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 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.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 against the pastorsH7462 that feedH7462 my peopleH5971; Ye have scatteredH6327 my flockH6629, and driven them awayH5080, and have not visitedH6485 them: behold, I will visitH6485 upon you the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
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 his daysH3117 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927, and JehoiakimH3079 became his servantH5650 threeH7969 yearsH8141: then he turnedH7725 and rebelledH4775 against him.

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}

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.

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}

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.
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.
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}
To me belongeth vengeanceH5359, and recompenceH8005; their footH7272 shall slideH4131 in due timeH6256: for the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 is at handH7138, and the things that shall comeH6264 upon them make hasteH2363.
For the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, and repentH5162 himself for his servantsH5650, when he seethH7200 that their powerH3027 is goneH235, and there is noneH657 shut upH6113, or leftH5800. {power: Heb. hand}
And he shall sayH559, Where are their godsH430, their rockH6697 in whom they trustedH2620,
Which did eatH398 the fatH2459 of their sacrificesH2077, and drankH8354 the wineH3196 of their drink offeringsH5257? let them rise upH6965 and helpH5826 you, and be your protectionH5643. {your…: Heb. an hiding for you}
SeeH7200 now that I, even I, am he, and there is no godH430 with me: I killH4191, and I make aliveH2421; I woundH4272, and I healH7495: neither is there any that can deliverH5337 out of my handH3027.
For I lift upH5375 my handH3027 to heavenH8064, and sayH559, I liveH2416 for everH5769.
If I whetH8150 my glitteringH1300 swordH2719, and mine handH3027 take holdH270 on judgmentH4941; I will renderH7725 vengeanceH5359 to mine enemiesH6862, and will rewardH7999 them that hateH8130 me.
I will make mine arrowsH2671 drunkH7937 with bloodH1818, and my swordH2719 shall devourH398 fleshH1320; and that with the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491 and of the captivesH7633, from the beginningH7218 of revengesH6546 upon the enemyH341.
How is the hammerH6360 of the whole earthH776 cut asunderH1438 and brokenH7665! how is BabylonH894 become a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471!
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.
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.
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.
In the firstH259 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 I DanielH1840 understoodH995 by booksH5612 the numberH4557 of the yearsH8141, whereof the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, that he would accomplishH4390 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 in the desolationsH2723 of JerusalemH3389.
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.
A grievousH7186 visionH2380 is declaredH5046 unto me; the treacherous dealerH898 dealeth treacherouslyH898, and the spoilerH7703 spoilethH7703. Go upH5927, O ElamH5867: besiegeH6696, O MediaH4074; all the sighingH585 thereof have I made to ceaseH7673. {grievous: Heb. hard}
Therefore are my loinsH4975 filledH4390 with painH2479: pangsH6735 have taken holdH270 upon me, as the pangsH6735 of a woman that travailethH3205: I was bowed downH5753 at the hearingH8085 of it; I was dismayedH926 at the seeingH7200 of it.
My heartH3824 pantedH8582, fearfulnessH6427 affrightedH1204 me: the nightH5399 of my pleasureH2837 hath he turnedH7760 into fearH2731 unto me. {heart…: or, mind wandered} {turned: Heb. put}
PrepareH6186 the tableH7979, watchH6822 in the watchtowerH6844, eatH398, drinkH8354: ariseH6965, ye princesH8269, and anointH4886 the shieldH4043.
For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me, GoH3212, setH5975 a watchmanH6822, let him declareH5046 what he seethH7200.
And he sawH7200 a chariotH7393 with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571, a chariotH7393 of assesH2543, and a chariotH7393 of camelsH1581; and he hearkenedH7181 diligentlyH7182 with muchH7227 heedH7182:
And he criedH7121, A lionH738: My lordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 upon the watchtowerH4707 in the daytimeH3119, and I am setH5324 in my wardH4931 whole nightsH3915: {he…: or, cried as a lion} {whole…: or, every night}
And, behold, here comethH935 a chariotH7393 of menH376, with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571. And he answeredH6030 and saidH559, BabylonH894 is fallenH5307, is fallenH5307; and all the graven imagesH6456 of her godsH430 he hath brokenH7665 unto the groundH776.
