1062 of the LambG721 is comeG2064, andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135 hath madeG2090 herselfG1438 readyG2090.
