The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 against BabylonH894 and against the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 byH3027 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030. {by…: Heb. by the hand of Jeremiah}
DeclareH5046 ye among the nationsH1471, and publishH8085, and set upH5375 a standardH5251; publishH8085, and concealH3582 not: sayH559, BabylonH894 is takenH3920, BelH1078 is confoundedH3001, MerodachH4781 is broken in piecesH2865; her idolsH6091 are confoundedH3001, her imagesH1544 are broken in piecesH2865. {set up: Heb. lift up}
For out of the northH6828 there cometh upH5927 a nationH1471 against her, which shall makeH7896 her landH776 desolateH8047, and none shall dwellH3427 therein: they shall removeH5110, they shall departH1980, both manH120 and beastH929.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall comeH935, they and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 togetherH3162, goingH1980 and weepingH1058: they shall goH3212, and seekH1245 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
They shall askH7592 the wayH1870 to ZionH6726 with their facesH6440 thitherwardH2008, saying, ComeH935, and let us joinH3867 ourselves to the LORDH3068 in a perpetualH5769 covenantH1285 that shall not be forgottenH7911.
My peopleH5971 hath been lostH6 sheepH6629: their shepherdsH7462 have caused them to go astrayH8582, they have turned them awayH7725+H7726 on the mountainsH2022: they have goneH1980 from mountainH2022 to hillH1389, they have forgottenH7911 their restingplaceH7258. {restingplace: Heb. place to lie down in}
All that foundH4672 them have devouredH398 them: and their adversariesH6862 saidH559, We offendH816 not, because they have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068, the habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, even the LORDH3068, the hopeH4723 of their fathersH1.
RemoveH5110 out of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and go forthH3318+H3318 out of the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and be as the he goatsH6260 beforeH6440 the flocksH6629.
For, lo, I will raiseH5782 and cause to come upH5927 against BabylonH894 an assemblyH6951 of greatH1419 nationsH1471 from the northH6828 countryH776: and they shall set themselves in arrayH6186 against her; from thence she shall be takenH3920: their arrowsH2671 shall be as of a mightyH1368 expert manH7919+H7921; none shall returnH7725 in vainH7387. {expert…: or, destroyer}
And ChaldeaH3778 shall be a spoilH7998: all that spoilH7997 her shall be satisfiedH7646, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Because ye were gladH8055, because ye rejoicedH5937, O ye destroyersH8154 of mine heritageH5159, because ye are grown fatH6335 as the heiferH5697 at grassH1877+H1758, and bellowH6670 as bullsH47; {fat: Heb. big, or, corpulent} {bellow…: or, neigh as steeds}
Your motherH517 shall be soreH3966 confoundedH954; she that bareH3205 you shall be ashamedH2659: behold, the hindermostH319 of the nationsH1471 shall be a wildernessH4057, a dry landH6723, and a desertH6160.
Because of the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 it shall not be inhabitedH3427, but it shall be wholly desolateH8077: every one that goethH5674 by BabylonH894 shall be astonishedH8074, and hissH8319 at all her plaguesH4347.
Put yourselves in arrayH6186 against BabylonH894 round aboutH5439: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, shootH3034 at her, spareH2550 no arrowsH2671: for she hath sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068.
ShoutH7321 against her round aboutH5439: she hath givenH5414 her handH3027: her foundationsH803 are fallenH5307, her wallsH2346 are thrown downH2040: for it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068: take vengeanceH5358 upon her; as she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her.
Cut offH3772 the sowerH2232 from BabylonH894, and him that handlethH8610 the sickleH4038 in the timeH6256 of harvestH7105: for fearH6440 of the oppressingH3238 swordH2719 they shall turnH6437 every oneH376 to his peopleH5971, and they shall fleeH5127 every oneH376 to his own landH776. {sickle; or, scythe}
IsraelH3478 is a scatteredH6340 sheepH7716; the lionsH738 have driven him awayH5080: firstH7223 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hath devouredH398 him; and lastH314 this NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath broken his bonesH6105.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and his landH776, as I have punishedH6485 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
And I will bringH7725 IsraelH3478 againH7725 to his habitationH5116, and he shall feedH7462 on CarmelH3760 and BashanH1316, and his soulH5315 shall be satisfiedH7646 upon mountH2022 EphraimH669 and GileadH1568.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the iniquityH5771 of IsraelH3478 shall be sought forH1245, and there shall be none; and the sinsH2403 of JudahH3063, and they shall not be foundH4672: for I will pardonH5545 them whom I reserveH7604.
