Jeremiah 50:2-28

2“1DeclareH5046 and proclaimH8085 among the nationsH1471. ProclaimH8085 it and 2liftH5375 upH5375 a flagH5251, Do not concealH3582 it. SayH559, ‘3BabylonH894 has been capturedH3920, 4BelH1078 has been putH954 toH954 shameH954, 5MardukH4781 has beenH2865 6shatteredH2865; Her 7idolsH6091 have been putH954 toH954 shameH954, her imagesH1544 have beenH2865 shatteredH2865.’ 3For a nationH1471 has comeH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 her from the 8northH6828; it will makeH7896 her landH776 9an objectH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047, and there will be 10noH3808 inhabitantH3427 in it. WhetherH4480 peopleH120 orH5704 animalsH929, they have wanderedH5110 offH5110, they have goneH1980!

4“In thoseH1992 daysH3117 and at that timeH6256,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 will comeH935, they and the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 11asH3164 wellH3164; they will goH1980 along 12weepingH1058 as they goH1980, and it will be 13the LordH3068 their GodH430 whom they will seekH1245. 5They will 14askH7592 for the wayH1870 to ZionH6726, turning their facesH6440 15in its directionH2008; 16they 17will comeH935 so that they may joinH3867 themselves to the LordH3068 in an 18everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 that will not be forgottenH7911.

6“My peopleH5971 have becomeH1961 19lostH6 sheepH6629; 20Their shepherdsH7462 have ledH8582 them astrayH8582. They have made them turnH7725 asideH7725 on the 21mountainsH2022. They have goneH1980 from mountainH2022 to hillH1389, They have forgottenH7911 their 22restingH7258 placeH7258.7AllH3605 who foundH4672 them have devouredH398 them; And their adversariesH6862 have saidH559, ‘23We are not guiltyH816, SinceH8478H834 they have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068 who is the 24habitationH5116 of righteousnessH6664, The LordH3068, the 25hopeH4723 of their fathersH1.’

8“WanderH5110 awayH5110 from the 26midstH8432 of BabylonH894 And 27goH3318 outH3318 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; Be like maleH6260 goatsH6260 28at the headH6440 of the flockH6629.9For beholdH2009, I am going to 29rouseH5782 and bringH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 BabylonH894 A contingentH6951 of greatH1419 nationsH1471 from the landH776 of the northH6828, And they will drawH6186 upH6186 their battleH6186 linesH6186 against her; From thereH8033 she will be takenH3920 captiveH3920. Their arrowsH2671 will be like 30an expertH7919 warriorH1368 Who does not returnH7725 empty-handedH7387.103132ChaldeaH3778 will becomeH1961 plunderH7998; AllH3605 who plunderH7997 her will haveH7646 enoughH7646,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

11“BecauseH3588 you areH8055 gladH8055, becauseH3588 you areH5937 jubilantH5937, You who 33pillageH8154 My heritageH5159, BecauseH3588 you skipH6335 aboutH6335 34like a threshingH1758 35heiferH5697 And neighH6670 like 36stallionsH47,12Your 37motherH517 38will beH954 greatlyH3966 ashamedH954, She who gaveH3205 you birthH3205 39will be humiliatedH2659. BeholdH2009, she will be the leastH319 of the nationsH1471, A 40wildernessH4057, a dryH6723 landH6723 and a desertH6160.13BecauseH4480 of the wrathH7110 of the LordH3068 she will 41not be inhabitedH3427, But she will be 42completelyH3605 desolateH8077; EveryoneH3605 who passesH5674 by BabylonH894 43will be horrifiedH8074 And will hissH8319 becauseH5921 of allH3605 her woundsH4347.14DrawH6186 upH6186 your battleH6186 linesH6186 againstH5921 BabylonH894 on everyH5439 sideH5439, AllH3605 of you who 44bendH1869 the bowH7198; ShootH3034 at her, do not spareH2550 your arrowsH2671, For she has 45sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068.15RaiseH7321 your battleH7321 cryH7321 againstH5921 her on everyH5439 sideH5439! She has 46givenH5414 47herselfH3027 upH5414, her towersH806 have fallenH5307, Her 48wallsH2346 have been tornH2040 downH2040. For thisH1931 is the 49vengeanceH5360 of the LordH3068: TakeH5358 vengeanceH5358 on her; 50As she has doneH6213 to others, so doH6213 to her.16EliminateH3772 the 51sowerH2232 from BabylonH894 And the one who wieldsH8610 the sickleH4038 at the timeH6256 of harvestH7105; From 52the 53swordH2719 of the oppressorH3238 54EachH376 of them will turnH6437 backH6437 to his own peopleH5971 And eachH376 of them will fleeH5127 to his own landH776.

