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.

Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 went forthH3318, and smoteH5221 in the campH4264 of the AssyriansH804 a hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 thousandH505: and when they arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, they were all deadH4191 corpsesH6297.
So SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265, and wentH3212 and returnedH7725, and dweltH3427 at NinevehH5210.
And it came to pass, as he was worshippingH7812 in the houseH1004 of NisrochH5268 his godH430, that AdrammelechH152 and SharezerH8272 his sonsH1121 smoteH5221 him with the swordH2719; and they escapedH4422 into the landH776 of ArmeniaH780: and EsarhaddonH634 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}
Behold, the AssyrianH804 was a cedarH730 in LebanonH3844 with fairH3303 branchesH6057, and with a shadowingH6751 shroudH2793, and of an highH1362 statureH6967; and his topH6788 was among the thick boughsH5688. {with fair branches: Heb. fair of branches}
The watersH4325 made him greatH1431, the deepH8415 set him up on highH7311 with her riversH5104 runningH1980 round aboutH5439 his plantsH4302, and sent outH7971 her little riversH8585 unto all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704. {made…: or, nourished him} {set…: or, brought him up} {little rivers: or, conduits}
Therefore his heightH6967 was exaltedH1361 above all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704, and his boughsH5634 were multipliedH7235, and his branchesH6288 became longH748 because of the multitudeH7227 of watersH4325, when he shot forthH7971. {when…: or, when it sent them forth}
All the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064 made their nestsH7077 in his boughsH5589, and under his branchesH6288 did all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 bring forth their youngH3205, and under his shadowH6738 dweltH3427 all greatH7227 nationsH1471.
Thus was he fairH3302 in his greatnessH1433, in the lengthH753 of his branchesH1808: for his rootH8328 was by greatH7227 watersH4325.
The cedarsH730 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430 could not hideH6004 him: the fir treesH1265 were not likeH1819 his boughsH5589, and the chesnut treesH6196 were not like his branchesH6288; nor any treeH6086 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430 was likeH1819 unto him in his beautyH3308.
I have madeH6213 him fairH3303 by the multitudeH7230 of his branchesH1808: so that all the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, that were in the gardenH1588 of GodH430, enviedH7065 him.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast lifted upH1361 thyself in heightH6967, and he hath shot upH5414 his topH6788 among the thick boughsH5688, and his heartH3824 is lifted upH7311 in his heightH1363;
I have therefore deliveredH5414 him into the handH3027 of the mighty oneH410 of the heathenH1471; he shall surelyH6213 dealH6213 with him: I have driven him outH1644 for his wickednessH7562. {he…: Heb. in doing he shall do unto him}
And strangersH2114, the terribleH6184 of the nationsH1471, have cut him offH3772, and have leftH5203 him: upon the mountainsH2022 and in all the valleysH1516 his branchesH1808 are fallenH5307, and his boughsH6288 are brokenH7665 by all the riversH650 of the landH776; and all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 are gone downH3381 from his shadowH6738, and have leftH5203 him.
Upon his ruinH4658 shall all the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064 remainH7931, and all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall be upon his branchesH6288:
To the end that none of all the treesH6086 by the watersH4325 exaltH1361 themselves for their heightH6967, neither shoot upH5414 their topH6788 among the thick boughsH5688, neither their treesH352 stand upH5975 in their heightH1363, all that drinkH8354 waterH4325: for they are all deliveredH5414 unto deathH4194, to the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776, in the midstH8432 of the childrenH1121 of menH120, with them that go downH3381 to the pitH953. {their trees…: or, stand upon themselves for their height}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 when he went downH3381 to the graveH7585 I caused a mourningH56: I coveredH3680 the deepH8415 for him, and I restrainedH4513 the floodsH5104 thereof, and the greatH7227 watersH4325 were stayedH3607: and I caused LebanonH3844 to mournH6937 for him, and all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 faintedH5969 for him. {to mourn: Heb. to be black}
I made the nationsH1471 to shakeH7493 at the soundH6963 of his fallH4658, when I cast him downH3381 to hellH7585 with them that descendH3381 into the pitH953: and all the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, the choiceH4005 and bestH2896 of LebanonH3844, all that drinkH8354 waterH4325, shall be comfortedH5162 in the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776.
They also went downH3381 into hellH7585 with him unto them that be slainH2491 with the swordH2719; and they that were his armH2220, that dweltH3427 under his shadowH6738 in the midstH8432 of the heathenH1471.
The burdenH4853 of NinevehH5210. The bookH5612 of the visionH2377 of NahumH5151 the ElkoshiteH512.
GodH410 is jealousH7072, and the LORDH3068 revengethH5358; the LORDH3068 revengethH5358, and is furiousH1167+H2534; the LORDH3068 will take vengeanceH5358 on his adversariesH6862, and he reservethH5201 wrath for his enemiesH341. {God…: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc} {is furious: Heb. that hath fury}
The LORDH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639, and greatH1419 in powerH3581, and will not at allH5352 acquitH5352 the wicked: the LORDH3068 hath his wayH1870 in the whirlwindH5492 and in the stormH8183, and the cloudsH6051 are the dustH80 of his feetH7272.
And he will stretch outH5186 his handH3027 against the northH6828, and destroyH6 AssyriaH804; and will makeH7760 NinevehH5210 a desolationH8077, and dryH6723 like a wildernessH4057.
And flocksH5739 shall lie downH7257 in the midstH8432 of her, all the beastsH2416 of the nationsH1471: both the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall lodgeH3885 in the upper lintelsH3730 of it; their voiceH6963 shall singH7891 in the windowsH2474; desolationH2721 shall be in the thresholdsH5592: for he shall uncoverH6168 the cedar workH731. {cormorant: or, pelican} {upper…: or, knops, or, chapiters} {for…: or, when he hath uncovered}
This is the rejoicingH5947 cityH5892 that dweltH3427 carelesslyH983, that saidH559 in her heartH3824, I am, and there is none besideH657 me: how is she become a desolationH8047, a place for beastsH2416 to lie down inH4769! every one that passeth byH5674 her shall hissH8319, and wagH5128 his handH3027.