Go upH5927 against the landH776 of MerathaimH4850, even against it, and against the inhabitantsH3427 of PekodH6489: wasteH2717 and utterly destroyH2763 afterH310 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee. {of Merathaim: or, of the rebels} {Pekod: or, Visitation}
A soundH6963 of battleH4421 is in the landH776, and of greatH1419 destructionH7667.
How is the hammerH6360 of the whole earthH776 cut asunderH1438 and brokenH7665! how is BabylonH894 become a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471!
I have laid a snareH3369 for thee, and thou art also takenH3920, O BabylonH894, and thou wast not awareH3045: thou art foundH4672, and also caughtH8610, because thou hast strivenH1624 against the LORDH3068.
The LORDH3068 hath openedH6605 his armouryH214, and hath brought forthH3318 the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195: for this is the workH4399 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778.
ComeH935 against her from the utmost borderH7093, openH6605 her storehousesH3965: cast her upH5549 as heapsH6194, and destroy her utterlyH2763: let nothing of her be leftH7611. {from…: Heb. from the end} {cast…: or, tread her}
SlayH2717 all her bullocksH6499; let them go downH3381 to the slaughterH2874: woeH1945 unto them! for their dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486.
The voiceH6963 of them that fleeH5127 and escape outH6405 of the landH776 of BabylonH894, to declareH5046 in ZionH6726 the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964.
Call togetherH8085 the archersH7228 against BabylonH894: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, campH2583 against it round aboutH5439; let none thereof escapeH6413: recompenseH7999 her according to her workH6467; according to all that she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her: for she hath been proudH2102 against the LORDH3068, against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore shall her young menH970 fallH5307 in the streetsH7339, and all her menH582 of warH4421 shall be cut offH1826 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proudH2087, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635: for thy dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 thee. {most…: Heb. pride}
And the most proudH2087 shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and none shall raise him upH6965: and I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 all round aboutH5439 him. {the…: Heb. pride}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 were oppressedH6231 togetherH3162: and all that took them captivesH7617 held them fastH2388; they refusedH3985 to let them goH7971.
Their RedeemerH1350 is strongH2389; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: he shall throughlyH7378 pleadH7378 their causeH7379, that he may give restH7280 to the landH776, and disquietH7264 the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894.
A swordH2719 is upon the ChaldeansH3778, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894, and upon her princesH8269, and upon her wiseH2450 men.
A swordH2719 is upon the liarsH907; and they shall doteH2973: a swordH2719 is upon her mighty menH1368; and they shall be dismayedH2865. {liars: or, chief stays: Heb. bars}
A swordH2719 is upon their horsesH5483, and upon their chariotsH7393, and upon all the mingled peopleH6154 that are in the midstH8432 of her; and they shall become as womenH802: a swordH2719 is upon her treasuresH214; and they shall be robbedH962.
A droughtH2721 is upon her watersH4325; and they shall be dried upH3001: for it is the landH776 of graven imagesH6456, and they are madH1984 upon their idolsH367.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desertH6728 with the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall dwellH3427 there, and the owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH3427 therein: and it shall be no more inhabitedH3427 for everH5331; neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
As GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; so shall no manH376 abideH3427 there, neither shall any sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 therein.
Behold, a peopleH5971 shall comeH935 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 nationH1471, and manyH7227 kingsH4428 shall be raised upH5782 from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776.
They shall holdH2388 the bowH7198 and the lanceH3591: they are cruelH394, and will not shew mercyH7355: their voiceH6963 shall roarH1993 like the seaH3220, and they shall rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, every one put in arrayH6186, like a manH376 to the battleH4421, against thee, O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894.
The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath heardH8085 the reportH8088 of them, and his handsH3027 waxed feebleH7503: anguishH6869 took holdH2388 of him, and pangsH2427 as of a woman in travailH3205.
