Jeremiah 51:5-14
5ForH3588 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 have notH3808 been abandonedH488 by their GodH430, the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, thoughH3588 their landH776 is full ofH4390 guiltH817 before the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.”
6FleeH5127 fromH8432 BabylonH894! EscapeH4422 with yourH376 livesH5315!Do notH408 be destroyedH1826 in her punishmentH5771.ForH3588 thisH1931 is the timeH6256 of the LORD’sH3068 vengeanceH5360;HeH1931 will payH7999 her what she deservesH1576.7BabylonH894 was a goldH2091 cupH3563 in the handH3027 of the LORDH3068,making the wholeH3605 earthH776 drunkH7937.The nationsH1471 drankH8354 her wineH3196;thereforeH5921H3651 the nationsH1471 have gone madH1984.
8SuddenlyH6597 BabylonH894 has fallenH5307 and been shatteredH7665.WailH3213 for herH5921; get herH3947 balmH6875 for her painH4341;perhapsH194 she can be healedH7495.
9“We tried to healH7495 BabylonH894,but she could notH3808 be healedH7495.Abandon herH5800!Let eachH376 of us goH1980 to his own landH776,forH3588 her judgmentH4941 extendsH5060 toH413 the skyH8064and reachesH5375 toH5704 the cloudsH7834.”
10“The LORDH3068 has brought forthH3318 our vindicationH6666;comeH935, let us tellH5608 in ZionH6726what the LORDH3068 our GodH430 has accomplishedH4639.”
11SharpenH1305 the arrowsH2671!FillH4390 the quiversH7982!1The LORDH3068 has arousedH5782 the spiritH7307of the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074,becauseH3588 His planH4209 is aimed atH5921 BabylonH894to destroy herH7843,forH3588 itH1931 is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068—vengeanceH5360 for His templeH1964.
12RaiseH5375 a bannerH5251 againstH413 the wallsH2346 of BabylonH894;postH2388 the guardH4929;stationH6965 the watchmenH8104;prepareH3559 the ambushH693.ForH3588 the LORDH3068 has bothH1571 devisedH2161 andH1571 accomplishedH6213whatH834 He spokeH1696 againstH413 the peopleH3427 of BabylonH894.13You who dwellH7931 byH5921 manyH7227 watersH4325,richH7227 in treasuresH214,your endH7093 has comeH935;the thread of your lifeH520 is cutH1215.
14The LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 has swornH7650 by HimselfH5315:
“SurelyH3588H518 I will fill you upH4390 with menH120 as with locustsH3218,and they will shout in triumphH6030H1959 over youH5921.”
