Revised Version 1895
Jeremiah 51:48-56
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.