O my threshingH4098, and the cornH1121 of my floorH1637: that which I have heardH8085 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, have I declaredH5046 unto you. {corn: Heb. son}
The burdenH4853 of DumahH1746. He callethH7121 to me out of SeirH8165, WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915? WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915?
The watchmanH8104 saidH559, The morningH1242 comethH857, and also the nightH3915: if ye will enquireH1158, enquireH1158 ye: returnH7725, comeH857.
The burdenH4853 upon ArabiaH6152. In the forestH3293 in ArabiaH6152 shall ye lodgeH3885, O ye travelling companiesH736 of DedanimH1720.
The inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 of TemaH8485 broughtH857 waterH4325 to himH7125 that was thirstyH6771, they preventedH6923 with their breadH3899 him that fledH5074. {brought: or, bring ye}
For they fledH5074 fromH6440 the swordsH2719, fromH6440 the drawnH5203 swordH2719, and fromH6440 the bentH1869 bowH7198, and fromH6440 the grievousnessH3514 of warH4421. {from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc}
For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me, Within a yearH8141, according to the yearsH8141 of an hirelingH7916, and all the gloryH3519 of KedarH6938 shall failH3615:
And the residueH7605 of the numberH4557 of archersH7198, the mighty menH1368 of the childrenH1121 of KedarH6938, shall be diminishedH4591: for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath spokenH1696 it. {archers: Heb. bows}
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.
BelH1078 boweth downH3766, NeboH5015 stoopethH7164, their idolsH6091 were upon the beastsH2416, and upon the cattleH929: your carriagesH5385 were heavy loadenH6006; they are a burdenH4853 to the wearyH5889 beast.
They stoopH7164, they bow downH3766 togetherH3162; they couldH3201 not deliverH4422 the burdenH4853, but themselvesH5315 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. {themselves: Heb. their soul}
HearkenH8085 unto me, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and all the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, which are borneH6006 by me from the bellyH990, which are carriedH5375 from the wombH7356:
And even to your old ageH2209 I am he; and even to hoar hairsH7872 will I carryH5445 you: I have madeH6213, and I will bearH5375; even I will carryH5445, and will deliverH4422 you.
To whom will ye likenH1819 me, and make me equalH7737, and compareH4911 me, that we may be likeH1819?
They lavishH2107 goldH2091 out of the bagH3599, and weighH8254 silverH3701 in the balanceH7070, and hireH7936 a goldsmithH6884; and he makethH6213 it a godH410: they fall downH5456, yea, they worshipH7812.
They bearH5375 him upon the shoulderH3802, they carryH5445 him, and set him in his placeH3240, and he standethH5975; from his placeH4725 shall he not removeH4185: yea, one shall cryH6817 unto him, yet can he not answerH6030, nor saveH3467 him out of his troubleH6869.
RememberH2142 this, and shew yourselves menH377: bring it againH7725 to mindH3820, O ye transgressorsH6586.
RememberH2142 the former thingsH7223 of oldH5769: for I am GodH410, and there is none else; I am GodH430, and there is noneH657 likeH3644 me,
DeclaringH5046 the endH319 from the beginningH7225, and from ancient timesH6924 the things that are not yet doneH6213, sayingH559, My counselH6098 shall standH6965, and I will doH6213 all my pleasureH2656:
CallingH7121 a ravenous birdH5861 from the eastH4217, the manH376 that executeth my counselH6098 from a farH4801 countryH776: yea, I have spokenH1696 it, I will also bringH935 it to pass; I have purposedH3335 it, I will also doH6213 it. {that…: Heb. of my counsel}
HearkenH8085 unto me, ye stoutheartedH47+H3820, that are far fromH7350 righteousnessH6666:
I bring nearH7126 my righteousnessH6666; it shall not be far offH7368, and my salvationH8668 shall not tarryH309: and I will placeH5414 salvationH8668 in ZionH6726 for IsraelH3478 my gloryH8597.
