Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will raise upH5782 against BabylonH894, and against them that dwellH3427 in the midstH3820 of them that rise upH6965 against me, a destroyingH7843 windH7307; {midst: Heb. heart}
And will sendH7971 unto BabylonH894 fannersH2114, that shall fanH2219 her, and shall emptyH1238 her landH776: for in the dayH3117 of troubleH7451 they shall be against her round aboutH5439.
Against him that bendethH1869 let the archerH1869 bendH1869 his bowH7198, and against him that lifteth himself upH5927 in his brigandineH5630: and spareH2550 ye not her young menH970; destroy ye utterlyH2763 all her hostH6635.
Thus the slainH2491 shall fallH5307 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and they that are thrust throughH1856 in her streetsH2351.
For IsraelH3478 hath not been forsakenH488, nor JudahH3063 of his GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; though their landH776 was filledH4390 with sinH817 against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
Flee outH5127 of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and deliverH4422 every manH376 his soulH5315: be not cut offH1826 in her iniquityH5771; for this is the timeH6256 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5360; he will renderH7999 unto her a recompenceH1576.
BabylonH894 hath been a goldenH2091 cupH3563 in the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, that made all the earthH776 drunkenH7937: the nationsH1471 have drunkenH8354 of her wineH3196; therefore the nationsH1471 are madH1984.
BabylonH894 is suddenlyH6597 fallenH5307 and destroyedH7665: howlH3213 for her; takeH3947 balmH6875 for her painH4341, if so be she may be healedH7495.
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.
The LORDH3068 hath brought forthH3318 our righteousnessH6666: comeH935, and let us declareH5608 in ZionH6726 the workH4639 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Make brightH1305 the arrowsH2671; gatherH4390 the shieldsH7982: the LORDH3068 hath raised upH5782 the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074: for his deviceH4209 is against BabylonH894, to destroyH7843 it; because it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964. {bright: Heb. pure}
Set upH5375 the standardH5251 upon the wallsH2346 of BabylonH894, make the watchH4929 strongH2388, set upH6965 the watchmenH8104, prepareH3559 the ambushesH693: for the LORDH3068 hath both devisedH2161 and doneH6213 that which he spakeH1696 against the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894. {ambushes: Heb. liers in wait}
O thou that dwellestH7931+H7931 upon manyH7227 watersH4325, abundantH7227 in treasuresH214, thine endH7093 is comeH935, and the measureH520 of thy covetousnessH1215.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650 by himselfH5315, saying, Surely I will fillH4390 thee with menH120, as with caterpillersH3218; and they shall lift upH6030 a shoutH1959 against thee. {by himself: Heb. by his soul} {lift up: Heb. utter}
He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and hath stretched outH5186 the heavenH8064 by his understandingH8394.
When he utterethH5414 his voiceH6963, there is a multitudeH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064; and he causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776: he makethH6213 lightningsH1300 with rainH4306, and bringeth forthH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuresH214. {multitude: or, noise}
Every manH120 is brutishH1197 by his knowledgeH1847; every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {is brutish…: or, is more brutish than to know}
They are vanityH1892, the workH4639 of errorsH8595: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perishH6.
The portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like them; for he is the formerH3335 of all things: and Israel is the rodH7626 of his inheritanceH5159: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.
Thou art my battle axeH4661 and weaponsH3627 of warH4421: for with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the nationsH1471, and with thee will I destroyH7843 kingdomsH4467; {with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee}
And with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the horseH5483 and his riderH7392; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the chariotH7393 and his riderH7392;
With thee also will I break in piecesH5310 manH376 and womanH802; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 oldH2205 and youngH5288; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the young manH970 and the maidH1330;
I will also break in piecesH5310 with thee the shepherdH7462 and his flockH5739; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the husbandmanH406 and his yoke of oxenH6776; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 captainsH6346 and rulersH5461.
And I will renderH7999 unto BabylonH894 and to all the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778 all their evilH7451 that they have doneH6213 in ZionH6726 in your sightH5869, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
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.
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}
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.
PrepareH6942 against her the nationsH1471 with the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074, the captainsH6346 thereof, and all the rulersH5461 thereof, and all the landH776 of his dominionH4475.
And the landH776 shall trembleH7493 and sorrowH2342: for every purposeH4284 of the LORDH3068 shall be performedH6965 against BabylonH894, to makeH7760 the landH776 of BabylonH894 a desolationH8047 without an inhabitantH3427.
