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.

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.
And BabylonH894 shall become heapsH1530, a dwellingplaceH4583 for dragonsH8577, an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, without an inhabitantH3427.
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.
How is the hammerH6360 of the whole earthH776 cut asunderH1438 and brokenH7665! how is BabylonH894 become a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471!
At the noiseH6963 of the takingH8610 of BabylonH894 the earthH776 is movedH7493, and the cryH2201 is heardH8085 among the nationsH1471.
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}
And thou shalt become an astonishmentH8047, a proverbH4912, and a bywordH8148, among all nationsH5971 whither the LORDH3068 shall leadH5090 thee.
That thou shalt take upH5375 this proverbH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, How hath the oppressorH5065 ceasedH7673! the golden cityH4062 ceasedH7673! {proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden…: or, exactress of gold}
And this houseH1004, which is highH5945, shall be an astonishmentH8074 to every one that passethH5674 by it; so that he shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and unto this houseH1004?
And wheresoeverH3606 the childrenH1123 of menH606 dwellH1753, the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 and the fowlsH5776 of the heavenH8065 hath he givenH3052 into thine handH3028, and hath made thee rulerH7981 over them allH3606. ThouH607 art this headH7217 of goldH1722.
All the inhabitantsH3427 of the islesH339 shall be astonishedH8074 at thee, and their kingsH4428 shall be soreH8178 afraidH8175, they shall be troubledH7481 in their countenanceH6440.
It is thouH607, O kingH4430, that art grownH7236 and become strongH8631: for thy greatnessH7238 is grownH7236, and reachethH4291 unto heavenH8065, and thy dominionH7985 to the endH5491 of the earthH772.
The kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560, Is notH3809 thisH1932+H1668 greatH7229 BabylonH895, that IH576 have builtH1124 for the houseH1005 of the kingdomH4437 by the mightH8632 of my powerH2632, and for the honourH3367 of my majestyH1923?
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.
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:
