Jeremiah 51:5-14
5For 1neitherH3808 IsraelH3478 norH3808 JudahH3063 has been 2forsakenH488 By his GodH430, the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, 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 6perishH1826 in her 7punishmentH5771, For thisH1931 is the 8Lord’sH3068 timeH6256 of vengeanceH5360; He is going to 9repayH7999 to her whatH1576 she deservesH1576.7BabylonH894 has been a goldenH2091 10cupH3563 in the handH3027 of the LordH3068, IntoxicatingH7937 allH3605 the earthH776. The 11nationsH1471 have drunkH8354 of her wineH3196; ThereforeH5921H3651 the nationsH1471 are 12goingH1984 insaneH1984.8SuddenlyH6597 13BabylonH894 has fallenH5307 and been brokenH7665; 14WailH3213 overH5921 her! 15BringH3947 16balmH6875 for her painH4341; PerhapsH194 she may be healedH7495.9We applied healingH7495 to BabylonH894, but she was not healedH7495; AbandonH5800 her and 17let’s eachH376 goH1980 to his own countryH776, For her judgmentH4941 has 18reachedH5060 to heavenH8064 And it risesH5375 to the cloudsH7834.10The LordH3068 has 19broughtH3318 20aboutH3318 our vindicationH6666; ComeH935 and let’s 21recountH5608 in ZionH6726 The workH4639 of the LordH3068 our GodH430!
1122SharpenH1305 the arrowsH2671, fillH4390 the quiversH7982! The LordH3068 has stirredH5782 upH5782 the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074, BecauseH3588 His planH4209 is againstH5921 BabylonH894 to destroyH7843 it; For it is the 23vengeanceH5360 of the LordH3068, vengeanceH5360 for His templeH1964.1224LiftH5375 upH5375 a signalH5251 flagH5251 againstH413 the wallsH2346 of BabylonH894; PostH2388 a strongH2388 guardH4929, StationH6965 25sentriesH8104, SetH3559 upH3559 an ambushH693! For the LordH3068 has bothH1571 26plannedH2161 and performedH6213 WhatH834 He spokeH1696 concerningH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894.13You who 27liveH7931 by manyH7227 watersH4325, AbundantH7227 in 28treasuresH214, Your endH7093 has comeH935, The 29measureH520 of your 3031endH1215.14The 32LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has swornH7650 by HimselfH5315: “I will certainlyH3588H518 fillH4390 you with a 33populationH120 like 34locustsH3218, And they will cryH6031 outH6031 with shoutsH1959 ofH1959 victoryH1959 overH5921 you.”
