Jeremiah 51:5-14

5For 1neitherH3808 IsraelH3478 norH3808 JudahH3063 has been 2forsakenH488 By his GodH430, the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, AlthoughH3588 their landH776 is 3fullH4390 of guiltH817 4BeforeH4480 the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.65FleeH5127 from the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, And eachH376 of you saveH4422 his lifeH5315! Do not be 67destroyedH1826 in her 8punishmentH5771, For thisH1931 is the 9Lord’sH3068 timeH6256 of vengeanceH5360; He is going to 10renderH7999 recompenseH1576 to her.7BabylonH894 has been a goldenH2091 11cupH3563 in the handH3027 of the LordH3068, IntoxicatingH7937 allH3605 the earthH776. The 12nationsH1471 have drunkH8354 of her wineH3196; ThereforeH5921H3651 the nationsH1471 are 13goingH1984 madH1984.8SuddenlyH6597 14BabylonH894 has fallenH5307 and been brokenH7665; 15WailH3213 overH5921 her! 16BringH3947 17balmH6875 for her painH4341; PerhapsH194 she may be healedH7495.9We applied healingH7495 to BabylonH894, but she was not healedH7495; ForsakeH5800 her and 18let us eachH376 goH1980 to his own countryH776, For her judgmentH4941 has 19reachedH5060 to heavenH8064 And 20towersH5375 up to the very skiesH7834.10The LordH3068 has 21broughtH3318 22aboutH3318 our vindicationH6666; ComeH935 and let us 23recountH5608 in ZionH6726 The workH4639 of the LordH3068 our GodH430!

1124SharpenH1305 the arrowsH2671, fillH4390 the quiversH7982! The LordH3068 has arousedH5782 the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074, BecauseH3588 His purposeH4209 is againstH5921 BabylonH894 to destroyH7843 it; For it is the 25vengeanceH5360 of the LordH3068, vengeanceH5360 for His templeH1964.1226LiftH5375 up a 27signalH5251 againstH413 the wallsH2346 of BabylonH894; PostH2388 a strongH2388 guardH4929, StationH6965 28sentriesH8104, PlaceH3559 men in ambushH693! For the LordH3068 has bothH1571 29purposedH2161 and performedH6213 WhatH834 He spokeH1696 concerningH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894.13O you who 30dwellH7931 by manyH7227 watersH4325, AbundantH7227 in 31treasuresH214, Your endH7093 has comeH935, The 32measureH520 of your 3334endH1215.14The 35LordH3068 of hostsH6635 has swornH7650 by HimselfH5315: “SurelyH3588H518 I will fillH4390 you with a 36populationH120 like 37locustsH3218, And they will cryH6031 out with 38shoutsH1959 of victory overH5921 you.”
