The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 concerning all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that was the firstH7224 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894;
The which JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 spakeH1696 unto all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, and to all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559,
From the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, even unto this dayH3117, that is the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 hath come unto me, and I have spokenH1696 unto you, rising earlyH7925 and speakingH1696; but ye have not hearkenedH8085.
And the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 unto you all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them; but ye have not hearkenedH8085, nor inclinedH5186 your earH241 to hearH8085.
They saidH559, Turn ye againH7725 now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, and dwellH3427 in the landH127 that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 unto you and to your fathersH1 forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769:
And goH3212 not afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, and provoke me not to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027; and I will do you no hurtH7489.
Yet ye have not hearkenedH8085 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; that ye might provoke me to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027 to your own hurtH7451.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Because ye have not heardH8085 my wordsH1697,
Behold, I will sendH7971 and takeH3947 all the familiesH4940 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650, and will bringH935 them against this landH776, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and against all these nationsH1471 round aboutH5439, and will utterly destroyH2763 them, and makeH7760 them an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, and perpetualH5769 desolationsH2723.
Moreover I will takeH6 from them the voiceH6963 of mirthH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the soundH6963 of the millstonesH7347, and the lightH216 of the candleH5216. {I will…: Heb. I will cause to perish from them}
And this whole landH776 shall be a desolationH2723, and an astonishmentH8047; and these nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 seventyH7657 yearsH8141.
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.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto me; TakeH3947 the wineH3196 cupH3563 of this furyH2534 at my handH3027, and cause all the nationsH1471, to whom I sendH7971 thee, to drinkH8248 it.
And they shall drinkH8354, and be movedH1607, and be madH1984, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 that I will sendH7971 among them.
Then tookH3947 I the cupH3563 at the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, and made all the nationsH1471 to drinkH8248, unto whom the LORDH3068 had sentH7971 me:
To wit, JerusalemH3389, and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the kingsH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, to makeH5414 them a desolationH2723, an astonishmentH8047, an hissingH8322, and a curseH7045; as it is this dayH3117;
PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and all his peopleH5971;
And all the mingledH6154 people, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of UzH5780, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and AshkelonH831, and AzzahH5804, and EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of AshdodH795,
EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983,
And all the kingsH4428 of TyrusH6865, and all the kingsH4428 of ZidonH6721, and the kingsH4428 of the islesH339 which are beyondH5676 the seaH3220, {isles: or, region by the sea side}
DedanH1719, and TemaH8485, and BuzH938, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285, {that…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of the hair polled}
And all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152, and all the kingsH4428 of the mingled peopleH6154 that dwellH7931 in the desertH4057,
And all the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, and all the kingsH4428 of ElamH5867, and all the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074,
And all the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, farH7350 and nearH7138, oneH376 with anotherH251, and all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776, which are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127: and the kingH4428 of SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 afterH310 them.
Therefore thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; DrinkH8354 ye, and be drunkenH7937, and spueH7006, and fallH5307, and riseH6965 no more, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 which I will sendH7971 among you.
And it shall be, if they refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 at thine handH3027 to drinkH8354, then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Ye shall certainlyH8354 drinkH8354.
For, lo, I beginH2490 to bring evilH7489 on the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and should ye be utterlyH5352 unpunishedH5352? Ye shall not be unpunishedH5352: for I will callH7121 for a swordH2719 upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {which…: Heb. upon which my name is called}
Therefore prophesyH5012 thou against them all these wordsH1697, and sayH559 unto them, The LORDH3068 shall roarH7580 from on highH4791, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from his holyH6944 habitationH4583; he shall mightilyH7580 roarH7580 upon his habitationH5116; he shall giveH6030 a shoutH1959, as they that treadH1869 the grapes, against all the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776.
A noiseH7588 shall comeH935 even to the endsH7097 of the earthH776; for the LORDH3068 hath a controversyH7379 with the nationsH1471, he will pleadH8199 with all fleshH1320; he will giveH5414 them that are wickedH7563 to the swordH2719, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Behold, evilH7451 shall go forthH3318 from nationH1471 to nationH1471, and a greatH1419 whirlwindH5591 shall be raised upH5782 from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776.