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.
BelshazzarH1113 the kingH4430 madeH5648 a greatH7229 feastH3900 to a thousandH506 of his lordsH7261, and drankH8355 wineH2562 beforeH6903 the thousandH506.
BelshazzarH1113, whiles he tastedH2942 the wineH2562, commandedH560 to bringH858 the goldenH1722 and silverH3702 vesselsH3984 which his fatherH2 NebuchadnezzarH5020 had takenH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 which was in JerusalemH3390; that the kingH4430, and his princesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904, might drinkH8355 therein. {father: or, grandfather} {taken: Cald. brought forth}
ThenH116 they broughtH858 the goldenH1722 vesselsH3984 that were takenH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 which was at JerusalemH3390; and the kingH4430, and his princesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904, drankH8355 in them.
They drankH8355 wineH2562, and praisedH7624 the godsH426 of goldH1722, and of silverH3702, of brassH5174, of ironH6523, of woodH636, and of stoneH69.
In the same hourH8160 came forthH5312 fingersH677 of a man'sH606 handH3028, and wroteH3790 over againstH6903 the candlestickH5043 uponH5922 the plaisterH1528 of the wallH3797 of the king'sH4430 palaceH1965: and the kingH4430 sawH2370 the partH6447 of the handH3028 that wroteH3790.
ThenH116 the king'sH4430 countenanceH2122 was changedH8133, and his thoughtsH7476 troubledH927 him, so that the jointsH7001 of his loinsH2783 were loosedH8271, and his kneesH755 smoteH5368 oneH1668 against anotherH1668. {countenance: Cald. brightnesses} {was changed: Cald. changed it} {joints: or, girdles: Cald. bindings, or, knots}
The kingH4430 criedH7123 aloudH2429 to bringH5954 in the astrologersH826, the ChaldeansH3779, and the soothsayersH1505. And the kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560 to the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895, WhosoeverH606+H3606 shall readH7123 thisH1836 writingH3792, and shewH2324 me the interpretationH6591 thereof, shall be clothedH3848 with scarletH711, and have a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 his neckH6676, and shall be the thirdH8523 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437. {aloud: Cald. with might} {scarlet: or, purple}
ThenH116 cameH5954 in allH3606 the king'sH4430 wiseH2445 men: but they couldH3546 notH3809 readH7123 the writingH3792, nor make knownH3046 to the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591 thereof.
ThenH116 was kingH4430 BelshazzarH1113 greatlyH7690 troubledH927, and his countenanceH2122 was changedH8133 in himH5922, and his lordsH7261 were astoniedH7672. {countenance: Cald. brightnesses}
Now the queenH4433, by reasonH6903 of the wordsH4406 of the kingH4430 and his lordsH7261, cameH5954 into the banquetH4961 houseH1005: and the queenH4433 spakeH6032 and saidH560, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957: let notH409 thy thoughtsH7476 troubleH927 thee, nor let thy countenanceH2122 be changedH8133:
There isH383 a manH1400 in thy kingdomH4437, in whom is the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426; and in the daysH3118 of thy fatherH2 lightH5094 and understandingH7924 and wisdomH2452, like the wisdomH2452 of the godsH426, was foundH7912 in him; whom the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2, the kingH4430, I say, thy fatherH2, madeH6966 masterH7229 of the magiciansH2749, astrologersH826, ChaldeansH3779, and soothsayersH1505; {father: or, grandfather}
Forasmuch asH6903+H3606 an excellentH3493 spiritH7308, and knowledgeH4486, and understandingH7924, interpretingH6590 of dreamsH2493, and shewingH263 of hard sentencesH280, and dissolvingH8271 of doubtsH7001, were foundH7912 in the same DanielH1841, whom the kingH4430 namedH7761+H8036 BelteshazzarH1096: nowH3705 let DanielH1841 be calledH7123, and he will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591. {interpreting: or, of an interpreter} {dissolving: or, of a dissolver} {doubts: Cald. knots}
ThenH116 was DanielH1841 brought inH5954 beforeH6925 the kingH4430. And the kingH4430 spakeH6032 and saidH560 unto DanielH1841, Art thouH607 that DanielH1841, which art ofH4481 the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547 of JudahH3061, whom the kingH4430 my fatherH2 broughtH858 out ofH4481 JewryH3061? {father: or, grandfather}
I have even heardH8086 of thee, that the spiritH7308 of the godsH426 is in theeH5922, and that lightH5094 and understandingH7924 and excellentH3493 wisdomH2452 is foundH7912 in thee.
