1

Thus saith [0559] the LORD; [3068] Behold, I will raise up [5782] against Babylon, [0894] and against them that dwell [3427] in the midst [3820] of them that rise up [6965] against me, a destroying [7843] wind; [7307]

2

And will send [7971] unto Babylon [0894] fanners, [2114] that shall fan [2219] her, and shall empty [1238] her land: [0776] for in the day [3117] of trouble [7451] they shall be against her round about. [5439]

3

Against [him that] bendeth [1869] let the archer [1869] bend [1869] his bow, [7198] and against [him that] lifteth himself up [5927] in his brigandine: [5630] and spare [2550] ye not her young men; [0970] destroy ye utterly [2763] all her host. [6635]

4

Thus the slain [2491] shall fall [5307] in the land [0776] of the Chaldeans, [3778] and [they that are] thrust through [1856] in her streets. [2351]

5

For Israel [3478] [hath] not [been] forsaken, [0488] nor Judah [3063] of his God, [0430] of the LORD [3068] of hosts; [6635] though their land [0776] was filled [4390] with sin [0817] against the Holy One [6918] of Israel. [3478]

6

Flee [5127] out of the midst [8432] of Babylon, [0894] and deliver [4422] every man [0376] his soul: [5315] be not cut off [1826] in her iniquity; [5771] for this [is] the time [6256] of the LORD'S [3068] vengeance; [5360] he will render [7999] unto her a recompence. [1576]

7

Babylon [0894] [hath been] a golden [2091] cup [3563] in the LORD'S [3068] hand, [3027] that made all the earth [0776] drunken: [7937] the nations [1471] have drunken [8354] of her wine; [3196] therefore the nations [1471] are mad. [1984]

8

Babylon [0894] is suddenly [6597] fallen [5307] and destroyed: [7665] howl [3213] for her; take [3947] balm [6875] for her pain, [4341] if so be she may be healed. [7495]

9

We would have healed [7495] Babylon, [0894] but she is not healed: [7495] forsake [5800] her, and let us go [3212] every one [0376] into his own country: [0776] for her judgment [4941] reacheth [5060] unto heaven, [8064] and is lifted up [5375] [even] to the skies. [7834]

10

The LORD [3068] hath brought forth [3318] our righteousness: [6666] come, [0935] and let us declare [5608] in Zion [6726] the work [4639] of the LORD [3068] our God. [0430]

11

Make bright [1305] the arrows; [2671] gather [4390] the shields: [7982] the LORD [3068] hath raised up [5782] the spirit [7307] of the kings [4428] of the Medes: [4074] for his device [4209] [is] against Babylon, [0894] to destroy [7843] it; because it [is] the vengeance [5360] of the LORD, [3068] the vengeance [5360] of his temple. [1964]

12

Set up [5375] the standard [5251] upon the walls [2346] of Babylon, [0894] make the watch [4929] strong, [2388] set up [6965] the watchmen, [8104] prepare [3559] the ambushes: [0693] for the LORD [3068] hath both devised [2161] and done [6213] that which he spake [1696] against the inhabitants [3427] of Babylon. [0894]

13

O thou that dwellest [7931] upon many [7227] waters, [4325] abundant [7227] in treasures, [0214] thine end [7093] is come, [0935] [and] the measure [0520] of thy covetousness. [1215]

14

The LORD [3068] of hosts [6635] hath sworn [7650] by himself, [5315] [saying], Surely I will fill [4390] thee with men, [0120] as with caterpillers; [3218] and they shall lift up [6030] a shout [1959] against thee.