The mighty menH1368 of BabylonH894 have forbornH2308 to fightH3898, they have remainedH3427 in their holdsH4679: their mightH1369 hath failedH5405; they became as womenH802: they have burnedH3341 her dwellingplacesH4908; her barsH1280 are brokenH7665.
One postH7323 shall runH7323 to meetH7125 anotherH7323, and one messengerH5046 to meetH7125 anotherH5046, to shewH5046 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 that his cityH5892 is takenH3920 at one endH7097,
And that the passagesH4569 are stoppedH8610, and the reedsH98 they have burnedH8313 with fireH784, and the menH582 of warH4421 are affrightedH926.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; The daughterH1323 of BabylonH894 is like a threshingfloorH1637, it is timeH6256 to threshH1869 her: yet a little whileH4592, and the timeH6256 of her harvestH7105 shall comeH935. {it is…: or, in the time that he thresheth her}
NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath devouredH398 me, he hath crushedH2000 me, he hath madeH3322 me an emptyH7385 vesselH3627, he hath swallowed me upH1104 like a dragonH8577, he hath filledH4390 his bellyH3770 with my delicatesH5730, he hath cast me outH1740.
The violenceH2555 done to me and to my fleshH7607 be upon BabylonH894, shall the inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726 sayH559; and my bloodH1818 upon the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778, shall JerusalemH3389 sayH559. {The violence…: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will pleadH7378 thy causeH7379, and take vengeanceH5358 for theeH5360; and I will dry upH2717 her seaH3220, and make her springsH4726 dryH3001.
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.
My peopleH5971, go ye outH3318 of the midstH8432 of her, and deliverH4422 ye every manH376 his soulH5315 from the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068.
And lest your heartH3824 faintH7401, and ye fearH3372 for the rumourH8052 that shall be heardH8085 in the landH776; a rumourH8052 shall both comeH935 one yearH8141, and afterH310 that in another yearH8141 shall come a rumourH8052, and violenceH2555 in the landH776, rulerH4910 against rulerH4910. {lest: or, let not}
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will do judgmentH6485 upon the graven imagesH6456 of BabylonH894: and her whole landH776 shall be confoundedH954, and all her slainH2491 shall fallH5307 in the midstH8432 of her. {do…: Heb. visit upon}
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.
AsH1571 BabylonH894 hath caused the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 to fallH5307, so at BabylonH894 shall fallH5307 the slainH2491 of all the earthH776. {As…: or, Both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain of Israel, and with Babylon, etc} {the earth: or, the country}
Ye that have escapedH6405 the swordH2719, go awayH1980, stand not stillH5975: rememberH2142 the LORDH3068 afar offH7350, and let JerusalemH3389 comeH5927 into your mindH3824.
We are confoundedH954, because we have heardH8085 reproachH2781: shameH3639 hath coveredH3680 our facesH6440: for strangersH2114 are comeH935 into the sanctuariesH4720 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004.
Wherefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will do judgmentH6485 upon her graven imagesH6456: and through all her landH776 the woundedH2491 shall groanH602.
Though BabylonH894 should mount upH5927 to heavenH8064, and though she should fortifyH1219 the heightH4791 of her strengthH5797, yetH227 from me shall spoilersH7703 comeH935 unto her, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
A soundH6963 of a cryH2201 cometh from BabylonH894, and greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778:
Because the LORDH3068 hath spoiledH7703 BabylonH894, and destroyedH6 out of her the greatH1419 voiceH6963; when her wavesH1530 do roarH1993 like greatH7227 watersH4325, a noiseH7588 of their voiceH6963 is utteredH5414:
Because the spoilerH7703 is comeH935 upon her, even upon BabylonH894, and her mighty menH1368 are takenH3920, every one of their bowsH7198 is brokenH2865: for the LORDH3068 GodH410 of recompencesH1578 shall surelyH7999 requiteH7999.
And I will make drunkH7937 her princesH8269, and her wiseH2450 men, her captainsH6346, and her rulersH5461, and her mighty menH1368: and they shall sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The broadH7342 wallsH2346 of BabylonH894 shall be utterlyH6209 brokenH6209, and her highH1364 gatesH8179 shall be burnedH3341 with fireH784; and the peopleH5971 shall labourH3021 in vainH7385, and the folkH3816 inH1767 the fireH784, and they shall be wearyH3286. {The broad…: or, The walls of broad Babylon} {broken: or, made naked}
The wordH1697 which JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680 SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4271, when he wentH3212 with ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into BabylonH894 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. And this SeraiahH8304 was a quietH4496 princeH8269. {with: or, on the behalf of} {quiet…: or, prince of Menucha, or, chief chamberlain}
So JeremiahH3414 wroteH3789 in aH259 bookH5612 all the evilH7451 that should comeH935 upon BabylonH894, even all these wordsH1697 that are writtenH3789 against BabylonH894.
And JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to SeraiahH8304, When thou comestH935 to BabylonH894, and shalt seeH7200, and shalt readH7121 all these wordsH1697;
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.

He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and hath stretched outH5186 the heavensH8064 by his discretionH8394.
Behold, GodH410 is greatH7689, and we knowH3045 him not, neither can the numberH4557 of his yearsH8141 be searched outH2714.
For he maketh smallH1639 the dropsH5198 of waterH4325: they pour downH2212 rainH4306 according to the vapourH108 thereof:
Which the cloudsH7834 do dropH5140 and distilH7491 upon manH120 abundantlyH7227.
Also can any understandH995 the spreadingsH4666 of the cloudsH5645, or the noiseH8663 of his tabernacleH5521?
Behold, he spreadethH6566 his lightH216 upon it, and coverethH3680 the bottomH8328 of the seaH3220. {bottom: Heb. roots}
For by them judgethH1777 he the peopleH5971; he givethH5414 meatH400 in abundanceH4342.
With cloudsH3709 he coverethH3680 the lightH216; and commandethH6680 it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixtH6293.
The noiseH7452 thereof shewethH5046 concerning it, the cattleH4735 also concerning the vapourH5927. {the vapour: Heb. that which goeth up}
He causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776; he makethH6213 lightningsH1300 for the rainH4306; he bringethH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuriesH214.
And GodH430 rememberedH2142 NoahH5146, and every living thingH2416, and all the cattleH929 that was with him in the arkH8392: and GodH430 madeH5674 a windH7307 to passH5674 overH5921 the earthH776, and the watersH4325 asswagedH7918;
When he utterethH5414 his voiceH6963, there is a multitudeH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064, and he causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776; he makethH6213 lightningsH1300 with rainH4306, and bringeth forthH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuresH214. {multitude: or, noise} {with: or, for}
He causeth it to comeH4672, whether for correctionH7626, or for his landH776, or for mercyH2617. {correction: Heb. a rod}
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his rodH4294 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LORDH3068 broughtH5090 an eastH6921 windH7307 upon the landH776 all that dayH3117, and all that nightH3915; and when it was morningH1242, the eastH6921 windH7307 broughtH5375 the locustsH697.
HearH8085 attentivelyH8085 the noiseH7267 of his voiceH6963, and the soundH1899 that goeth outH3318 of his mouthH6310. {Hear…: Heb. Hear in hearing}
He directethH3474 itH8281 under the whole heavenH8064, and his lightningH216 unto the endsH3671 of the earthH776. {lightning: Heb. light} {ends: Heb. wings}
AfterH310 it a voiceH6963 roarethH7580: he thunderethH7481 with the voiceH6963 of his excellencyH1347; and he will not stayH6117 them when his voiceH6963 is heardH8085.
GodH410 thunderethH7481 marvellouslyH6381 with his voiceH6963; great thingsH1419 doethH6213 he, which we cannot comprehendH3045.
For he saithH559 to the snowH7950, Be thouH1933 on the earthH776; likewise to the smallH4306 rainH1653, and to the greatH4306 rainH1653 of his strengthH5797. {likewise…: Heb. and to the shower of rain, and to the showers of rain of his strength}
He sealeth upH2856 the handH3027 of every manH120; that all menH582 may knowH3045 his workH4639.
Then the beastsH2416 goH935 intoH1119 densH695, and remainH7931 in their placesH4585.
Out of the southH2315 comethH935 the whirlwindH5492: and coldH7135 out of the northH4215. {south: Heb. chamber} {north: Heb. scattering winds}
By the breathH5397 of GodH410 frostH7140 is givenH5414: and the breadthH7341 of the watersH4325 is straitenedH4164.
Also by wateringH7377 he weariethH2959 the thick cloudH5645: he scatterethH6327 his brightH216 cloudH6051: {his…: Heb. the cloud of his light}
Canst thou lift upH7311 thy voiceH6963 to the cloudsH5645, that abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 may coverH3680 thee?
Canst thou sendH7971 lightningsH1300, that they may goH3212, and sayH559 unto thee, Here we are? {Here…: Heb. Behold us?}
Who hath putH7896 wisdomH2451 in the inward partsH2910? or who hath givenH5414 understandingH998 to the heartH7907?