And nowH3705 the wiseH2445 men, the astrologersH826, have been broughtH5954 in beforeH6925 me, that they should readH7123 thisH1836 writingH3792, and make knownH3046 unto me the interpretationH6591 thereof: but they couldH3546 notH3809 shewH2324 the interpretationH6591 of the thingH4406:
And IH576 have heardH8086 of theeH5922, that thou canstH3202 makeH6590 interpretationsH6591, and dissolveH8271 doubtsH7001: nowH3705 ifH2006 thou canstH3202 readH7123 the writingH3792, and make knownH3046 to me the interpretationH6591 thereof, thou shalt be clothedH3848 with scarletH711, and have a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 thy neckH6676, and shalt be the thirdH8531 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437. {make interpretations: Cald. interpret, etc}
ThenH116 DanielH1841 answeredH6032 and saidH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, Let thy giftsH4978 beH1934 to thyself, and giveH3052 thy rewardsH5023 to anotherH321; yetH1297 I will readH7123 the writingH3792 unto the kingH4430, and make knownH3046 to him the interpretationH6591. {rewards: or, fee}
O thouH607 kingH4430, the most highH5943 GodH426 gaveH3052 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2 a kingdomH4437, and majestyH7238, and gloryH3367, and honourH1923:
And forH4481 the majestyH7238 that he gaveH3052 him, allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, trembledH1934+H2112 and fearedH1763 beforeH4481 himH6925: whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he slewH1934+H6992; and whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he kept aliveH1934+H2418; and whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he set upH1934+H7313; and whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he put downH1934+H8214.
But when his heartH3825 was lifted upH7313, and his mindH7308 hardenedH8631 in prideH2103, he was deposedH5182 fromH4481 his kinglyH4437 throneH3764, and they tookH5709 his gloryH3367 from himH4481: {in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Cald. made to come down}
And he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 the sonsH1123 of menH606; and his heartH3825 was madeH7739 likeH5974 the beastsH2423, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wild assesH6167: they fedH2939 him with grassH6211 like oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065; tillH5705 he knewH3046 that the most highH5943 GodH426 ruledH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and that he appointethH6966 overH5922 it whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634. {his heart…: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
And thouH607 his sonH1247, O BelshazzarH1113, hast notH3809 humbledH8214 thine heartH3825, thoughH6903 thou knewestH3046 allH3606 thisH1836;
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
ThenH116 was the partH6447 of the handH3028 sentH7972 fromH4481 himH6925; and thisH1836 writingH3792 was writtenH7560.
And thisH1836 is the writingH3792 that was writtenH7560, MENEH4484, MENEH4484, TEKELH8625, UPHARSINH6537.
ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591 of the thingH4406: MENEH4484; GodH426 hath numberedH4483 thy kingdomH4437, and finishedH8000 it.
TEKELH8625; Thou art weighedH8625 in the balancesH3977, and art foundH7912 wantingH2627.
PERESH6537; Thy kingdomH4437 is dividedH6537, and givenH3052 to the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540.