15

He hath made [6213] the earth [0776] by his power, [3581] he hath established [3559] the world [8398] by his wisdom, [2451] and hath stretched out [5186] the heaven [8064] by his understanding. [8394]

16

When he uttereth [5414] [his] voice, [6963] [there is] a multitude [1995] of waters [4325] in the heavens; [8064] and he causeth the vapours [5387] to ascend [5927] from the ends [7097] of the earth: [0776] he maketh [6213] lightnings [1300] with rain, [4306] and bringeth forth [3318] the wind [7307] out of his treasures. [0214]

17

Every man [0120] is brutish [1197] by [his] knowledge; [1847] every founder [6884] is confounded [3001] by the graven image: [6459] for his molten image [5262] [is] falsehood, [8267] and [there is] no breath [7307] in them.

18

They [are] vanity, [1892] the work [4639] of errors: [8595] in the time [6256] of their visitation [6486] they shall perish. [0006]

19

The portion [2506] of Jacob [3290] [is] not like them; for he [is] the former [3335] of all things: and [Israel is] the rod [7626] of his inheritance: [5159] the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635] [is] his name. [8034]

20

Thou [art] my battle axe [4661] [and] weapons [3627] of war: [4421] for with thee will I break in pieces [5310] the nations, [1471] and with thee will I destroy [7843] kingdoms; [4467]

21

And with thee will I break in pieces [5310] the horse [5483] and his rider; [7392] and with thee will I break in pieces [5310] the chariot [7393] and his rider; [7392]

22

With thee also will I break in pieces [5310] man [0376] and woman; [0802] and with thee will I break in pieces [5310] old [2205] and young; [5288] and with thee will I break in pieces [5310] the young man [0970] and the maid; [1330]

23

I will also break in pieces [5310] with thee the shepherd [7462] and his flock; [5739] and with thee will I break in pieces [5310] the husbandman [0406] and his yoke [6776] of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces [5310] captains [6346] and rulers. [5461]

24

And I will render [7999] unto Babylon [0894] and to all the inhabitants [3427] of Chaldea [3778] all their evil [7451] that they have done [6213] in Zion [6726] in your sight, [5869] saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

25

Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying [4889] mountain, [2022] saith [5002] the LORD, [3068] which destroyest [7843] all the earth: [0776] and I will stretch out [5186] mine hand [3027] upon thee, and roll thee down [1556] from the rocks, [5553] and will make [5414] thee a burnt [8316] mountain. [2022]

26

And they shall not take [3947] of thee a stone [0068] for a corner, [6438] nor a stone [0068] for foundations; [4146] but thou shalt be desolate [8077] for ever, [5769] saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

27

Set ye up [5375] a standard [5251] in the land, [0776] blow [8628] the trumpet [7782] among the nations, [1471] prepare [6942] the nations [1471] against her, call together [8085] against her the kingdoms [4467] of Ararat, [0780] Minni, [4508] and Ashchenaz; [0813] appoint [6485] a captain [2951] against her; cause the horses [5483] to come up [5927] as the rough [5569] caterpillers. [3218]

28

Prepare [6942] against her the nations [1471] with the kings [4428] of the Medes, [4074] the captains [6346] thereof, and all the rulers [5461] thereof, and all the land [0776] of his dominion. [4475]

29

And the land [0776] shall tremble [7493] and sorrow: [2342] for every purpose [4284] of the LORD [3068] shall be performed [6965] against Babylon, [0894] to make [7760] the land [0776] of Babylon [0894] a desolation [8047] without an inhabitant. [3427]

30

The mighty men [1368] of Babylon [0894] have forborn [2308] to fight, [3898] they have remained [3427] in [their] holds: [4679] their might [1369] hath failed; [5405] they became as women: [0802] they have burned [3341] her dwellingplaces; [4908] her bars [1280] are broken. [7665]

31

One post [7323] shall run [7323] to meet [7125] another, [7323] and one messenger [5046] to meet [7125] another, [5046] to shew [5046] the king [4428] of Babylon [0894] that his city [5892] is taken [3920] at [one] end, [7097]

32

And that the passages [4569] are stopped, [8610] and the reeds [0098] they have burned [8313] with fire, [0784] and the men [0582] of war [4421] are affrighted. [0926]

