Prophecy against Babylon

1

The wordh1697 whichh834 the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 concerningh413  aBabylonh894, the landh776 of the Chaldeansh3778, throughh3027 Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030:

2

aDeclareh5046 and proclaimh8085 among the nationsh1471. Proclaimh8085 it and  blifth5375 up a standardh5251. Do not concealh3582 it but sayh559, ` cBabylonh894 has been capturedh3920,  dBelh1078 has beenh954 puth954 to shameh954,  1Mardukh4781 has beenh2865  2shatteredh2865; Her  eimagesh6091 have beenh954 puth954 to shameh954, her idolsh1544 have beenh2865 shatteredh2865.'

3

"For a nationh1471 has comeh5927 up againsth5921 her out of the  anorthh6828; it will makeh7896 her landh776  ban objecth8047 of horrorh8047, and there will be  cnoh3808 inhabitanth3427 in it. Bothh4480 manh120 and beasth929 have wanderedh5110 off, they have goneh1980 away!

4

"In thoseh1992a daysh3117 and at that timeh6256," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 will comeh935, both they and the sonsh1121 of Judahh3063  aas wellh3164a; they will goh1980 along  bweepingh1058 as they goh1980, and it will be  cthe LORDh3068 their Godh430 they will seekh1245.

5

"They will  aaskh7592 for the wayh1870 to Zionh6726, turning their facesh6440  1in its directionh2008;  2they  3will comeh935 that they may joinh3867a themselves to the LORDh3068 in an  beverlastingh5769 covenanth1285 that will not be forgottenh7911.

6

"My peopleh5971a have becomeh1961  alosth6 sheeph6629;  bTheir shepherdsh7462a have ledh8582 them astrayh8582. They have made them turnh7725 asideh7725 on the  cmountainsh2022; They have goneh1980 along from mountainh2022 to hillh1389 And have forgottenh7911 their  drestingh7258 placeh7258.

7

"Allh3605 who cameh4672 upon them have devouredh398 them; And their adversariesh6862c have saidh559, ` aWe are not guiltyh816, Inasmuchh8478h834 as they have sinnedh2398 against the LORDh3068 who is the  bhabitationh5116a of righteousnessh6664, Even the LORDh3068, the  chopeh4723a of their fathersh1.'

8

"Wanderh5110 away from the  amidsth8432 of Babylonh894 And  1goh3318 forthh3318 from the landh776 of the Chaldeansh3778; Be also like maleh6260 goatsh6260  2at the headh6440 of the flockh6629.

9

"For beholdh2009, I am going to  aarouseh5782 and bringh5927 up againsth5921 Babylonh894 A hordeh6951 of greath1419 nationsh1471 from the landh776 of the northh6828, And they will drawh6186a up their battleh6186a linesh6186a against her; From thereh8033 she will be takenh3920 captiveh3920. Their arrowsh2671 will be like  1an experth7919a warriorh1368 Who does not returnh7725 empty-handedh7387.

10

1 aChaldeah3778 will becomeh1961 plunderh7998; Allh3605 who plunderh7997b her will haveh7646 enoughh7646," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

11

"Becauseh3588 you are gladh8055, becauseh3588 you are jubilanth5937, O you who  apillageh8154 My heritageh5159, Becauseh3588 you skiph6335a abouth6335a  1like a threshingh1758  bheiferh5697 And neighh6670a like  2stallionsh47,

12

Your  amotherh517  1will be greatlyh3966 ashamedh954, She who gaveh3205 you birthh3205  1will be humiliatedh2659. Beholdh2009, she will be the leasth319 of the nationsh1471, A  bwildernessh4057b, a parchedh6723 landh6723 and a deserth6160.

13

"Becauseh4480 of the indignationh7110a of the LORDh3068 she will  anot be inhabitedh3427, But she will be  bcompletelyh3605 desolateh8077; Everyoneh3605 who passesh5674a by Babylonh894  cwill be horrifiedh8074 And will hissh8319 becauseh5921 of allh3605 her woundsh4347.

14

"Drawh6186a up your battleh6186a linesh6186a againsth5921 Babylonh894 on everyh5439 sideh5439, Allh3605 you who  1bendh1869 the bowh7198; Shooth3034 at her, do not be sparingh2550 with your arrowsh2671, For she has  asinnedh2398 against the LORDh3068.

15

"Raiseh7321 your battleh7321 cryh7321 againsth5921 her on everyh5439 sideh5439! She has  agivenh5414  1herselfh3027 up, her pillarsh806b have fallenh5307, Her  bwallsh2346 have been tornh2040 downh2040. For thish1931 is the  cvengeanceh5360 of the LORDh3068: Takeh5358 vengeanceh5358 on her;  dAs she has doneh6213a to others, so doh6213a to her.