ThenH116 commandedH560 BelshazzarH1113, and they clothedH3848 DanielH1841 with scarletH711, and put a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 his neckH6676, and made a proclamationH3745 concerningH5922 him, that he should beH1934 the thirdH8531 rulerH7990 in the kingdomH4437.
In that nightH3916 was BelshazzarH1113 the kingH4430 of the ChaldeansH3779 slainH6992.
And DariusH1868 the MedianH4077 tookH6902 the kingdomH4437, being about threescoreH8361 and twoH8648 yearsH8140 oldH1247. {being…: Cald. he as the son of, etc} {about: or, now}
Behold, I am against thee, O destroyingH4889 mountainH2022, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which destroyestH7843 all the earthH776: and I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and roll thee downH1556 from the rocksH5553, and will makeH5414 thee a burntH8316 mountainH2022.
I will standH5975 upon my watchH4931, and setH3320 me upon the towerH4692, and will watchH6822 to seeH7200 what he will sayH1696 unto me, and what I shall answerH7725 when I am reprovedH8433. {tower: Heb. fenced place} {unto me: or, in me} {when…: or, when I am argued with: Heb. upon my reproof, or, arguing}
And the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 me, and saidH559, WriteH3789 the visionH2377, and make it plainH874 upon tablesH3871, that he may runH7323 that readethH7121 it.
For the visionH2377 is yet for an appointed timeH4150, but at the endH7093 it shall speakH6315, and not lieH3576: though it tarryH4102, waitH2442 for it; because it will surelyH935 comeH935, it will not tarryH309.
Behold, his soulH5315 which is lifted upH6075 is not uprightH3474 in him: but the justH6662 shall liveH2421 by his faithH530.
Yea also, because he transgressethH898 by wineH3196, he is a proudH3093 manH1397, neither keepeth at homeH5115, who enlargethH7337 his desireH5315 as hellH7585, and is as deathH4194, and cannot be satisfiedH7646, but gatherethH622 unto him all nationsH1471, and heapethH6908 unto him all peopleH5971: {Yea…: or, How much more}
Shall not all these take upH5375 a parableH4912 against him, and a tauntingH4426 proverbH2420 against him, and sayH559, WoeH1945 to him that increasethH7235 that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladethH3513 himself with thick clayH5671! {Woe…: or, Ho, he}
Shall they not rise upH6965 suddenlyH6621 that shall biteH5391 thee, and awakeH3364 that shall vexH2111 thee, and thou shalt be for bootiesH4933 unto them?
Because thou hast spoiledH7997 manyH7227 nationsH1471, all the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971 shall spoilH7997 thee; because of men'sH120 bloodH1818, and for the violenceH2555 of the landH776, of the cityH7151, and of all that dwellH3427 therein. {blood: Heb. bloods}
WoeH1945 to him that covetethH1214 an evilH7451 covetousnessH1215 to his houseH1004, that he may setH7760 his nestH7064 on highH4791, that he may be deliveredH5337 from the powerH3709 of evilH7451! {coveteth…: or, gaineth and evil gain} {power…: Heb. palm of the hand}
Thou hast consultedH3289 shameH1322 to thy houseH1004 by cutting offH7096 manyH7227 peopleH5971, and hast sinnedH2398 against thy soulH5315.
For the stoneH68 shall cry outH2199 of the wallH7023, and the beam outH3714 of the timberH6086 shall answerH6030 it. {beam: or, piece, or, fastening} {answer it: or, witness against it}
WoeH1945 to him that buildethH1129 a townH5892 with bloodH1818, and stablishethH3559 a cityH7151 by iniquityH5766! {blood: Heb. bloods}
Behold, is it not of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 that the peopleH5971 shall labourH3021 in the veryH1767 fireH784, and the peopleH3816 shall wearyH3286 themselves for veryH1767 vanityH7385? {for…: or, in vain?}
For the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the knowledgeH3045 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220. {with…: or, by knowing the glory}
WoeH1945 unto him that giveth his neighbourH7453 drinkH8248, that puttestH5596 thy bottleH2573 to him, and makest him drunkenH7937 also, that thou mayest lookH5027 on their nakednessH4589!