33

For thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts, [6635] the God [0430] of Israel; [3478] The daughter [1323] of Babylon [0894] [is] like a threshingfloor, [1637] [it is] time [6256] to thresh [1869] her: yet a little [4592] while, and the time [6256] of her harvest [7105] shall come. [0935]

34

Nebuchadrezzar [5019] the king [4428] of Babylon [0894] hath devoured [0398] me, he hath crushed [2000] me, he hath made [3322] me an empty [7385] vessel, [3627] he hath swallowed me up [1104] like a dragon, [8577] he hath filled [4390] his belly [3770] with my delicates, [5730] he hath cast me out. [1740]

35

The violence [2555] done to me and to my flesh [7607] [be] upon Babylon, [0894] shall the inhabitant [3427] of Zion [6726] say; [0559] and my blood [1818] upon the inhabitants [3427] of Chaldea, [3778] shall Jerusalem [3389] say. [0559]

36

Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD; [3068] Behold, I will plead [7378] thy cause, [7379] and take vengeance [5358] for thee; [5360] and I will dry up [2717] her sea, [3220] and make her springs [4726] dry. [3001]

37

And Babylon [0894] shall become heaps, [1530] a dwellingplace [4583] for dragons, [8577] an astonishment, [8047] and an hissing, [8322] without an inhabitant. [3427]

38

They shall roar [7580] together [3162] like lions: [3715] they shall yell [5286] as lions' [0738] whelps. [1484]

39

In their heat [2527] I will make [7896] their feasts, [4960] and I will make them drunken, [7937] that they may rejoice, [5937] and sleep [3462] a perpetual [5769] sleep, [8142] and not wake, [6974] saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

40

I will bring them down [3381] like lambs [3733] to the slaughter, [2873] like rams [0352] with he goats. [6260]

41

How is Sheshach [8347] taken! [3920] and how is the praise [8416] of the whole earth [0776] surprised! [8610] how is Babylon [0894] become an astonishment [8047] among the nations! [1471]

42

The sea [3220] is come up [5927] upon Babylon: [0894] she is covered [3680] with the multitude [1995] of the waves [1530] thereof.

43

Her cities [5892] are a desolation, [8047] a dry [6723] land, [0776] and a wilderness, [6160] a land [0776] wherein [2004] no man [0376] dwelleth, [3427] neither doth [any] son [1121] of man [0120] pass [5674] thereby. [2004]

44

And I will punish [6485] Bel [1078] in Babylon, [0894] and I will bring forth [3318] out of his mouth [6310] that which he hath swallowed up: [1105] and the nations [1471] shall not flow together [5102] any more unto him: yea, the wall [2346] of Babylon [0894] shall fall. [5307]

45

My people, [5971] go ye out [3318] of the midst [8432] of her, and deliver [4422] ye every man [0376] his soul [5315] from the fierce [2740] anger [0639] of the LORD. [3068]

46

And lest your heart [3824] faint, [7401] and ye fear [3372] for the rumour [8052] that shall be heard [8085] in the land; [0776] a rumour [8052] shall both come [0935] [one] year, [8141] and after [0310] that in [another] year [8141] [shall come] a rumour, [8052] and violence [2555] in the land, [0776] ruler [4910] against ruler. [4910]

47

Therefore, behold, the days [3117] come, [0935] that I will do judgment [6485] upon the graven images [6456] of Babylon: [0894] and her whole land [0776] shall be confounded, [0954] and all her slain [2491] shall fall [5307] in the midst [8432] of her.

