Jeremiah 50:29-40

29Call togetherH8085 the archersH7228 against BabylonH894: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, encampH2583 against it on every sideH5439; let none of them escapeH6413: recompenseH7999 her according to her workH6467; according to all that she hath doneH6213, doH6213 to her: for she hath been proudH2102 against the LORDH3068, against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. 30Therefore her young menH970 shall fallH5307 in the streetsH7339, and all her menH582 of warH4421 shall be cut offH1826 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. 31Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proudH2087, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635: for thy dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 that I will punishH6485 thee.1 32And the most proudH2087 shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and none shall raise him upH6965: and I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 all aroundH5439 him.2

33Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 were oppressedH6231 togetherH3162: and all that took them captivesH7617 held them fastH2388; they refusedH3985 to let them goH7971. 34Their RedeemerH1350 is strongH2389; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: he shall thoroughlyH7378 pleadH7378 their causeH7379, that he may give restH7280 to the landH776, and disquietH7264 the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894. 35A swordH2719 is upon the ChaldeansH3778, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894, and upon her princesH8269, and upon her wiseH2450 men . 36A swordH2719 is upon the liarsH907; and they shall become foolsH2973: a swordH2719 is upon her mighty menH1368; and they shall be dismayedH2865.3 37A swordH2719 is upon their horsesH5483, and upon their chariotsH7393, and upon all the mixed peopleH6153 that are in the midstH8432 of her; and they shall become as womenH802: a swordH2719 is upon her treasuriesH214; and they shall be robbedH962. 38A droughtH2721 is upon her watersH4325; and they shall be dried upH3001: for it is the landH776 of graven imagesH6456, and they are madH1984 over their idolsH367. 39Therefore the wild beasts of the desertH6728 with the wild beasts of the islesH338 shall dwellH3427 there, and the owlsH1323H3284 shall dwellH3427 in it: and it shall be no more inhabitedH3427 for everH5331; neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755. 40As GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and its neighbourH7934 cities, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; so shall no manH376 abideH3427 there, neither shall any sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 in it.
