Jeremiah 51:35-58

The violence
<02555>
done to me and to my flesh
<07607>
[be] upon Babylon
<0894>_,
shall the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Zion
<06726>
say
<0559> (8799)_;
and my blood
<01818>
upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Chaldea
<03778>_,
shall Jerusalem
<03389>
say
<0559> (8799)_.
{The violence...: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will plead
<07378> (8801)
thy cause
<07379>_,
and take vengeance
<05358> (8765)
for thee
<05360>_;
and I will dry up
<02717> (8689)
her sea
<03220>_,
and make her springs
<04726>
dry
<03001> (8689)_.
And Babylon
<0894>
shall become heaps
<01530>_,
a dwellingplace
<04583>
for dragons
<08577>_,
an astonishment
<08047>_,
and an hissing
<08322>_,
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
They shall roar
<07580> (8799)
together
<03162>
like lions
<03715>_:
they shall yell
<05286> (8804)
as lions
<0738>_'
whelps
<01484>_.
{yell: or, shake themselves}
In their heat
<02527>
I will make
<07896> (8799)
their feasts
<04960>_,
and I will make them drunken
<07937> (8689)_,
that they may rejoice
<05937> (8799)_,
and sleep
<03462> (8804)
a perpetual
<05769>
sleep
<08142>_,
and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
I will bring them down
<03381> (8686)
like lambs
<03733>
to the slaughter
<02873> (8800)_,
like rams
<0352>
with he goats
<06260>_.
How is Sheshach
<08347>
taken
<03920> (8738)_!
and how is the praise
<08416>
of the whole earth
<0776>
surprised
<08610> (8735)_!
how is Babylon
<0894>
become an astonishment
<08047>
among the nations
<01471>_!
The sea
<03220>
is come up
<05927> (8804)
upon Babylon
<0894>_:
she is covered
<03680> (8738)
with the multitude
<01995>
of the waves
<01530>
thereof.
Her cities
<05892>
are a desolation
<08047>_,
a dry
<06723>
land
<0776>_,
and a wilderness
<06160>_,
a land
<0776>
wherein no man
<0376>
dwelleth
<03427> (8799)_,
neither doth [any] son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
pass
<05674> (8799)
thereby
<02004>_.
And I will punish
<06485> (8804)
Bel
<01078>
in Babylon
<0894>_,
and I will bring forth
<03318> (8689)
out of his mouth
<06310>
that which he hath swallowed up
<01105>_:
and the nations
<01471>
shall not flow together
<05102> (8799)
any more unto him: yea, the wall
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)_.
My people
<05971>_,
go ye out
<03318> (8798)
of the midst
<08432>
of her, and deliver
<04422> (8761)
ye every man
<0376>
his soul
<05315>
from the fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And lest your heart
<03824>
faint
<07401> (8735)_,
and ye fear
<03372> (8799)
for the rumour
<08052>
that shall be heard
<08085> (8737)
in the land
<0776>_;
a rumour
<08052>
shall both come
<0935> (8804)
[one] year
<08141>_,
and after
<0310>
that in [another] year
<08141>
[shall come] a rumour
<08052>_,
and violence
<02555>
in the land
<0776>_,
ruler
<04910> (8802)
against ruler
<04910> (8802)_.
{lest: or, let not}
Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)
upon the graven images
<06456>
of Babylon
<0894>_:
and her whole land
<0776>
shall be confounded
<0954> (8799)_,
and all her slain
<02491>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
in the midst
<08432>
of her. {do...: Heb. visit upon}
Then the heaven
<08064>
and the earth
<0776>_,
and all that [is] therein, shall sing
<07442> (8765)
for Babylon
<0894>_:
for the spoilers
<07703> (8802)
shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto her from the north
<06828>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
As
<01571>
Babylon
<0894>
[hath caused] the slain
<02491>
of Israel
<03478>
to fall
<05307> (8800)_,
so at Babylon
<0894>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)
the slain
<02491>
of all the earth
<0776>_.
{As...: or, Both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain of Israel, and with Babylon, etc} {the earth: or, the country}
Ye that have escaped
<06405>
the sword
<02719>_,
go away
<01980> (8798)_,
stand not still
<05975> (8799)_:
remember
<02142> (8798)
the LORD
<03068>
afar off
<07350>_,
and let Jerusalem
<03389>
come
<05927> (8799)
into your mind
<03824>_.
We are confounded
<0954> (8804)_,
because we have heard
<08085> (8804)
reproach
<02781>_:
shame
<03639>
hath covered
<03680> (8765)
our faces
<06440>_:
for strangers
<02114> (8801)
are come
<0935> (8804)
into the sanctuaries
<04720>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_.
Wherefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)
upon her graven images
<06456>_:
and through all her land
<0776>
the wounded
<02491>
shall groan
<0602> (8799)_.
Though Babylon
<0894>
should mount up
<05927> (8799)
to heaven
<08064>_,
and though she should fortify
<01219> (8762)
the height
<04791>
of her strength
<05797>_,
[yet]
<0227>
from me shall spoilers
<07703> (8802)
come
<0935> (8799)
unto her, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
A sound
<06963>
of a cry
<02201>
[cometh] from Babylon
<0894>_,
and great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>
from the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
Because the LORD
<03068>
hath spoiled
<07703> (8802)
Babylon
<0894>_,
and destroyed
<06> (8765)
out of her the great
<01419>
voice
<06963>_;
when her waves
<01530>
do roar
<01993> (8804)
like great
<07227>
waters
<04325>_,
a noise
<07588>
of their voice
<06963>
is uttered
<05414> (8738)_:
Because the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon her, [even] upon Babylon
<0894>_,
and her mighty men
<01368>
are taken
<03920> (8738)_,
every one of their bows
<07198>
is broken
<02865> (8765)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0410>
of recompences
<01578>
shall surely
<07999> (8763)
requite
<07999> (8762)_.
And I will make drunk
<07937> (8689)
her princes
<08269>_,
and her wise
<02450>
[men], her captains
<06346>_,
and her rulers
<05461>_,
and her mighty men
<01368>_:
and they shall sleep
<03462> (8804)
a perpetual
<05769>
sleep
<08142>_,
and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the King
<04428>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
The broad
<07342>
walls
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall be utterly
<06209> (8771)
broken
<06209> (8698)_,
and her high
<01364>
gates
<08179>
shall be burned
<03341> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_;
and the people
<05971>
shall labour
<03021> (8799)
in vain
<07385>_,
and the folk
<03816>
in
<01767>
the fire
<0784>_,
and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.
{The broad...: or, The walls of broad Babylon} {broken: or, made naked}