48

Then the heaven [8064] and the earth, [0776] and all that [is] therein, shall sing [7442] for Babylon: [0894] for the spoilers [7703] shall come [0935] unto her from the north, [6828] saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

49

As [1571] Babylon [0894] [hath caused] the slain [2491] of Israel [3478] to fall, [5307] so [1571] at Babylon [0894] shall fall [5307] the slain [2491] of all the earth. [0776]

50

Ye that have escaped [6405] the sword, [2719] go away, [1980] stand not still: [5975] remember [2142] the LORD [3068] afar off, [7350] and let Jerusalem [3389] come [5927] into your mind. [3824]

51

We are confounded, [0954] because we have heard [8085] reproach: [2781] shame [3639] hath covered [3680] our faces: [6440] for strangers [2114] are come [0935] into the sanctuaries [4720] of the LORD'S [3068] house. [1004]

52

Wherefore, behold, the days [3117] come, [0935] saith [5002] the LORD, [3068] that I will do judgment [6485] upon her graven images: [6456] and through all her land [0776] the wounded [2491] shall groan. [0602]

53

Though Babylon [0894] should mount up [5927] to heaven, [8064] and though she should fortify [1219] the height [4791] of her strength, [5797] [yet] [0227] from me shall spoilers [7703] come [0935] unto her, saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

54

A sound [6963] of a cry [2201] [cometh] from Babylon, [0894] and great [1419] destruction [7667] from the land [0776] of the Chaldeans: [3778]

55

Because the LORD [3068] hath spoiled [7703] Babylon, [0894] and destroyed [0006] out of her the great [1419] voice; [6963] when her waves [1530] do roar [1993] like great [7227] waters, [4325] a noise [7588] of their voice [6963] is uttered: [5414]

56

Because the spoiler [7703] is come [0935] upon her, [even] upon Babylon, [0894] and her mighty men [1368] are taken, [3920] every one of their bows [7198] is broken: [2865] for the LORD [3068] God [0410] of recompences [1578] shall surely [7999] requite. [7999]

57

And I will make drunk [7937] her princes, [8269] and her wise [2450] [men], her captains, [6346] and her rulers, [5461] and her mighty men: [1368] and they shall sleep [3462] a perpetual [5769] sleep, [8142] and not wake, [6974] saith [5002] the King, [4428] whose name [8034] [is] the LORD [3068] of hosts. [6635]

58

Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts; [6635] The broad [7342] walls [2346] of Babylon [0894] shall be utterly [6209] broken, [6209] and her high [1364] gates [8179] shall be burned [3341] with fire; [0784] and the people [5971] shall labour [3021] in [1767] vain, [7385] and the folk [3816] in [1767] the fire, [0784] and they shall be weary. [3286]

59

The word [1697] which Jeremiah [3414] the prophet [5030] commanded [6680] Seraiah [8304] the son [1121] of Neriah, [5374] the son [1121] of Maaseiah, [4271] when he went [3212] with Zedekiah [6667] the king [4428] of Judah [3063] into Babylon [0894] in the fourth [7243] year [8141] of his reign. [4427] And [this] Seraiah [8304] [was] a quiet [4496] prince. [8269]

60

So Jeremiah [3414] wrote [3789] in a [0259] book [5612] all the evil [7451] that should come [0935] upon Babylon, [0894] [even] all these words [1697] that are written [3789] against Babylon. [0894]

61

And Jeremiah [3414] said [0559] to Seraiah, [8304] When thou comest [0935] to Babylon, [0894] and shalt see, [7200] and shalt read [7121] all these words; [1697]

62

Then shalt thou say, [0559] O LORD, [3068] thou hast spoken [1696] against this place, [4725] to cut it off, [3772] that none shall remain [3427] in it, neither man [0120] nor beast, [0929] but that it shall be desolate [8077] for ever. [5769]

63

And it shall be, when thou hast made an end [3615] of reading [7121] this book, [5612] [that] thou shalt bind [7194] a stone [0068] to it, and cast [7993] it into the midst [8432] of Euphrates: [6578]

64

And thou shalt say, [0559] Thus shall Babylon [0894] sink, [8257] and shall not rise [6965] from [6440] the evil [7451] that I will bring [0935] upon her: and they shall be weary. [3286] Thus far [are] the words [1697] of Jeremiah. [3414]
