Jeremiah 51:14-27

14The 1LordH3068 of hostsH6635 has swornH7650 by HimselfH5315: “SurelyH3588H518 I will fillH4390 you with a 2populationH120 like 3locustsH3218, And they will cryH6031 out with 4shoutsH1959 of victory overH5921 you.”

15It is 5He who madeH6213 the earthH776 by His powerH3581, Who establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by His wisdomH2451, And by His understandingH8394 He 6stretchedH5186 out the heavensH8064.16When He uttersH5414 His 7voiceH6963, there is a tumultH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064, And He causes the 8cloudsH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endH7097 of the earthH776; He makesH6213 lightningH1300 for the rainH4306 And bringsH3318 forthH3318 the 9windH7307 from His storehousesH214.1710AllH3605 mankindH120 is stupidH1197, devoidH4480 of knowledgeH1847; EveryH3605 goldsmithH6884 is putH954 to shameH954 by his 11idolsH6459, For his moltenH5262 imagesH5262 are 12deceitfulH8267, And there is noH3808 breathH7307 in them.18They are 13worthlessH1892, a workH4639 of mockeryH8595; In the timeH6256 of their punishmentH6486 they will perishH6.19The 14portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like theseH428; For the 15MakerH3335 of allH3605 is He, And of the 16tribeH7626 of His inheritanceH5159; The 17LordH3068 of hostsH6635 is His nameH8034.20He says, “You are My 1819war-clubH4661, My weaponH3627 of warH4421; And with you I 20shatterH5310 nationsH1471, And with you I destroyH7843 kingdomsH4467.21With you I 21shatterH5310 the horseH5483 and his riderH7392, And with you I shatterH5310 the 22chariotH7393 and its riderH7392,22And with you I shatterH5310 23manH376 and womanH802, And with you I shatterH5310 oldH2205 manH376 and 24youthH5288, And with you I shatterH5310 youngH970 manH970 and virginH1330,23And with you I shatterH5310 the shepherdH7462 and his flockH5739, And with you I shatterH5310 the farmerH406 and his teamH6776, And with you I shatterH5310 governorsH6346 and prefectsH5461.

24“But I will repayH7999 BabylonH894 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of 25ChaldeaH3778 for 26allH3605 their evilH7463 that they have doneH6213 in ZionH6726 before your eyesH5869,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.25“BeholdH2009, 27I am againstH413 you, 28O destroyingH7843 mountainH2022, Who destroysH7843 the wholeH3605 earthH776,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “And I will stretchH5186 out My handH3027 againstH5921 you, And rollH1556 you downH1556 from the cragsH5553, And I will makeH5414 you a 29burntH8316 out mountainH2022.26They will not takeH3947 from you even a stoneH68 for a cornerH6438 NorH3808 a stoneH68 for foundationsH4144, But you will be 30desolateH8077 foreverH5769,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

2731LiftH5375 up a 32signalH5251 in the landH776, BlowH8628 a trumpetH7782 among the nationsH1471! ConsecrateH6942 the nationsH1471 againstH5921 her, SummonH8085 againstH5921 her the 33kingdomsH4467 of 34AraratH780, MinniH4508 and 35AshkenazH813; AppointH6485 a marshalH2951 againstH5921 her, BringH5927 up the 36horsesH5483 like bristlyH5569 locustsH3218.