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 unto the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will makeH7323 them suddenlyH7280 run awayH7323+H7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me to plead?}
Therefore hearH8085 ye the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that he hath takenH3289 against BabylonH894; and his purposesH4284, that he hath purposedH2803 against the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778: Surely the leastH6810 of the flockH6629 shall draw them outH5498: surely he shall make their habitationH5116 desolateH8074 with them.
At the noiseH6963 of the takingH8610 of BabylonH894 the earthH776 is movedH7493, and the cryH2201 is heardH8085 among the nationsH1471.

And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I will destroyH4229 manH120 whom I have createdH1254 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127; both manH120, andH5704 beastH929, and the creeping thingH7431, and the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064; for it repentethH5162 me that I have madeH6213 them. {both…: Heb. from man unto beast}
Set ye upH5375 a standardH5251 in the landH776, blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 among the nationsH1471, prepareH6942 the nationsH1471 against her, call togetherH8085 against her the kingdomsH4467 of AraratH780, MinniH4508, and AshchenazH813; appointH6485 a captainH2951 against her; cause the horsesH5483 to come upH5927 as the roughH5569 caterpillersH3218.
BabylonH894 is suddenlyH6597 fallenH5307 and destroyedH7665: howlH3213 for her; takeH3947 balmH6875 for her painH4341, if so be she may be healedH7495.
For I will passH5674 through the landH776 of EgyptH4714 this nightH3915, and will smiteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, both manH120 and beastH929; and against all the godsH430 of EgyptH4714 I will executeH6213 judgmentH8201: I am the LORDH3068. {gods: or, princes}
Then the heavenH8064 and the earthH776, and all that is therein, shall singH7442 for BabylonH894: for the spoilersH7703 shall comeH935 unto her from the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
We would have healedH7495 BabylonH894, but she is not healedH7495: forsakeH5800 her, and let us goH3212 every oneH376 into his own countryH776: for her judgmentH4941 reachethH5060 unto heavenH8064, and is lifted upH5375 even to the skiesH7834.
I will consumeH5486 manH120 and beastH929; I will consumeH5486 the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220, and the stumblingblocksH4384 with the wickedH7563; and I will cut offH3772 manH120 from offH6440 the landH127, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {stumblingblocks: or, idols}
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.
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.
Behold, I will stir upH5782 the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803 silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in it.
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}
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 shall become heapsH1530, a dwellingplaceH4583 for dragonsH8577, an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, without an inhabitantH3427.
They shall roarH7580 togetherH3162 like lionsH3715: they shall yellH5286 as lions'H738 whelpsH1484. {yell: or, shake themselves}
In their heatH2527 I will makeH7896 their feastsH4960, and I will make them drunkenH7937, that they may rejoiceH5937, and sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I will bring them downH3381 like lambsH3733 to the slaughterH2873, like ramsH352 with he goatsH6260.
How is SheshachH8347 takenH3920! and how is the praiseH8416 of the whole earthH776 surprisedH8610! how is BabylonH894 become an astonishmentH8047 among the nationsH1471!
The seaH3220 is come upH5927 upon BabylonH894: she is coveredH3680 with the multitudeH1995 of the wavesH1530 thereof.
Her citiesH5892 are a desolationH8047, a dryH6723 landH776, and a wildernessH6160, a landH776 wherein no manH376 dwellethH3427, neither doth any sonH1121 of manH120 passH5674 therebyH2004.
And I will punishH6485 BelH1078 in BabylonH894, and I will bring forthH3318 out of his mouthH6310 that which he hath swallowed upH1105: and the nationsH1471 shall not flow togetherH5102 any more unto him: yea, the wallH2346 of BabylonH894 shall fallH5307.
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.
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}
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 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}
For I will rise upH6965 against them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and cut offH3772 from BabylonH894 the nameH8034, and remnantH7605, and sonH5209, and nephewH5220, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I will also makeH7760 it a possessionH4180 for the bitternH7090, and poolsH98 of waterH4325: and I will sweepH2894 it with the besomH4292 of destructionH8045, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650, sayingH559, Surely as I have thoughtH1819, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposedH3289, so shall it standH6965:
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.