16

"Cuth3772 offh3772 the  asowerh2232 from Babylonh894 And the one who wieldsh8610 the sickleh4038 at the timeh6256 of harvesth7105a; From beforeh6440  1the  bswordh2719 of the oppressorh3238  cThey will eachh376 turnh6437 backh6437 to his own peopleh5971a And they will eachh376 fleeh5127 to his own landh776.

17

"Israelh3478 is a  ascatteredh6340  1flockh7716, the  blionsh738 have drivenh5080 them awayh5080. The firsth7223 oneh7223 who devouredh398 him was the  ckingh4428 of Assyriah804b, and thish2088 lasth314 oneh314 who has brokenh6105c his bonesh6105c is  dNebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894.

18

"Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478: `Beholdh2009, I am going to punishh6485 the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 and his landh776, justh3512c as I  apunishedh6485 the kingh4428 of Assyriah804b.

19

`And I will  abringh7725 Israelh3478 backh7725 to his pastureh5116a and he will grazeh7462a on Carmelh3760 and Bashanh1316, and his  1desireh5315 will be satisfiedh7646 in the  bhillh2022 countryh2022 of Ephraimh669 and Gileadh1568.

20

`In thoseh1992a daysh3117 and at that timeh6256,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, `searchh1245 will be madeh1245 for the iniquityh5771 of Israelh3478, but  athereh369 will be noneh369; and for the sinsh2403b of Judahh3063, but they will not be foundh4672; for I will pardonh5545 those  bwhomh834 I leaveh7604 as a remnanth7604.'

21

"Againsth5921 the landh776 of  1Merathaimh4850, goh5927 up againsth5921 it, And againsth413 the inhabitantsh3427 of  2 aPekodh6489. Slayh2717c and  3utterlyh2763a destroyh2763a them," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "And doh6213a according to allh3605 that I have commandedh6680 you.

22

"The  anoiseh6963 of battleh4421 is in the landh776, And greath1419 destructionh7667.

23

"Howh349 the  ahammerh6360 of the wholeh3605 earthh776 Has been cuth1438 offh1438 and brokenh7665! Howh349 Babylonh894 has becomeh1961 An objecth8047 of horrorh8047 among the nationsh1471!

24

"I  aseth3369 a snareh3369 for you and you were alsoh1571  bcaughth3920, O Babylonh894, While you yourselfh855b were not awareh3045; You have been foundh4672 and alsoh1571 seizedh8610 Becauseh3588 you have engagedh1624 in  cconflicth1624 with the LORDh3068."

25

The LORDh3068 has openedh6605a His armoryh214 And has broughth3318 forthh3318 the  aweaponsh3627 of His indignationh2195, For it is a  bworkh4399 of the Lordh136  1GODh3068 of hostsh6635 In the landh776 of the Chaldeansh3778.

26

Comeh935 to her from the  1farthesth7093 borderh7093;  aOpenh6605a up her barnsh3965, Pileh5549 her up likeh3644 heapsh6194 And  2 butterlyh2763a destroyh2763a her, Let nothingh408 be lefth7611 to her.

27

 aPuth2717c allh3605 her youngh6499 bullsh6499 to the swordh2717c; Let them  bgoh3381 downh3381 to the slaughterh2874! Woeh1945 be upon them, for their  cdayh3117 has comeh935, The timeh6256 of their punishmenth6486.

28

There is a  asoundh6963 of fugitivesh5127 and refugeesh6412b from the landh776 of Babylonh894, To declareh5046 in Zionh6726 the  bvengeanceh5360 of the LORDh3068 our Godh430, Vengeanceh5360 for His  ctempleh1964.

29

"Summonh8085  1manyh7227a againsth413 Babylonh894, Allh3605 those who  2bendh1869 the bowh7198: Encamph2583 againsth5921 her on everyh5439 sideh5439, Let there be noh408 escapeh6413 3. Repayh7999a her according to her workh6467;  aAccording to allh3605 that she has doneh6213a, so doh6213a to her; For she has becomeh2102  barroganth2102 againsth413 the LORDh3068, Againsth413 the Holyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478.

30

"Thereforeh3651 her  ayoungh970 menh970 will fallh5307 in her streetsh7339, And allh3605 her menh376 of warh4421 will be  1 bsilencedh1826a in that dayh3117," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

31

"Beholdh2009,  aI am againsth413 you, O  1arroganth2087 one," Declaresh5002 the Lordh136  2GODh3068 of hostsh6635, "For your dayh3117 has comeh935, The timeh6256  3when I will punishh6485 you.

