Jeremiah 50:29-40

29“SummonH8085 1manyH7227 againstH413 BabylonH894, AllH3605 those who 2bendH1869 the bowH7198: EncampH2583 againstH5921 her on everyH5439 sideH5439, Let there be noH408 escapeH64133. RepayH7999 her according to her workH6467; 4According to allH3605 that she has doneH6213, so doH6213 to her; For she has becomeH2102 5arrogantH2102 againstH413 the LordH3068, AgainstH413 the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.30ThereforeH3651 her 6youngH970 menH970 will fallH5307 in her streetsH7339, And allH3605 her menH376 of warH4421 will be 78silencedH1826 in that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.31“BeholdH2009, 9I am againstH413 you, O 10arrogantH2087 one,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH136 11GodH3068 of hostsH6635, “For your dayH3117 has comeH935, The timeH6256 12when I will punishH6485 you.32The 1314arrogantH2087 one will stumbleH3782 and fallH5307 With noH369 oneH369 to raiseH6965 him up; And I will 15setH3341 fireH784 to his citiesH5892 And it will devourH398 allH3605 his environsH5439.”

33ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 are oppressedH6231, And the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 as wellH3164; And 16allH3605 who tookH7617 them captiveH7617 have heldH2388 them fastH2388, They have refusedH3985 to letH7971 them goH7971.34Their 17RedeemerH1350 is strongH2389, 18the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 is His nameH8034; He will vigorouslyH7378 19pleadH7378 their caseH7379 SoH4616 that He may 20bringH7280 restH7280 to 21the earthH776, But turmoilH7264 to the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894.35A 22swordH2719 againstH5921 the ChaldeansH3778,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “And againstH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894 And againstH413 her 23officialsH8269 and her 24wiseH2450 menH2450!36A swordH2719 againstH413 the 25oracleH907 priestsH907, and they will becomeH2973 foolsH2973! A swordH2719 againstH413 her 26mightyH1368 menH1368, and they will be 2728shatteredH2865!37A swordH2719 againstH413 29their 30horsesH5483 and againstH413 31their chariotsH7393 And againstH413 allH3605 the 3233foreignersH6154 whoH834 are in the midstH8432 of her, And they will becomeH1961 34womenH802! A swordH2719 againstH413 her treasuresH214, and they will be plunderedH962!38A 3536droughtH2721 on her watersH4325, and they will be driedH3001 up! For it is a landH776 of 37idolsH6456, And they are madH1984 over fearsomeH367 idols.

39“ThereforeH3651 the 38desertH6716 creaturesH6716 will liveH3427 there alongH854 with the jackalsH338; The ostrichesH3284 also will liveH3427 in it, And it will 39neverH3808 againH5750 be inhabitedH3427 Or dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755.40As when GodH430 overthrewH4114 40SodomH5467 And GomorrahH6017 with its neighborsH7934,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “NoH3808 manH376 will liveH3427 thereH8033, NorH3808 will any sonH1121 of manH120 resideH1481 in it.