And the slainH2491 of the LORDH3068 shall be at that dayH3117 from one endH7097 of the earthH776 even unto the other endH7097 of the earthH776: they shall not be lamentedH5594, neither gatheredH622, nor buriedH6912; they shall be dungH1828 uponH6440 the groundH127.
HowlH3213, ye shepherdsH7462, and cryH2199; and wallowH6428 yourselves in the ashes, ye principalH117 of the flockH6629: for the daysH3117 of your slaughterH2873 and of your dispersionsH8600 are accomplishedH4390; and ye shall fallH5307 like a pleasantH2532 vesselH3627. {the days…: Heb. your days for slaughter} {a pleasant…: Heb. a vessel of desire}
And the shepherdsH7462 shall have no wayH4498 to fleeH6, nor the principalH117 of the flockH6629 to escapeH6413. {the shepherds…: Heb. flight shall perish from the shepherds, and escaping from, etc}
A voiceH6963 of the cryH6818 of the shepherdsH7462, and an howlingH3215 of the principalH117 of the flockH6629, shall be heard: for the LORDH3068 hath spoiledH7703 their pastureH4830.
And the peaceableH7965 habitationsH4999 are cut downH1826 becauseH6440 of the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068.
He hath forsakenH5800 his covertH5520, as the lionH3715: for their landH776 is desolateH8047 becauseH6440 of the fiercenessH2740 of the oppressorH3238, and becauseH6440 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. {desolate: Heb. a desolation}

For, lo, I will callH7121 all the familiesH4940 of the kingdomsH4467 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and they shall comeH935, and they shall setH5414 every oneH376 his throneH3678 at the enteringH6607 of the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389, and against all the wallsH2346 thereof round aboutH5439, and against all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
And now have I givenH5414 all these landsH776 into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650; and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 have I givenH5414 him also to serveH5647 him.
Then tookH3947 I the cupH3563 at the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, and made all the nationsH1471 to drinkH8248, unto whom the LORDH3068 had sentH7971 me:
To wit, JerusalemH3389, and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the kingsH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, to makeH5414 them a desolationH2723, an astonishmentH8047, an hissingH8322, and a curseH7045; as it is this dayH3117;

Lo, I will bringH935 a nationH1471 upon you from farH4801, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: it is a mightyH386 nationH1471, it is an ancientH5769 nationH1471, a nationH1471 whose languageH3956 thou knowestH3045 not, neither understandestH8085 what they sayH1696.
And the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 JeremiahH3414, and saidH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath pronouncedH1696 this evilH7451 upon this placeH4725.
And sendH7971 them to the kingH4428 of EdomH123, and to the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and to the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and to the kingH4428 of TyrusH6865, and to the kingH4428 of ZidonH6721, by the handH3027 of the messengersH4397 which comeH935 to JerusalemH3389 unto ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063;
And commandH6680 them to sayH559 unto their mastersH113, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Thus shall ye sayH559 unto your mastersH113; {to say…: or, concerning their masters, saying}
I have madeH6213 the earthH776, the manH120 and the beastH929 that are uponH6440 the groundH776, by my greatH1419 powerH3581 and by my outstretchedH5186 armH2220, and have givenH5414 it unto whom it seemedH5869 meetH3474 unto me.
And now have I givenH5414 all these landsH776 into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650; and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 have I givenH5414 him also to serveH5647 him.
And all nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 him, and his sonH1121, and his son'sH1121 sonH1121, until the very timeH6256 of his landH776 comeH935: and then manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 shall serveH5647 themselves of him.
And it shall come to pass, that the nationH1471 and kingdomH4467 which will not serveH5647 the same NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and that will not putH5414 their neckH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, that nationH1471 will I punishH6485, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, with the swordH2719, and with the famineH7458, and with the pestilenceH1698, until I have consumedH8552 them by his handH3027.
