Jeremiah 50:1-19

1The wordH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 concerningH413 1BabylonH894, the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, throughH3027 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030:2“2DeclareH5046 and proclaimH8085 among the nationsH1471. ProclaimH8085 it and 3liftH5375 up a standardH5251. Do not concealH3582 it but sayH559, ‘4BabylonH894 has been capturedH3920, 5BelH1078 has beenH954 putH954 to shameH954, 6MardukH4781 has beenH2865 7shatteredH2865; Her 8imagesH6091 have beenH954 putH954 to shameH954, her idolsH1544 have beenH2865 shatteredH2865.’ 3For a nationH1471 has comeH5927 up againstH5921 her out of the 9northH6828; it will makeH7896 her landH776 10an objectH8047 of horrorH8047, and there will be 11noH3808 inhabitantH3427 in it. BothH4480 manH120 and beastH929 have wanderedH5110 off, they have goneH1980 away!

4“In thoseH1992 daysH3117 and at that timeH6256,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 will comeH935, both they and the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 12as wellH3164; they will goH1980 along 13weepingH1058 as they goH1980, and it will be 14the LordH3068 their GodH430 they will seekH1245. 5They will 15askH7592 for the wayH1870 to ZionH6726, turning their facesH6440 16in its directionH2008; 17they 18will comeH935 that they may joinH3867 themselves to the LordH3068 in an 19everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 that will not be forgottenH7911.

6“My peopleH5971 have becomeH1961 20lostH6 sheepH6629; 21Their shepherdsH7462 have ledH8582 them astrayH8582. They have made them turnH7725 asideH7725 on the 22mountainsH2022; They have goneH1980 along from mountainH2022 to hillH1389 And have forgottenH7911 their 23restingH7258 placeH7258.7AllH3605 who cameH4672 upon them have devouredH398 them; And their adversariesH6862 have saidH559, ‘24We are not guiltyH816, InasmuchH8478H834 as they have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068 who is the 25habitationH5116 of righteousnessH6664, Even the LordH3068, the 26hopeH4723 of their fathersH1.’

8“WanderH5110 away from the 27midstH8432 of BabylonH894 And 28goH3318 forthH3318 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; Be also like maleH6260 goatsH6260 29at the headH6440 of the flockH6629.9For beholdH2009, I am going to 30arouseH5782 and bringH5927 up againstH5921 BabylonH894 A hordeH6951 of greatH1419 nationsH1471 from the landH776 of the northH6828, And they will drawH6186 up their battleH6186 linesH6186 against her; From thereH8033 she will be takenH3920 captiveH3920. Their arrowsH2671 will be like 31an expertH7919 warriorH1368 Who does not returnH7725 empty-handedH7387.103233ChaldeaH3778 will becomeH1961 plunderH7998; AllH3605 who plunderH7997 her will haveH7646 enoughH7646,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

11“BecauseH3588 you are gladH8055, becauseH3588 you are jubilantH5937, O you who 34pillageH8154 My heritageH5159, BecauseH3588 you skipH6335 aboutH6335 35like a threshingH1758 36heiferH5697 And neighH6670 like 37stallionsH47,12Your 38motherH517 39will be greatlyH3966 ashamedH954, She who gaveH3205 you birthH3205 40will be humiliatedH2659. BeholdH2009, she will be the leastH319 of the nationsH1471, A 41wildernessH4057, a parchedH6723 landH6723 and a desertH6160.13BecauseH4480 of the indignationH7110 of the LordH3068 she will 42not be inhabitedH3427, But she will be 43completelyH3605 desolateH8077; EveryoneH3605 who passesH5674 by BabylonH894 44will be horrifiedH8074 And will hissH8319 becauseH5921 of allH3605 her woundsH4347.14DrawH6186 up your battleH6186 linesH6186 againstH5921 BabylonH894 on everyH5439 sideH5439, AllH3605 you who 45bendH1869 the bowH7198; ShootH3034 at her, do not be sparingH2550 with your arrowsH2671, For she has 46sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068.15RaiseH7321 your battleH7321 cryH7321 againstH5921 her on everyH5439 sideH5439! She has 47givenH5414 48herselfH3027 up, her pillarsH806 have fallenH5307, Her 49wallsH2346 have been tornH2040 downH2040. For thisH1931 is the 50vengeanceH5360 of the LordH3068: TakeH5358 vengeanceH5358 on her; 51As she has doneH6213 to others, so doH6213 to her.16CutH3772 offH3772 the 52sowerH2232 from BabylonH894 And the one who wieldsH8610 the sickleH4038 at the timeH6256 of harvestH7105; From beforeH6440 53the 54swordH2719 of the oppressorH3238 55They will eachH376 turnH6437 backH6437 to his own peopleH5971 And they will eachH376 fleeH5127 to his own landH776.

17“IsraelH3478 is a 56scatteredH6340 57flockH7716, the 58lionsH738 have drivenH5080 them awayH5080. The firstH7223 oneH7223 who devouredH398 him was the 59kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and thisH2088 lastH314 oneH314 who has brokenH6105 his bonesH6105 is 60NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894. 18ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: ‘BeholdH2009, I am going to punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and his landH776, justH3512 as I 61punishedH6485 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 19And I will 62bringH7725 IsraelH3478 backH7725 to his pastureH5116 and he will grazeH7462 on CarmelH3760 and BashanH1316, and his 63desireH5315 will be satisfiedH7646 in the 64hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669 and GileadH1568.
