Jeremiah 50:29-40

29Call together the archers against BabylonH894, all them that bendH1869 the bowH7198; encampH2583 against her roundH5439 about; let none thereof escapeH6413: recompense her according to her workH6467; according to all that she hath done, do unto her; for she hath beenH1961 proud against Jehovah, against the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. 30ThereforeH3651 shall her youngH970 menH376 fallH5307 in her streets, and all her menH376 of warH4421 shall be brought to silence in that dayH3117, saith Jehovah. 31Behold, I am against thee, O thou proud one, saith the LordH136, Jehovah of hostsH6635; for thy dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 thee. 32And the proud one shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and none shall raiseH6965 him up; and I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 all that are roundH5439 about him.

33ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: The children of IsraelH3478 and the children of JudahH3063 are oppressedH6231 togetherH3162; and all that tookH2388 them captiveH7617 holdH2388 them fast; they refuseH3985 to let them goH7971. 34Their RedeemerH1350 is strongH2389; Jehovah of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: he will thoroughly plead their causeH7379, that he may give restH7280 to the earthH776, and disquiet the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894. 35A swordH2719 is upon the ChaldeansH3778, saith Jehovah, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894, and upon her princesH8269, and upon her wiseH2450 men. 36A swordH2719 is upon the boasters, and they shall becomeH2973 foolsH2973; a swordH2719 is upon her mightyH1368 menH1368, and they shall be dismayedH2865. 37A swordH2719 is upon their horsesH5483, and upon their chariotsH7393, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midstH8432 of her; and they shall becomeH1961 as womenH802: a swordH2719 is upon her treasuresH214, and they shall beH1961 robbed. 38A drought is upon her watersH4325, and they shall be driedH3001 up; for it is a landH776 of graven images, and they are mad over idolsH6456. 39ThereforeH3651 the wild beasts of the desert with the wolves shall dwellH3427 there, and the ostrichesH3284 shall dwellH3427 therein: and it shall be no more inhabitedH3427 for ever; neither shall it be dweltH3427 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755. 40As when GodH430 overthrew SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighborH7934 cities thereof, saith Jehovah, so shall no manH376 dwellH3427 there, neither shall any sonH1121 of manH376 sojourn therein.