And I will deliverH5414 them to be removedH2189+H2113 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 for their hurtH7451, to be a reproachH2781 and a proverbH4912, a tauntH8148 and a curseH7045, in all placesH4725 whither I shall driveH5080 them. {to be removed: Heb. for removing, or, vexation}
And sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will sendH7971 and takeH3947 NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650, and will setH7760 his throneH3678 uponH4605 these stonesH68 that I have hidH2934; and he shall spreadH5186 his royal pavilionH8237 over them.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will bringH935 upon TyrusH6865 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, a kingH4428 of kingsH4428, from the northH6828, with horsesH5483, and with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and companiesH6951, and muchH7227 peopleH5971.
Then will I cut offH3772 IsraelH3478 outH6440 of the landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have hallowedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7971 of my sightH6440; and IsraelH3478 shall be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all peopleH5971:
O ye childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, gather yourselves to fleeH5756 out of the midstH7130 of JerusalemH3389, and blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in TekoaH8620, and set upH5375 a signH4864 of fire in BethhacceremH1021: for evilH7451 appearethH8259 out of the northH6828, and greatH1419 destructionH7667.
I have commandedH6680 my sanctified onesH6942, I have also calledH7121 my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will giveH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall takeH5375 her multitudeH1995, and takeH7997 her spoilH7998, and takeH962 her preyH957; and it shall be the wagesH7939 for his armyH2428. {take her spoil…: Heb. spoil her spoil, and prey her prey}
And at this houseH1004, which is highH5945, every one that passethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319; and they shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004?
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, a peopleH5971 comethH935 from the northH6828 countryH776, and a greatH1419 nationH1471 shall be raisedH5782 from the sidesH3411 of the earthH776.
They shall lay holdH2388 on bowH7198 and spearH3591; they are cruelH394, and have no mercyH7355; their voiceH6963 roarethH1993 like the seaH3220; and they rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, set in arrayH6186 as menH376 for warH4421 against thee, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726.
We have heardH8085 the fameH8089 thereof: our handsH3027 wax feebleH7503: anguishH6869 hath taken holdH2388 of us, and painH2427, as of a woman in travailH3205.
Go not forthH3318 into the fieldH7704, nor walkH3212 by the wayH1870; for the swordH2719 of the enemyH341 and fearH4032 is on every sideH5439.
O daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, girdH2296 thee with sackclothH8242, and wallowH6428 thyself in ashesH665: makeH6213 thee mourningH60, as for an only sonH3173, most bitterH8563 lamentationH4553: for the spoilerH7703 shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 upon us.
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.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also make the multitudeH1995 of EgyptH4714 to ceaseH7673 by the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
The snortingH5170 of his horsesH5483 was heardH8085 from DanH1835: the whole landH776 trembledH7493 at the soundH6963 of the neighingH4684 of his strong onesH47; for they are comeH935, and have devouredH398 the landH776, and allH4393 that is in it; the cityH5892, and those that dwellH3427 therein. {all…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to his anointedH4899, to CyrusH3566, whose right handH3225 I have holdenH2388, to subdueH7286 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him; and I will looseH6605 the loinsH4975 of kingsH4428, to openH6605 beforeH6440 him the two leaved gatesH1817; and the gatesH8179 shall not be shutH5462; {have…: or, strengthened}
He and his peopleH5971 with him, the terribleH6184 of the nationsH1471, shall be broughtH935 to destroyH7843 the landH776: and they shall drawH7324 their swordsH2719 against EgyptH4714, and fillH4390 the landH776 with the slainH2491.
And I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon you, that shall avengeH5358 the quarrelH5359 of my covenantH1285: and when ye are gathered togetherH622 withinH413 your citiesH5892, I will sendH7971 the pestilenceH1698 amongH8432 you; and ye shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And when I have brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of your breadH3899, tenH6235 womenH802 shall bakeH644 your breadH3899 in oneH259 ovenH8574, and they shall deliverH7725 you your breadH3899 againH7725 by weightH4948: and ye shall eatH398, and not be satisfiedH7646.
And if ye will not for all thisH2063 hearkenH8085 unto me, but walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
Then I will walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto you also in furyH2534; and I, evenH637 I, will chastiseH3256 you seven timesH7651 for your sinsH2403.