Thou art filledH7646 with shameH7036 for gloryH3519: drinkH8354 thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncoveredH6188: the cupH3563 of the LORD'SH3068 right handH3225 shall be turnedH5437 unto thee, and shameful spewingH7022 shall be on thy gloryH3519. {with…: or, more with shame than with glory}
For the violenceH2555 of LebanonH3844 shall coverH3680 thee, and the spoilH7701 of beastsH929, which made them afraidH2865, because of men'sH120 bloodH1818, and for the violenceH2555 of the landH776, of the cityH7151, and of all that dwellH3427 therein.
What profitethH3276 the graven imageH6459 that the makerH3335 thereof hath gravenH6458 it; the molten imageH4541, and a teacherH3384 of liesH8267, that the makerH3335 of his workH3336 trustethH982 therein, to makeH6213 dumbH483 idolsH457? {maker of…: Heb. fashioner of his fashion}
WoeH1945 unto him that saithH559 to the woodH6086, AwakeH6974; to the dumbH1748 stoneH68, AriseH5782, it shall teachH3384! Behold, it is laidH8610 over with goldH2091 and silverH3701, and there is no breathH7307 at all in the midstH7130 of it.
But the LORDH3068 is in his holyH6944 templeH1964: let all the earthH776 keep silenceH2013 beforeH6440 him. {let…: Heb. be silent all the earth before him}
And they shall not takeH3947 of thee a stoneH68 for a cornerH6438, nor a stoneH68 for foundationsH4146; but thou shalt be desolateH8077 for everH5769, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {desolate…: Heb. everlasting desolations}
AndG2532 afterG3326 these thingsG5023 I sawG1492 anotherG243 angelG32 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, havingG2192 greatG3173 powerG1849; andG2532 the earthG1093 was lightenedG5461 withG1537 hisG846 gloryG1391.
AndG2532 he criedG2896 mightilyG2479 withG1722 a strongG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, BabylonG897 the greatG3173 is fallenG4098, is fallenG4098, andG2532 is becomeG1096 the habitationG2732 of devilsG1142, andG2532 the holdG5438 of everyG3956 foulG169 spiritG4151, andG2532 a cageG5438 of everyG3956 uncleanG169 andG2532 hatefulG3404 birdG3732.
ForG3754 allG3956 nationsG1484 have drunkG4095 ofG1537 the wineG3631 of the wrathG2372 of herG846 fornicationG4202, andG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 have committed fornicationG4203 withG3326 herG846, andG2532 the merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 are waxed richG4147 throughG1537 the abundanceG1411 of herG846 delicaciesG4764. {abundance: or, power}
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.
AndG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, whoG3588 have committed fornicationG4203 andG2532 lived deliciouslyG4763 withG3326 herG846, shall bewailG2799 herG846, andG2532 lamentG2875 forG1909 herG846, whenG3752 they shall seeG991 the smokeG2586 of herG846 burningG4451,
StandingG2476 afarG3113 offG575 forG1223 the fearG5401 of herG846 tormentG929, sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172 BabylonG897, that mightyG2478 cityG4172! forG3754 inG1722 oneG3391 hourG5610 isG2064 thyG4675 judgmentG2920 comeG2064.
