Jeremiah 51:14-27

14Jehovah of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650 by himself, I will assuredly fillH4390 thee with menH120, as with caterpillars; and they shall raise a shoutH1959 against thee.

15He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and hath stretchedH5186 out the heavensH8064 by his understandingH8394.

16When he uttereth his voiceH6963, there is a tumultH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the endH7097 of the earthH776; he maketh lightningsH1300 for the rainH4306, and bringeth forthH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuresH214.

17Every manH120 is become brutish, so as to have no knowledgeH1847; every founder is put to shame by the graven imageH6459, for his molten imageH6459 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them.

18They are vanityH1892, a workH4639 of delusion: in the timeH6256 of their visitation they shall perishH6.

19The portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like them; for it is he that hath formedH3335 all thingsH428: and [Israel] is the rodH7626 of his inheritanceH5159: Jehovah of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.

20Thou art my maul, [my] weaponsH3627 of warH4421: and with thee I will break in pieces the nationsH1471, and I will with thee destroyH7843 kingdomsH4467;

21and with thee I will break in pieces the horseH5483 and his riderH7392; and with thee I will break in pieces the chariotH7393 and its driver;

22and with thee will I break in pieces manH376 and womanH802; and with thee will I break in pieces oldH2205 and youngH5288; and with thee will I break in pieces the youngH5288 manH376 and the maid;

23and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherdH7462 and his flockH5739; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces governorsH6346 and rulers.

24And I will render unto BabylonH894 and to all the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778, in your sight, all their evilH7451 which they have done in ZionH6726, saith Jehovah.

25Behold, I am against thee, mount of destruction, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earthH776; and I will stretchH5186 out my handH3027 upon thee, and rollH1556 thee downH5186 from the rocksH5553, and will makeH5414 thee a burningH8316 mountainH2022.

26And they shall not takeH3947 of thee a stoneH68 for a cornerH6438, nor a stoneH68 for foundationsH4146; for thou shalt beH1961 desolate for everH5769, saith Jehovah.

27LiftH5375 up a banner in the landH776, blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 among the nationsH1471, prepare nationsH1471 against her; call together against her the kingdomsH4467 of AraratH780, Minni, and AshkenazH813; appointH6485 a captain against her; cause the horsesH5483 to comeH5927 up as the bristly caterpillars.
