Jeremiah 51:5-14

5For IsraelH3478 is not forsaken, nor JudahH3063, of his GodH430, of Jehovah of hostsH6635; though their landH776 is fullH4390 of guiltH817 against the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. 6FleeH5127 out of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and saveH4422 every manH376 his lifeH5315; be not cut off in her iniquityH5771: for it is the timeH6256 of Jehovah’s vengeanceH5360; he will render unto her a recompenseH1576. 7BabylonH894 hath been a golden cupH3563 in Jehovah’s handH3027, that made all the earthH776 drunken: the nationsH1471 have drunkH7937 of her wineH3196; thereforeH3651 the nationsH1471 are mad. 8BabylonH894 is suddenlyH6597 fallenH5307 and destroyed: wailH3213 for her; takeH3947 balmH6875 for her painH4341, if so be she may be healedH7495. 9We would have healedH7495 BabylonH894, but she is not healedH7495: forsakeH5800 her, and let us go every oneH376 into his own country; for her judgmentH4941 reacheth unto heavenH8064, and is liftedH5375 up even to the skies. 10Jehovah hath broughtH935 forthH3318 our righteousnessH6666: comeH935, and let us declare in ZionH6726 the workH4639 of Jehovah our GodH430.

11Make sharp the arrowsH2671; hold firm the shieldsH7982: Jehovah hath stirredH5782 up the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the Medes; because his purposeH4209 is against BabylonH894, to destroyH7843 it: for it is the vengeanceH5360 of Jehovah, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964. 12SetH6965 up a standardH5251 against the wallsH2346 of BabylonH894, makeH6213 the watchH8104 strongH2388, setH6965 the watchmenH8104, prepareH3559 the ambushesH693; for Jehovah hath both purposed and done that which he spake concerningH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894. 13O thou that dwellest upon manyH7227 watersH4325, abundant in treasuresH214, thine endH7093 is comeH935, the measure of thy covetousness. 14Jehovah of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650 by himself, saying, Surely I will fillH4390 thee with menH120, as with the canker-worm; and they shall lift up a shoutH1959 against thee.
