Jeremiah 51:30-58

30The mightyH1368 menH1368 of BabylonH894 have forborne to fightH3898, they remainH3427 in their strongH1368 holds; their might hath failedH2308; they are becomeH1961 as womenH802: herH802 dwellingH3427 placesH4908 are setH3341 on fireH3341; herH802 barsH1280 are brokenH7665.

31One post shall runH7323 to meetH7125 anotherH5046, and one messengerH5046 to meetH7125 anotherH5046, to shew the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 that his cityH5892 is takenH3920 on every quarter:

32and the passages are surprised, and the reeds they have burnedH8313 with fireH784, and the menH376 of warH4421 are affrighted.

33For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: The daughterH1323 of BabylonH894 is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is troddenH1869; yet a littleH4592 whileH5750, and the time of harvestH7105 shall comeH935 for herH935.

34NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath devouredH398 meH398, he hath crushedH2000 meH398, he hath madeH3322 meH398 an empty vesselH3627, he hath swallowedH1104 meH398 upH1104 like a dragonH8577, he hath filledH4390 his maw with my delicates; he hath cast meH398 out.

35The violenceH2555 done to meH413 and to my fleshH7607 be uponH5921 BabylonH894, shall the inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726 sayH559; and, My bloodH1818 be uponH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778, shall JerusalemH3389 sayH559.

36Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: BeholdH2005, I will pleadH7378 thy causeH7379, and takeH5358 vengeanceH5360 for thee; and I will dryH3001 upH3001 herH559 seaH3220, and makeH3001 herH559 fountainH4726 dryH3001.

37And BabylonH894 shall becomeH1961 heapsH1530, a dwellingH3427 placeH1961 for jackalsH8577, an astonishment, and an hissingH8322, withoutH369 inhabitantH3427.

38They shall roarH7580 togetherH3162 like youngH3715 lionsH738; they shall growlH5286 as lions’H738 whelps.

39When they are heated, I will makeH7896 their feastH4960, and I will makeH7896 them drunken, that they may rejoiceH5937, and sleepH8142 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and notH3808 wakeH6974, saith the LORDH3068.

40I will bringH3381 them downH3381 like lambsH3733 to the slaughterH2873, like ramsH352 with he-goats.

41HowH349 is SheshachH8347 takenH3920! and the praiseH8416 of the wholeH3605 earthH776 surprised! howH349 is BabylonH894 becomeH1961 a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471!

42The seaH3220 is comeH5927 upH5927 uponH5921 BabylonH894: she is coveredH3680 with the multitudeH1995 of the wavesH1530 thereof.

43HerH3605 citiesH5892 are becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, a dryH6723 landH776, and a desertH6160, a landH776 wherein noH3808 manH376 dwelleth, neitherH3808 doth anyH3605 sonH1121 of manH376 passH5674 thereby.

44And I will doH3318 judgmentH6485 uponH5921 BelH1078 in BabylonH894, and I will bringH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of his mouthH6310 that whichH1471 he hath swallowedH1105 upH5921; and the nationsH1471 shall notH3808 flowH3318 togetherH5921 anyH5750 moreH5750 unto him: yea, the wallH2346 of BabylonH894 shall fallH5307.

45My peopleH5971, goH3318 ye outH3318 of the midstH8432 of herH376, and saveH4422 yourselves everyH376 manH376 from the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068.

46And let notH6435 your heartH3824 faintH7401, neither fearH3372 ye for the rumour that shall be heardH8085 in the landH776; for a rumour shall comeH935 one yearH8141, and afterH310 that in anotherH8052 yearH8141 shall comeH935 a rumour, and violenceH2555 in the landH776, rulerH4910 againstH5921 rulerH4910.

47Therefore, beholdH2009, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will doH3605 judgmentH935 uponH5921 the gravenH6456 imagesH6456 of BabylonH894, and herH3605 wholeH3605 landH776 shall be ashamedH954; and allH3605 herH3605 slainH2491 shall fallH5307 in the midstH8432 of herH3605.

48Then the heavenH8064 and the earthH776, and allH3605 that is therein, shall singH7442 for joyH7442 over BabylonH894; for the spoilers shall comeH935 unto herH3605 from the northH6828, saith the LORDH3068.

49As BabylonH894 hath caused the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 to fallH5307, soH1571 at BabylonH894 shall fallH5307 the slainH2491 of allH3605 the landH776.

50Ye that have escaped the swordH2719, goH1980 ye, standH5975 notH408 stillH5975; rememberH2142 the LORDH3068 from afarH7350, and letH408 JerusalemH3389 comeH1980 intoH1980 your mindH3824.

51WeH3588 are ashamedH954, becauseH3588 weH3588 have heardH8085 reproachH2781; confusion hath coveredH3680 our facesH6440: for strangersH2114 are comeH935 intoH935 the sanctuariesH4720 of the LORD’SH3068 houseH1004.

52Wherefore, beholdH2009, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith the LORDH3068, that I will doH3605 judgmentH935 uponH5921 herH3605 gravenH6456 imagesH6456; and throughH5921 allH3605 herH3605 landH776 the woundedH2491 shall groanH602.

53ThoughH3588 BabylonH894 should mountH5927 upH5927 to heavenH8064, and thoughH3588 sheH3588 should fortifyH1219 the heightH4791 of herH935 strengthH5797, yet from meH935 shall spoilers comeH935 unto herH935, saith the LORDH3068.

54The soundH6963 of a cryH2201 from BabylonH894, and of greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778!

55For the LORDH3068 spoileth BabylonH894, and destroyeth outH4480 of herH5414 the greatH1419 voiceH6963; and their wavesH1530 roarH1993 like manyH7227 watersH4325, the noiseH6963 of their voiceH6963 is utteredH5414:

56for the spoiler is comeH935 uponH5921 herH5921, evenH3588 uponH5921 BabylonH894, and herH5921 mightyH1368 menH1368 are takenH3920, their bowsH7198 are broken in pieces: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH410 of recompences, he shall surelyH3588 requite.

57And I will makeH7937 drunkH7937 herH7937 princesH8269 and herH7937 wiseH2450 menH1368, herH7937 governorsH6346 and herH7937 deputies, and herH7937 mightyH1368 menH1368; and they shall sleepH8142 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and notH3808 wakeH6974, saith the KingH4428, whoseH8034 nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.

58ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: The broadH7342 wallsH2346 of BabylonH894 shall be utterly overthrown, and herH559 highH1364 gatesH8179 shall be burnedH3341 with fireH784; and the peoplesH5971 shall labour for vanity, and the nationsH5971 for the fireH784; and they shall be wearyH3021.