17“IsraelH3478 is a 55scatteredH6340 56flockH7716, the 57lionsH738 have drivenH5080 them awayH5080. The firstH7223 oneH7223 who devouredH398 him was the 58kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and thisH2088 lastH314 oneH314 who has gnawedH6105 his bonesH6105 is 59NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894. 18ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘BeholdH2009, I am going to punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and his landH776, justH3512 asH3512 I 60punishedH6485 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 19And I will 61bringH7725 IsraelH3478 backH7725 to his pastureH5116 and he will grazeH7462 on CarmelH3760 and BashanH1316, and his 62desireH5315 will beH7646 satisfiedH7646 in the 63hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669 and GileadH1568. 20In thoseH1992 daysH3117 and at that timeH6256,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘searchH1245 will be madeH1245 for the wrongdoingH5771 of IsraelH3478, but 64thereH369 willH369 beH369 noneH369; and for the sinsH2403 of JudahH3063, but they will not be foundH4672; for I will forgiveH5545 those 65whomH834 I leaveH7604 asH7604 aH7604 remnantH7604.’

21“AgainstH5921 the landH776 of 66MerathaimH4850, goH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 it, And againstH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of 6768PekodH6489. KillH2717 and 69completelyH2763 destroyH2763 them,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “And doH6213 according to everythingH3605 that I have commandedH6680 you.22The 70noiseH6963 of battleH4421 is in the landH776, And greatH1419 destructionH7667.23HowH349 the 71hammerH6360 of the wholeH3605 earthH776 Has been cutH1438 offH1438 and brokenH7665! HowH349 BabylonH894 has becomeH1961 An objectH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047 among the nationsH1471!24I 72setH3369 aH3369 trapH3369 for you and you were alsoH1571 73caughtH3920, BabylonH894, While you yourselfH855 wereH3045 not awareH3045; You have been foundH4672 and alsoH1571 seizedH8610 BecauseH3588 you have engagedH1624 inH1624 74conflictH1624 with the LordH3068.”25The LordH3068 has openedH6605 His armoryH214 And has broughtH3318 outH3318 the 75weaponsH3627 of His indignationH2195, For it is a 76workH4399 of the LordH136 77GodH3068 of armiesH6635 In the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778.26ComeH935 to her from the 78farthestH7093 borderH7093; 79OpenH6605 upH6605 her barnsH3965, PileH5549 her upH5549 likeH3644 heapsH6194 ofH6194 grainH6194 And 8081completelyH2763 destroyH2763 her, Let nothingH408 be leftH7611 to her.2782PutH2717 allH3605 her bullsH6499 toH2717 theH2717 swordH2717; Let them 83goH3381 downH3381 to the slaughterH2874! WoeH1945 be upon them, for their 84dayH3117 has comeH935, The timeH6256 of their punishmentH6486.

28There is a 85soundH6963 of fugitivesH5127 and refugeesH6412 from the landH776 of BabylonH894, To declareH5046 in ZionH6726 the 86vengeanceH5360 of the LordH3068 our GodH430, VengeanceH5360 for His 87templeH1964.