AndG2532 the merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 shall weepG2799 andG2532 mournG3996 overG1909 herG846; forG3754 no manG3762 buyethG59 theirG846 merchandiseG1117 any moreG3765:
The merchandiseG1117 of goldG5557, andG2532 silverG696, andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037, andG2532 of pearlsG3135, andG2532 fine linenG1040, andG2532 purpleG4209, andG2532 silkG4596, andG2532 scarletG2847, andG2532 allG3956 thyineG2367 woodG3586, andG2532 all mannerG3956 vesselsG4632 of ivoryG1661, andG2532 all mannerG3956 vesselsG4632 ofG1537 most preciousG5093 woodG3586, andG2532 of brassG5475, andG2532 ironG4604, andG2532 marbleG3139, {thyine: or, sweet}
AndG2532 cinnamonG2792, andG2532 odoursG2368, andG2532 ointmentsG3464, andG2532 frankincenseG3030, andG2532 wineG3631, andG2532 oilG1637, andG2532 fine flourG4585, andG2532 wheatG4621, andG2532 beastsG2934, andG2532 sheepG4263, andG2532 horsesG2462, andG2532 chariotsG4480, andG2532 slavesG4983, andG2532 soulsG5590 of menG444. {slaves: or, bodies}
AndG2532 the fruitsG3703 that thyG4675 soulG5590 lusted afterG1939 are departedG565 fromG575 theeG4675, andG2532 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 were daintyG3045 andG2532 goodlyG2986 are departedG565 fromG575 theeG4675, andG2532 thou shalt findG2147 themG846 no moreG3765 at allG3364.
The merchantsG1713 of these thingsG5130, whichG3588 were made richG4147 byG575 herG846, shall standG2476 afarG3113 offG575 forG1223 the fearG5401 of herG846 tormentG929, weepingG2799 andG2532 wailingG3996,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172, that was clothed inG4016 fine linenG1039, andG2532 purpleG4210, andG2532 scarletG2847, andG2532 deckedG5558 withG1722 goldG5557, andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037, andG2532 pearlsG3135!
ForG3754 in oneG3391 hourG5610 so greatG5118 richesG4149 is come to noughtG2049. AndG2532 everyG3956 shipmasterG2942, andG2532 allG3956 the companyG3658 inG1909 shipsG4143, andG2532 sailorsG3492, andG2532 as many asG3745 tradeG2038 by seaG2281, stoodG2476 afarG3113 offG575,
AndG2532 criedG2896 when they sawG3708 the smokeG2586 of herG846 burningG4451, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 city is likeG3664 unto this greatG3173 cityG4172!
AndG2532 they castG906 dustG5522 onG1909 theirG846 headsG2776, andG2532 criedG2896, weepingG2799 andG2532 wailingG3996, sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172, whereinG1722+G3739 were made richG4147 allG3956 that hadG2192 shipsG4143 inG1722 the seaG2281 by reason ofG1537 herG846 costlinessG5094! forG3754 in oneG3391 hourG5610 is she made desolateG2049.
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.
Then shalt thou sayH559, O LORDH3068, thou hast spokenH1696 against this placeH4725, to cut it offH3772, that none shall remainH3427 in it, neither manH120 nor beastH929, but that it shall be desolateH8077 for everH5769. {desolate: Heb. desolations}
And it shall be, when thou hast made an endH3615 of readingH7121 this bookH5612, that thou shalt bindH7194 a stoneH68 to it, and castH7993 it into the midstH8432 of EuphratesH6578:
And thou shalt sayH559, Thus shall BabylonH894 sinkH8257, and shall not riseH6965 fromH6440 the evilH7451 that I will bringH935 upon her: and they shall be wearyH3286. Thus far are the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414.
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}
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.
For the watersH4325 of NimrimH5249 shall be desolateH4923: for the hayH2682 is withered awayH3001, the grassH1877 failethH3615, there is no green thingH3418. {desolate: Heb. desolations}
In the yearH8141 that TartanH8661 cameH935 unto AshdodH795, (when SargonH5623 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 him,) and foughtH3898 against AshdodH795, and tookH3920 it;
At the same timeH6256 spakeH1696 the LORDH3068 byH3027 IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, sayingH559, GoH3212 and looseH6605 the sackclothH8242 from off thy loinsH4975, and put offH2502 thy shoeH5275 from thy footH7272.
