Jeremiah 51:5-14
5For IsraelH3478 hath not been forsakenH488, nor JudahH3063 of his GodH430, of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635; though their landH776 was filledH4390 with sinH817 against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
6Flee outH5127 of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and deliverH4422 every manH376 his soulH5315: be not cut offH1826 in her iniquityH5771; for this is the timeH6256 of Yhwh'sH3068 vengeanceH5360; he will renderH7999 unto her a recompenceH1576.
7BabylonH894 hath been a goldenH2091 cupH3563 in Yhwh'sH3068 handH3027, that made all the earthH776 drunkenH7937: the nationsH1471 have drunkenH8354 of her wineH3196; therefore the nationsH1471 are madH1984.
8BabylonH894 is suddenlyH6597 fallenH5307 and destroyedH7665: howlH3213 for her; takeH3947 balmH6875 for her painH4341, if so be she may be healedH7495.
9We would have healedH7495 BabylonH894, but she is not healedH7495: forsakeH5800 her, and let us goH3212 every oneH376 into his own countryH776: for her judgmentH4941 reachethH5060 unto heavenH8064, and is lifted upH5375 even to the skiesH7834.
10YhwhH3068 hath brought forthH3318 our righteousnessH6666: comeH935, and let us declareH5608 in ZionH6726 the workH4639 of YhwhH3068 our GodH430.
11Make brightH1305 the arrowsH2671; gatherH4390 the shieldsH7982: YhwhH3068 hath raised upH5782 the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074: for his deviceH4209 is against BabylonH894, to destroyH7843 it; because it is the vengeanceH5360 of YhwhH3068, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964.1
12Set upH5375 the standardH5251 upon the wallsH2346 of BabylonH894, make the watchH4929 strongH2388, set upH6965 the watchmenH8104, prepareH3559 the ambushesH693: for YhwhH3068 hath both devisedH2161 and doneH6213 that which he spakeH1696 against the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894.2
13O thou that dwellestH7931 upon manyH7227 watersH4325, abundantH7227 in treasuresH214, thine endH7093 is comeH935, and the measureH520 of thy covetousnessH1215.
14YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 hath swornH7650 by himselfH5315, saying, Surely I will fillH4390 thee with menH120, as with caterpillersH3218; and they shall lift upH6030 a shoutH1959 against thee.34
