Jeremiah 50:11-20
11Because ye are gladH8055, because ye rejoiceH8055, O ye that plunderH8154 my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heiferH5697 that treadeth out the grain, and neigh as strong horses; 12your motherH517 shall be utterly putH954 to shameH954; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nationsH1471, a wildernessH4057, a dryH6723 land, and a desertH6160. 13Because of the wrathH7110 of Jehovah she shall not beH1961 inhabitedH3427, but she shall beH1961 wholly desolateH8074: every one that goeth by BabylonH894 shall beH1961 astonished, and hissH8319 at all her plaguesH4347. 14Set yourselves in array against BabylonH894 roundH5439 about, all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198; shoot at her, spareH2550 no arrowsH2671: for she hath sinnedH2398 against Jehovah. 15ShoutH7321 against her roundH5439 about: she hath submitted herself; her bulwarks are fallenH5307, her wallsH2346 are thrown downH5307; for it is the vengeanceH5360 of Jehovah: take vengeanceH5360 upon her; as she hath done, do unto her. 16CutH3772 off the sowerH2232 from BabylonH894, and him that handleth the sickleH4038 in the timeH6256 of harvestH7105: for fear of the oppressingH3238 swordH2719 they shall turnH6437 every oneH376 to his peopleH5971, and they shall fleeH5127 every oneH376 to his own landH776.
17IsraelH3478 is a hunted sheepH7716; the lionsH738 have drivenH5080 him awayH5080: firstH7223, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 devouredH398 him; and now at lastH314 Nebuchadrezzar kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath broken his bones. 18ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah 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. 19And I will bringH7725 IsraelH3478 again to his pasture, and he shall feedH7462 on CarmelH3760 and BashanH1316, and his soulH5315 shall be satisfiedH7646 upon the hillsH2022 of EphraimH669 and in GileadH1568. 20In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saith Jehovah, the iniquityH5771 of IsraelH3478 shall be soughtH1245 for, and there shall be none; and the sinsH2403 of JudahH3063, and they shall not be foundH4672: for I will pardon them whom I leaveH7604 as a remnantH7604.