And ye shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121, and the fleshH1320 of your daughtersH1323 shall ye eatH398.
And I will destroyH8045 your high placesH1116, and cut downH3772 your imagesH2553, and castH5414 your carcasesH6297 upon the carcasesH6297 of your idolsH1544, and my soulH5315 shall abhorH1602 you.
And I will makeH5414 your citiesH5892 wasteH2723, and bringH8074 your sanctuariesH4720 unto desolationH8074, and I will not smellH7306 the savourH7381 of your sweet odoursH5207.
And I will bringH8074 the landH776 into desolationH8074: and your enemiesH341 which dwellH3427 therein shall be astonishedH8074 at it.
And I will scatterH2219 you among the heathenH1471, and will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 you: and your landH776 shall be desolateH8077, and your citiesH5892 wasteH2723.
Then shall the landH776 enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, as longH3117 as it lieth desolateH8074, and ye be in your enemies'H341 landH776; even then shall the landH776 restH7673, and enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676.
As long asH3117 it lieth desolateH8074 it shall restH7673; because it did not restH7673 in your sabbathsH7676, when ye dweltH3427 upon it.
And upon them that are leftH7604 alive of you I will sendH935 a faintnessH4816 into their heartsH3824 in the landsH776 of their enemiesH341; and the soundH6963 of a shakenH5086 leafH5929 shall chaseH7291 them; and they shall fleeH5127, as fleeingH4499 from a swordH2719; and they shall fallH5307 when none pursuethH7291. {shaken: Heb. driven}
And they shall fallH3782 oneH376 upon anotherH251, as it were beforeH6440 a swordH2719, when none pursuethH7291: and ye shall have no power to standH8617 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341.
And ye shall perishH6 among the heathenH1471, and the landH776 of your enemiesH341 shall eat you upH398.
And they that are leftH7604 of you shall pine awayH4743 in their iniquityH5771 in your enemies'H341 landsH776; and also in the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1 shall they pine awayH4743 with them.
If they shall confessH3034 their iniquityH5771, and the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1, with their trespassH4604 which they trespassedH4603 against me, and that also they have walkedH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
And that I also have walkedH3212 contraryH7147 unto them, and have broughtH935 them into the landH776 of their enemiesH341; if thenH176 their uncircumcisedH6189 heartsH3824 be humbledH3665, and they then acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771:
Then will I rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with JacobH3290, and also my covenantH1285 with IsaacH3327, and also my covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85 will I rememberH2142; and I will rememberH2142 the landH776.
The landH776 also shall be leftH5800 of them, and shall enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, while she lieth desolateH8074 without them: and they shall acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771: becauseH3282, even becauseH3282 they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and because their soulH5315 abhorredH1602 my statutesH2708.
And yetH637 for all thatH2063, when they beH1571 in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, I will not cast them awayH3988, neither will I abhorH1602 them, to destroy them utterlyH3615, and to breakH6565 my covenantH1285 with them: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
But I will for their sakes rememberH2142 the covenantH1285 of their ancestorsH7223, whom I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, that I might be their GodH430: I am the LORDH3068.
These are the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 and lawsH8451, which the LORDH3068 madeH5414 between him and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in mountH2022 SinaiH5514 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
SonH1121 of manH120, NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 causedH5647 his armyH2428 to serveH5647 a greatH1419 serviceH5656 against TyrusH6865: every headH7218 was made baldH7139, and every shoulderH3802 was peeledH4803: yet had he no wagesH7939, nor his armyH2428, for TyrusH6865, for the serviceH5656 that he had servedH5647 against it:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will giveH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall takeH5375 her multitudeH1995, and takeH7997 her spoilH7998, and takeH962 her preyH957; and it shall be the wagesH7939 for his armyH2428. {take her spoil…: Heb. spoil her spoil, and prey her prey}
I have givenH5414 him the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for his labourH6468 wherewith he servedH5647 against it, because they wroughtH6213 for me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {for his…: or, for his hire}
Moreover all these cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon thee, and shall pursueH7291 thee, and overtakeH5381 thee, till thou be destroyedH8045; because thou hearkenedstH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 which he commandedH6680 thee:
And they shall be upon thee for a signH226 and for a wonderH4159, and upon thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769.
Because thou servedstH5647 not the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with joyfulnessH8057, and with gladnessH2898 of heartH3824, for the abundanceH7230 of all things;
Therefore shalt thou serveH5647 thine enemiesH341 which the LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 against thee, in hungerH7458, and in thirstH6772, and in nakednessH5903, and in wantH2640 of all things: and he shall putH5414 a yokeH5923 of ironH1270 upon thy neckH6677, until he have destroyedH8045 thee.
The LORDH3068 shall bringH5375 a nationH1471 against thee from farH7350, from the endH7097 of the earthH776, as swift as the eagleH5404 fliethH1675; a nationH1471 whose tongueH3956 thou shalt not understandH8085; {understand: Heb. hear}
A nationH1471 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440, which shall not regardH5375 the personH6440 of the oldH2205, nor shew favourH2603 to the youngH5288: {of fierce…: Heb. strong of face}
The king'sH4428 heartH3820 is in the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, as the riversH6388 of waterH4325: he turnethH5186 it whithersoever he willH2654.
And he will lift upH5375 an ensignH5251 to the nationsH1471 from farH7350, and will hissH8319 unto them from the endH7097 of the earthH776: and, behold, they shall comeH935 with speedH4120 swiftlyH7031:
None shall be wearyH5889 nor stumbleH3782 among them; none shall slumberH5123 nor sleepH3462; neither shall the girdleH232 of their loinsH2504 be loosedH6605, nor the latchetH8288 of their shoesH5275 be brokenH5423:
Whose arrowsH2671 are sharpH8150, and all their bowsH7198 bentH1869, their horses'H5483 hoofsH6541 shall be countedH2803 like flintH6862, and their wheelsH1534 like a whirlwindH5492:
Their roaringH7581 shall be like a lionH3833, they shall roarH7580+H7580 like young lionsH3715: yea, they shall roarH5098, and lay holdH270 of the preyH2964, and shall carry it away safeH6403, and none shall deliverH5337 it.
And in that dayH3117 they shall roarH5098 against them like the roaringH5100 of the seaH3220: and if one lookH5027 unto the landH776, behold darknessH2822 and sorrowH6862, and the lightH216 is darkenedH2821 in the heavensH6183 thereof. {sorrow: or, distress} {and the light…: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof}
OH1945 AssyrianH804, the rodH7626 of mine angerH639, and the staffH4294 in their handH3027 is mine indignationH2195. {O…: or, Woe to the Assyrian: Heb. Asshur} {and: or, though}
And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issueH3318 from thee, which thou shalt begetH3205, shall they take awayH3947; and they shall be eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
For, lo, I raise upH6965 the ChaldeansH3778, that bitterH4751 and hastyH4116 nationH1471, which shall marchH1980 through the breadthH4800 of the landH776, to possessH3423 the dwellingplacesH4908 that are not theirs. {breadth: Heb. breadths}
They are terribleH366 and dreadfulH3372: their judgmentH4941 and their dignityH7613 shall proceedH3318 of themselves. {their judgment…: or, from them shall proceed the judgment of these, and the captivity of these}
Their horsesH5483 also are swifterH7043 than the leopardsH5246, and are more fierceH2300 than the eveningH6153 wolvesH2061: and their horsemenH6571 shall spreadH6335 themselves, and their horsemenH6571 shall comeH935 from farH7350; they shall flyH5774 as the eagleH5404 that hastethH2363 to eatH398. {fierce: Heb. sharp}
They shall comeH935 all for violenceH2555: their facesH6440 shall sup upH4041 as the east windH6921, and they shall gatherH622 the captivityH7628 as the sandH2344. {their…: or, the supping up of their faces, etc: or, their faces shall look (Heb. the opposition of their faces) toward the east}
And they shall scoffH7046 at the kingsH4428, and the princesH7336 shall be a scornH4890 unto them: they shall derideH7832 every strong holdH4013; for they shall heapH6651 dustH6083, and takeH3920 it.
