Jeremiah 51:39-57

39When they becomeH2552 heatedH2552 up, I will serveH7896 them their banquetH4960 And 1makeH7937 them drunkH7937, soH4616 thatH4616 they may rejoiceH5937 inH5937 triumphH5937, 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 withH5973 maleH6260 goatsH6260.

41“HowH349 56SheshakH8347 has been capturedH3920, And 7the praiseH8416 of the wholeH3605 earthH776 has been seizedH8610! HowH349 BabylonH894 has becomeH1961 an objectH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047 among the nationsH1471!42The 89seaH3220 has comeH5927 upH5927 overH5921 BabylonH894; She has been engulfedH3680 by its roaringH1995 wavesH1530.43Her citiesH5892 have becomeH1961 an 10objectH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047, A dryH6723 landH776 and a desertH6160, A landH776 in whichH2004 11noH3808H3605 oneH376 livesH3427 And through whichH2004 noH3808 12oneH1121 of mankindH120 passesH5674.4413I will punishH6485 BelH1078 in BabylonH894, And I will make whatH1105 he has swallowedH1105 14comeH3318 outH3318 of his mouthH6310; And the nationsH1471 will noH3808 longerH5750 15streamH5102 towardH413 him. EvenH1571 the 16wallH2346 of BabylonH894 has fallenH5307 downH5307!

45“17ComeH3318 outH3318 from her midstH8432, My peopleH5971, And eachH376 of you 18saveH4422 yourselvesH5315 From the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LordH3068.46Now, 19soH6435 thatH6435 your heartH3824 does notH6435 growH7401 faintH7401, And you areH3372 not afraidH3372 at the 20reportH8052 that will be heardH8085 in the landH776-- For the reportH8052 will comeH935 in 21one yearH8141, And afterH310 that 22another reportH8052 in 23another yearH8141, And violenceH2555 will be in the landH776 With 24rulerH4910 againstH5921 rulerH4910--47ThereforeH3651 beholdH2009, daysH3117 are comingH935 When I will punishH6485 the 25idolsH6456 of BabylonH894; And her wholeH3605 landH776 will be 26putH954 toH954 shameH954. And allH3605 her slainH2491 will fallH5307 in her midstH8432.48Then 27heavenH8064 and earthH776 and everythingH3605 that is in them Will shoutH7442 forH7442 joyH7442 overH5921 BabylonH894, BecauseH3588 28the destroyersH7703 will comeH935 to her from the northH6828,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068.

4929IndeedH1571, BabylonH894 is to fallH5307 for the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478, As 30the slainH2491 of allH3605 the earthH776 have alsoH1571 fallenH5307 for BabylonH894.50You 31whoH6412 have escapedH6412 the swordH2719, GoH1980! Do not stayH5975! 32RememberH2142 the LordH3068 from farH7350 awayH7350, And let JerusalemH3389 33comeH5927 to your mindH3824.5134We areH954 ashamedH954 becauseH3588 we have heardH8085 rebukeH2781; DisgraceH3639 has coveredH3680 our facesH6440, Because 35strangersH2114 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 36idolsH6456, And the mortallyH2491 woundedH2491 will groanH602 throughoutH3605 her landH776.53ThoughH3588 BabylonH894 37ascendsH5927 to the heavensH8064, And thoughH3588 she fortifiesH1219 38her loftyH4791 strongholdH5797, DestroyersH7703 will comeH935 from 39Me to her,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

54The 40soundH6963 of an outcryH2201 from BabylonH894, And of greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778!55For the LordH3068 is going to destroyH7703 BabylonH894, And He will makeH6 her loudH1419 41noiseH6963 vanishH6 from her. And their 42wavesH1530 will roarH1993 like manyH7227 watersH4325; The clamorH7588 of their voicesH6963 43soundsH5414 forthH5414.56For the 44destroyerH7703 is comingH935 againstH5921 her, againstH5921 BabylonH894, And her warriorsH1368 will be capturedH3920, Their 45bowsH7198 shatteredH2865; For the LordH3068 is a GodH410 of 46retributionH1578, He will fullyH7999 repayH7999.57“I will 47makeH7937 her leadersH8269 and her wiseH2450 menH2450 drunkH7937, Her governorsH6346, her officialsH5461, and her warriorsH1368, So that they will sleepH3462 a 48perpetualH5769 sleepH8142 and not wakeH3364 up,” 49DeclaresH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
