Jeremiah 51:39-57

39In their heatH2527 I will makeH7896 their feastsH4960, and I will make them drunkH7937, that they may rejoiceH5937, and sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

40I will bring them downH3381 like lambsH3733 to the slaughterH2873, like ramsH352 with male goatsH6260.

41How is SheshachH8347 takenH3920! and how is the praiseH8416 of the whole earthH776 surprisedH8610! how is BabylonH894 become an horrorH8047 among the nationsH1471!

42The seaH3220 is come upH5927 upon BabylonH894: she is coveredH3680 with the multitudeH1995 of its wavesH1530.

43Her citiesH5892 are a desolationH8047, a dryH6723 landH776, and a wildernessH6160, a landH776 in which no manH376 dwellethH3427, neither doth any sonH1121 of manH120 passH5674 by itH2004.

44And I will punishH6485 BelH1078 in BabylonH894, and I will bring forthH3318 out of his mouthH6310 that which he hath swallowedH1105: and the nationsH1471 shall not flow togetherH5102 any more to him: even the wallH2346 of BabylonH894 shall fallH5307.

45My peopleH5971, depart fromH3318 the midstH8432 of her, and deliverH4422 ye every manH376 his soulH5315 from the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068.

46And lest your heartH3824 should faintH7401, and ye should fearH3372 for the rumourH8052 that shall be heardH8085 in the landH776; a rumourH8052 shall both comeH935 one yearH8141, and afterH310 that in another yearH8141 shall come a rumourH8052, and violenceH2555 in the landH776, rulerH4910 against rulerH4910.1

47Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will execute judgmentH6485 upon the graven imagesH6456 of BabylonH894: and her whole landH776 shall be confoundedH954, and all her slainH2491 shall fallH5307 in the midstH8432 of her.2

48Then the heavenH8064 and the earthH776, and all that is in them, shall singH7442 for BabylonH894: for the spoilersH7703 shall comeH935 to her from the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

49AsH1571 BabylonH894 hath caused the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 to fallH5307, so at BabylonH894 shall fallH5307 the slainH2491 of all the earthH776.34

50Ye that have escapedH6405 the swordH2719, go awayH1980, stand not stillH5975: rememberH2142 the LORDH3068 afar offH7350, and let JerusalemH3389 comeH5927 into your mindH3824.

51We are confoundedH954, because we have heardH8085 reproachH2781: shameH3639 hath coveredH3680 our facesH6440: for foreignersH2114 are comeH935 into the sanctuariesH4720 of the LORD’SH3068 houseH1004.

52Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will execute judgmentH6485 upon her graven imagesH6456: and through all her landH776 the woundedH2491 shall groanH602.

53Though BabylonH894 should mount upH5927 to heavenH8064, and though she should fortifyH1219 the heightH4791 of her strengthH5797, yet fromH227 me shall spoilersH7703 comeH935 to her, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

54A soundH6963 of a cryH2201 cometh from BabylonH894, and greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778:

55Because the LORDH3068 hath laid wasteH7703 BabylonH894, and destroyedH6 out of her the greatH1419 voiceH6963; when her wavesH1530 roarH1993 like greatH7227 watersH4325, a noiseH7588 of their voiceH6963 is utteredH5414:

56Because the spoilerH7703 is comeH935 upon her, even upon BabylonH894, and her mighty menH1368 are takenH3920, every one of their bowsH7198 is brokenH2865: for the LORDH3068 GodH410 of recompencesH1578 shall surelyH7999 repayH7999.

57And I will make drunkH7937 her princesH8269, and her wiseH2450 men, her captainsH6346, and her rulersH5461, and her mighty menH1368: and they shall sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
