Jeremiah 51:14-27
14The 1LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has swornH7650 by HimselfH5315: “I will certainlyH3588H518 fillH4390 you with a 2populationH120 like 3locustsH3218, And they will cryH6031 outH6031 with shoutsH1959 ofH1959 victoryH1959 overH5921 you.”
15It is 4He who madeH6213 the earthH776 by His powerH3581, Who establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by His wisdomH2451, And by His understandingH8394 He 5stretchedH5186 outH5186 the heavensH8064.16When He uttersH5414 His 6voiceH6963, there is a roarH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064, And He makes the 7cloudsH5387 ascendH5927 from the endH7097 of the earthH776. He makesH6213 lightningH1300 for the rainH4306 And bringsH3318 outH3318 8windH7307 from His storehousesH214.179EveryH3605 personH120 isH1197 stupidH1197, devoidH4480 of knowledgeH1847; EveryH3605 goldsmithH6884 is putH954 toH954 shameH954 by his 10idolsH6459, For his castH5262 metalH5262 imagesH5262 are 11deceitfulH8267, And there is noH3808 breathH7307 in them.18They are 12worthlessH1892, a workH4639 of mockeryH8595; At the timeH6256 of their punishmentH6486 they will perishH6.19The 13portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like theseH428; For He is the 14MakerH3335 of everythingH3605, And of the 15tribeH7626 of His inheritanceH5159; The 16LordH3068 of armiesH6635 is His nameH8034.20He says, “You are My 1718war-clubH4661, My weaponH3627 of warH4421; And with you I 19shatterH5310 nationsH1471, And with you I destroyH7843 kingdomsH4467.21With you I 20shatterH5310 the horseH5483 and his riderH7392, And with you I shatterH5310 the 21chariotH7393 and its riderH7392,22And with you I shatterH5310 22manH376 and womanH802, And with you I shatterH5310 the oldH2205 manH376 and 23youthH5288, And with you I shatterH5310 the 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 officialsH5461.
24“But I will repayH7999 BabylonH894 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of 24ChaldeaH3778 for 25allH3605 their evilH7463 that they have doneH6213 in ZionH6726 before your eyesH5869,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.25“BeholdH2009, 26I am againstH413 you, mountainH2022 of 27destructionH4889 That destroysH7843 the wholeH3605 earthH776,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “And I will stretchH5186 outH5186 My handH3027 againstH5921 you, And rollH1556 you downH1556 from the rockyH5553 cliffsH5553, And I will makeH5414 you a 28burntH8316 out mountainH2022.26They will not takeH3947 from you even a stoneH68 for a cornerH6438 NorH3808 a stoneH68 for foundationsH4144, But you will be 29desolateH8077 foreverH5769,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
2730LiftH5375 upH5375 a signalH5251 flagH5251 in the landH776, BlowH8628 a trumpetH7782 among the nationsH1471! ConsecrateH6942 the nationsH1471 againstH5921 her, SummonH8085 againstH5921 her the 31kingdomsH4467 of 32AraratH780, MinniH4508, and 33AshkenazH813; AppointH6485 an officerH2951 againstH5921 her, BringH5927 upH5927 the 34horsesH5483 like bristlyH5569 locustsH3218.