32

"The  1 aarroganth2087 one will stumbleh3782 and fallh5307 With noh369 oneh369 to raiseh6965 him up; And I will  bseth3341 fireh784 to his citiesh5892b And it will devourh398 allh3605 his environsh5439."

33

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "The sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 are oppressedh6231, And the sonsh1121 of Judahh3063 as wellh3164a; And  aallh3605 who tookh7617 them captiveh7617 have heldh2388 them fasth2388, They have refusedh3985 to leth7971 them goh7971.

34

"Their  aRedeemerh1350 is strongh2389,  bthe LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 is His nameh8034; He will vigorouslyh7378  cpleadh7378 their caseh7379 Soh4616 that He may  dbringh7280b resth7280b to  1the earthh776, But turmoilh7264 to the inhabitantsh3427 of Babylonh894.

35

"A  aswordh2719 againsth5921 the Chaldeansh3778," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "And againsth413 the inhabitantsh3427 of Babylonh894 And againsth413 her  bofficialsh8269 and her  cwiseh2450 menh2450!

36

"A swordh2719 againsth413 the  aoracleh907 priestsh907, and they will becomeh2973 foolsh2973! A swordh2719 againsth413 her  bmightyh1368 menh1368, and they will be  1 cshatteredh2865!

37

"A swordh2719 againsth413  1their  ahorsesh5483b and againsth413  1their chariotsh7393 And againsth413 allh3605 the  2 bforeignersh6154a whoh834 are in the midsth8432 of her, And they will becomeh1961  cwomenh802! A swordh2719 againsth413 her treasuresh214, and they will be plunderedh962!

38

"A  1 adroughth2721a on her watersh4325, and they will be driedh3001 up! For it is a landh776 of  bidolsh6456, And they are madh1984b over fearsomeh367 idols.

39

"Thereforeh3651 the  adeserth6716b creaturesh6716b will liveh3427 there alongh854 with the jackalsh338; The ostrichesh3284 also will liveh3427 in it, And it will  bneverh3808 againh5750 be inhabitedh3427 Or dwelth7931 in from generationh1755 to generationh1755.

40

"As when Godh430 overthrewh4114  aSodomh5467 And Gomorrahh6017 with its neighborsh7934," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "Noh3808 manh376 will liveh3427 thereh8033, Norh3808 will any sonh1121 of manh120 resideh1481a in it.

41

"Beholdh2009, a peopleh5971a is comingh935  afrom the northh6828, And a greath1419 nationh1471 and manyh7227a kingsh4428 Will be arousedh5782 from the remoteh3411 partsh3411 of the earthh776.

42

"They  aseizeh2388 their bowh7198 and javelinh3591; They are  bcruelh394 and haveh7355 noh3808 mercyh7355. Their  cvoiceh6963 roarsh1993 like the seah3220; And they rideh7392 on  dhorsesh5483b,  eMarshalledh6186a like a manh376 for the battleh4421 Againsth5921 you, O daughterh1323 of Babylonh894.

43

"The  akingh4428 of Babylonh894 has heardh8085 the reporth8088 about them, And his handsh3027 hangh7503 limph7503;  bDistressh6869a has grippedh2388 him, Agonyh2427 like a woman in childbirthh3205.

44

aBeholdh2009, one will comeh5927 up like a lionh743b from the  1thicketh1347b of the Jordanh3383 to  2a perenniallyh386 watered pastureh5116a; for in an instanth7280a I will make them runh7323 awayh4480 from it, and whoeverh4310 is  bchosenh977 I will appointh6485 overh413 it. For whoh4310 is  clikeh3644 Me, and whoh4310 will summonh3259 Me into court? And whoh4310 thenh2088 is the shepherdh7462a whoh834 can  dstandh5975 beforeh6440 Me?"

45

Thereforeh3651 hearh8085 the  aplanh6098 of the LORDh3068 whichh834 He has plannedh3289 againsth413 Babylonh894, and His purposesh4284 whichh834 He has purposedh2803 againsth413 the landh776 of the Chaldeansh3778:  bsurelyh518h3808 they will dragh5498 them offh5498, even the littleh6810 onesh6810 of the flockh6629; surelyh518h3808 He will makeh8074 their  1pastureh5116a desolateh8074 becauseh5921 of them.

46

At the  1shouth6963, "Babylonh894 has been seizedh8610!" the  aearthh776 is shakenh7493, and an  boutcryh2201 is heardh8085 among the nationsh1471.
