Jeremiah 50:11-18

11“BecauseH3588 you rejoiceH8055, becauseH3588 you sing in triumphH5937— you who plunderH8154 My inheritanceH5159— becauseH3588 you frolicH6335 like a heiferH5697 treading grainH1758 and neighH6670 like stallionsH47,12your motherH517 will be greatlyH3966 ashamedH954; she who bore youH3205 will be disgracedH2659. BeholdH2009, she will be the leastH319 of the nationsH1471, a wildernessH4057, a dry landH6723, and a desertH6160.

13Because of the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068,she will notH3808 be inhabitedH3427;she will becomeH1961 completelyH3605 desolateH8077.AllH3605 who passH5674 throughH5921 BabylonH894 will be horrifiedH8074and will hissH8319 atH5921 allH3605 her woundsH4347.
14Line up in formationH6186H5921 aroundH5439 BabylonH894,allH3605 you who drawH1869 the bowH7198!ShootH3034 at herH413! SpareH2550 noH408H413 arrowsH2671!ForH3588 she has sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068.15Raise a war cryH7321 against herH5921 on every sideH5439!She has thrown upH5414 her hands in surrenderH3027;her towersH803 have fallenH5307;her wallsH2346 are torn downH2040.
SinceH3588 thisH1931 is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068,take out your vengeanceH5358 upon her;asH834 she has doneH6213,do the sameH6213 to her.16Cut offH3772 the sowerH2232 from BabylonH894,and the one who wieldsH8610 the sickleH4038 at harvestH7105 timeH6256.In the face ofH6440 the oppressor’sH3238 swordH2719,eachH376 will turnH6437 toH413 his own peopleH5971,eachH376 will fleeH5127 to his own landH776.
17IsraelH3478 is a scatteredH6340 flockH7716,chased awayH5080 by lionsH738.The firstH7223 to devour himH398was the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804H2088;the lastH314 to crush his bonesH6105was NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894.”

18ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478H2005, saysH559:

“I will punishH6485H413 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894H413 and his landH776asH834 I punishedH6485H413 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
