Jeremiah 51:5-14
5For IsraelH3478 is notH3808 forsakenH488, norH3808 JudahH3063, of his GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; thoughH3588 their landH776 is fullH4390 of guiltH817 against the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
6FleeH5127 outH376 of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and saveH4422 everyH376 manH376 his lifeH5315; be notH408 cut offH6256 in herH3588 iniquityH5771: for it is the time of the LORD’SH3068 vengeanceH5360; he will render unto herH3588 a recompence.
7BabylonH894 hath been a goldenH2091 cupH3563 in the LORD’SH3068 handH3027; that madeH3605 allH3605 the earthH776 drunken: the nationsH1471 have drunkH7937 of herH3605 wineH3196; therefore the nationsH1471 are mad.
8BabylonH894 is suddenlyH6597 fallenH5307 and destroyed: howlH3213 for herH3947; takeH3947 balmH6875 for herH3947 painH4341, ifH194 soH3947 be she may be healedH7495.
9WeH3588 would have healedH7495 BabylonH894, but sheH3588 is notH3808 healedH7495: forsakeH5800 herH413, and letH3808 usH413 go everyH376 one intoH413 his ownH376 countryH776: for herH413 judgmentH4941 reacheth unto heavenH8064, and is liftedH5375 upH5375 evenH5704 to the skiesH7834.
10The LORDH3068 hath broughtH935 forthH3318 our righteousnessH6666: comeH935, and let usH935 declareH5608 in ZionH6726 the workH4639 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
11MakeH3588 sharp the arrowsH2671; hold firm the shieldsH7982: the LORDH3068 hath stirredH5782 upH5921 the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074; becauseH3588 his device is againstH5921 BabylonH894, to destroyH7843 it: for it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964.
12SetH6965 upH6965 a standardH5251 againstH413 the wallsH2346 of BabylonH894, makeH6213 the watchH8104 strongH2388, setH6965 the watchmenH8104, prepareH3559 the ambushesH693: for the LORDH3068 hath bothH1571 devised and doneH6213 that whichH834 he spake concerning the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894.
13O thou that dwellest uponH5921 manyH7227 watersH4325, abundantH7227 in treasuresH214, thine endH7093 is comeH935, the measureH520 of thy covetousness.
14The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650 by himselfH5315, saying, SurelyH3588 I will fillH4390 thee with menH120, as with the cankerworm; and they shall lift upH5921 a shoutH1959 againstH5921 thee.