Who can numberH5608 the cloudsH7834 in wisdomH2451? or who can stayH7901 the bottlesH5035 of heavenH8064, {stay: Heb. cause to lie down}
When the dustH6083 growethH3332 into hardnessH4165, and the clodsH7263 cleave fast togetherH1692? {groweth…: or, is turned into mire: Heb. is poured}
And the LORDH3068 turnedH2015 a mightyH3966 strongH2389 westH3220 windH7307, which took awayH5375 the locustsH697, and castH8628 them into the RedH5488 seaH3220; there remainedH7604 not oneH259 locustH697 in all the coastsH1366 of EgyptH4714. {cast: Heb. fastened}
He causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776; he makethH6213 lightningsH1300 for the rainH4306; he bringethH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuriesH214.
And MosesH4872 stretched outH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220; and the LORDH3068 caused the seaH3220 to goH3212 back by a strongH5794 eastH6921 windH7307 all that nightH3915, and madeH7760 the seaH3220 dryH2724 land, and the watersH4325 were dividedH1234.
The LORDH3068 also thunderedH7481 in the heavensH8064, and the HighestH5945 gaveH5414 his voiceH6963; hailH1259 stones and coalsH1513 of fireH784.
Are ye not as childrenH1121 of the EthiopiansH3569 unto me, O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Have not I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714? and the PhilistinesH6430 from CaphtorH3731, and the SyriansH758 from KirH7024?
Hast thou enteredH935 into the treasuresH214 of the snowH7950? or hast thou seenH7200 the treasuresH214 of the hailH1259,
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 is upon the watersH4325: the GodH410 of gloryH3519 thunderethH7481: the LORDH3068 is upon manyH7227 watersH4325. {many: or, great}
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 is powerfulH3581; the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 is full of majestyH1926. {powerful: Heb. in power} {full…: Heb. in majesty}
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 breakethH7665 the cedarsH730; yea, the LORDH3068 breakethH7665 the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844.
He maketh them also to skipH7540 like a calfH5695; LebanonH3844 and SirionH8303 like a youngH1121 unicornH7214.
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 dividethH2672 the flamesH3852 of fireH784. {divideth: Heb. cutteth out}
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 shakethH2342 the wildernessH4057; the LORDH3068 shakethH2342 the wildernessH4057 of KadeshH6946.
The voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 maketh the hindsH355 to calveH2342, and discoverethH2834 the forestsH3295: and in his templeH1964 doth every one speakH559 of his gloryH3519. {to calve: or, to be in pain} {doth…: or, every whit of it uttereth, etc}
The LORDH3068 sittethH3427 upon the floodH3999; yea, the LORDH3068 sittethH3427 KingH4428 for everH5769.
He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090 the south windH8486. {to blow: Heb. to go}
The heathenH1471 ragedH1993, the kingdomsH4467 were movedH4131: he utteredH5414 his voiceH6963, the earthH776 meltedH4127.
He causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776; he makethH6213 lightningsH1300 for the rainH4306; he bringethH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuriesH214.
To him that ridethH7392 upon the heavensH8064 of heavensH8064, which were of oldH6924; lo, he doth send outH5414 his voiceH6963, and that a mightyH5797 voiceH6963. {send…: Heb. give}
He sendeth outH7971 his wordH1697, and meltethH4529 them: he causeth his windH7307 to blowH5380, and the watersH4325 flowH5140.
AtH4480 thy rebukeH1606 they fledH5127; at the voiceH6963 of thy thunderH7482 they hastedH2648 away.
But the LORDH3068 sent outH2904 a greatH1419 windH7307 into the seaH3220, and there was a mightyH1419 tempestH5591 in the seaH3220, so that the shipH591 was likeH2803 to be brokenH7665. {sent out: Heb. cast forth} {was like…: Heb. thought to be broken}
And the soundH6963 of the cherubims'H3742 wingsH3671 was heardH8085 even to the outerH2435 courtH2691, as the voiceH6963 of the AlmightyH7706 GodH410 when he speakethH1696.
And it came to pass, when the sunH8121 did ariseH2224, that GodH430 preparedH4487 a vehementH2759 eastH6921 windH7307; and the sunH8121 beatH5221 upon the headH7218 of JonahH3124, that he faintedH5968, and wishedH7592 in himselfH5315 to dieH4191, and saidH559, It is betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to liveH2416. {vehement: or, silent}
