39When they becomeH2552 heatedH2552 up, I will serveH7896 them their banquetH4960 And 1makeH7937 them drunkH7937, that they may becomeH5937 jubilantH5937 And may 2sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142 And not wakeH3364 up,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.40“I will bringH3381 them downH3381 like 3lambsH3733 4to the slaughterH2873, Like ramsH352 togetherH5973 with maleH6260 goatsH6260.

41“HowH349 56SheshakH8347 has been capturedH3920, And 7the praiseH8416 of the wholeH3605 earthH776 been seizedH8610! HowH349 BabylonH894 has becomeH1961 an objectH8047 of horrorH8047 among the nationsH1471!42The 89seaH3220 has comeH5927 up overH5921 BabylonH894; She has been engulfedH3680 with its tumultuousH1995 wavesH1530.43Her citiesH5892 have becomeH1961 an 10objectH8047 of horrorH8047, A parchedH6723 landH776 and a desertH6160, A landH776 in whichH2004 11noH3808H3605 manH376 livesH3427 And throughH5674 whichH2004 noH3808 sonH1121 of manH120 passesH5674.4412I will punishH6485 BelH1078 in BabylonH894, And I will make whatH1105 he has swallowedH1105 13comeH3318 out of his mouthH6310; And the nationsH1471 will noH3808 longerH5750 14streamH5102 to him. EvenH1571 the 15wallH2346 of BabylonH894 has fallenH5307 downH5307!

45“16ComeH3318 forthH3318 from her midstH8432, My peopleH5971, And eachH376 of you 17saveH4422 yourselvesH5315 From the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LordH3068.46Now 18soH6435 that your heartH3824 does not growH7401 faintH7401, And you are not afraidH3372 at the 19reportH8052 that will be heardH8085 in the landH776-- For the reportH8052 will comeH935 20one yearH8141, And afterH310 that 21another reportH8052 in 22another yearH8141, And violenceH2555 will be in the landH776 With 23rulerH4910 againstH5921 rulerH4910--47ThereforeH3651 beholdH2009, daysH3117 are comingH935 When I will punishH6485 the 24idolsH6456 of BabylonH894; And her wholeH3605 landH776 will be 25putH954 to shameH954 And allH3605 her slainH2491 will fallH5307 in her midstH8432.48Then 26heavenH8064 and earthH776 and allH3605 that is in them Will shoutH7442 for joyH7442 overH5921 BabylonH894, For 27the destroyersH7703 will comeH935 to her from the northH6828,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068.

4928IndeedH1571 BabylonH894 is to fallH5307 for the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478, As alsoH1571 for BabylonH894 29the slainH2491 of allH3605 the earthH776 have fallenH5307.50You 30whoH6412 have escapedH6412 the swordH2719, DepartH1980! Do not stayH5975! 31RememberH2142 the LordH3068 from afarH7350, And let JerusalemH3389 32comeH5927 to your mindH3824.5133We are ashamedH954 becauseH3588 we have heardH8085 reproachH2781; DisgraceH3639 has coveredH3680 our facesH6440, For 34aliensH2114 have enteredH935 The holyH4720 placesH4720 of the Lord’sH3068 houseH1004.

52“ThereforeH3651 beholdH2009, the daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “When I will punishH6485 her 35idolsH6456, And the mortallyH2491 woundedH2491 will groanH602 throughoutH3605 her landH776.53ThoughH3588 BabylonH894 should 36ascendH5927 to the heavensH8064, And thoughH3588 she should fortifyH1219 37her loftyH4791 strongholdH5797, From 38Me destroyersH7703 will comeH935 to her,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

And their 41wavesH1530 will roarH1993 like manyH7227 watersH4325; The tumultH7588 of their voicesH6963 42soundsH5414 forthH5414.56For the 43destroyerH7703 is comingH935 againstH5921 her, againstH5921 BabylonH894, And her mightyH1368 menH1368 will be capturedH3920, Their 44bowsH7198 are shatteredH2865; For the LordH3068 is a GodH410 of 45recompenseH1578, He will fullyH7999 repayH7999.57“I will 46makeH7937 her princesH8269 and her wiseH2450 menH2450 drunkH7937, Her governorsH6346, her prefectsH5461 and her mightyH1368 menH1368, That they may sleepH3462 a 47perpetualH5769 sleepH8142 and not wakeH3364 up,” 48DeclaresH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.
