2. Declare[H5046] ye among the nations,[H1471] and publish,[H8085] and set up[H5375] a standard;[H5251] publish,[H8085] and conceal[H3582] not:[H408] say,[H559] Babylon[H894] is taken,[H3920] Bel[H1078] is confounded,[H3001] Merodach[H4781] is broken in pieces;[H2844] her idols[H6091] are confounded,[H3001] her images[H1544] are broken in pieces.[H2865]

3. For[H3588] out of the north[H4480] [H6828] there cometh up[H5927] a nation[H1471] against[H5921] her, which[H1931] shall make[H7896] [H853] her land[H776] desolate,[H8047] and none[H3808] shall[H1961] dwell[H3427] therein: they shall remove,[H5110] they shall depart,[H1980] both man[H4480] [H120] and beast.[H929]

4. In those[H1992] days,[H3117] and in that[H1931] time,[H6256] saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] shall come,[H935] they[H1992] and the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063] together,[H3162] going[H1980] and weeping:[H1058] they shall go,[H1980] and seek[H1245] the LORD[H3068] their God.[H430]

6. My people[H5971] hath been[H1961] lost[H6] sheep:[H6629] their shepherds[H7462] have caused them to go astray,[H8582] they have turned them away[H7725] on the mountains:[H2022] they have gone[H1980] from mountain[H4480] [H2022] to[H413] hill,[H1389] they have forgotten[H7911] their resting place.[H7258]

7. All[H3605] that found[H4672] them have devoured[H398] them: and their adversaries[H6862] said,[H559] We offend[H816] not,[H3808] because[H8478] [H834] they have sinned[H2398] against the LORD,[H3068] the habitation[H5116] of justice,[H6664] even the LORD,[H3068] the hope[H4723] of their fathers.[H1]

9. For,[H3588] lo,[H2009] I[H595] will raise[H5782] and cause to come up[H5927] against[H5921] Babylon[H894] an assembly[H6951] of great[H1419] nations[H1471] from the north[H6828] country:[H4480] [H776] and they shall set themselves in array[H6186] against her; from thence[H4480] [H8033] she shall be taken:[H3920] their arrows[H2671] shall be as of a mighty[H1368] expert[H7919] man; none[H3808] shall return[H7725] in vain.[H7387]

10. And Chaldea[H3778] shall be[H1961] a spoil:[H7997] all[H3605] that spoil[H7998] her shall be satisfied,[H7646] saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

11. Because[H3588] ye were glad,[H8055] because[H3588] ye rejoiced,[H5937] O ye destroyers[H8154] of mine heritage,[H5159] because[H3588] ye are grown fat[H6335] as the heifer[H5697] at grass,[H1877] and bellow[H6670] as bulls;[H47]

12. Your mother[H517] shall be sore[H3966] confounded;[H954] she that bore[H3205] you shall be ashamed:[H2659] behold,[H2009] the hindmost[H319] of the nations[H1471] shall be a wilderness,[H4057] a dry land,[H6723] and a desert.[H6160]

13. Because of the wrath[H4480] [H7110] of the LORD[H3068] it shall not[H3808] be inhabited,[H3427] but it shall be[H1961] wholly[H3605] desolate:[H8077] every one[H3605] that goeth[H5674] by[H5921] Babylon[H894] shall be astonished,[H8074] and hiss[H8319] at[H5921] all[H3605] her plagues.[H4347]

14. Put yourselves in array[H6186] against[H5921] Babylon[H894] round about:[H5439] all[H3605] ye that bend[H1869] the bow,[H7198] shoot[H3034] at[H413] her, spare[H2550] no[H408] arrows:[H2671] for[H3588] she hath sinned[H2398] against the LORD.[H3068]

15. Shout[H7321] against[H5921] her round about:[H5439] she hath given[H5414] her hand:[H3027] her foundations[H803] are fallen,[H5307] her walls[H2346] are thrown down:[H2040] for[H3588] it[H1931] is the vengeance[H5360] of the LORD:[H3068] take vengeance[H5358] upon her; as[H834] she hath done,[H6213] do[H6213] unto her.

16. Cut off[H3772] the sower[H2232] from Babylon,[H4480] [H894] and him that handleth[H8610] the sickle[H4038] in the time[H6256] of harvest:[H7105] for fear[H4480] [H6440] of the oppressing[H3238] sword[H2719] they shall turn[H6437] every one[H376] to[H413] his people,[H5971] and they shall flee[H5127] every one[H376] to his own land.[H776]

17. Israel[H3478] is a scattered[H6340] sheep;[H7716] the lions[H738] have driven him away:[H5080] first[H7223] the king[H4428] of Assyria[H804] hath devoured[H398] him; and last[H314] this[H2088] Nebuchadnezzar[H5019] king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] hath broken his bones.[H6105]

18. Therefore[H3651] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts,[H6635] the God[H430] of Israel;[H3478] Behold,[H2009] I will punish[H6485] [H413] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] and his land,[H776] as[H834] I have punished[H6485] [H413] the king[H4428] of Assyria.[H804]

19. And I will bring[H7725] [H853] Israel[H3478] again to[H413] his habitation,[H5116] and he shall feed[H7462] on Carmel[H3760] and Bashan,[H1316] and his soul[H5315] shall be satisfied[H7646] upon mount[H2022] Ephraim[H669] and Gilead.[H1568]

20. In those[H1992] days,[H3117] and in that[H1931] time,[H6256] saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] [H853] the iniquity[H5771] of Israel[H3478] shall be sought for,[H1245] and there shall be none;[H369] and the sins[H2403] of Judah,[H3063] and they shall not[H3808] be found:[H4672] for[H3588] I will pardon[H5545] them whom[H834] I reserve.[H7604]

21. Go up[H5927] against[H5921] the land[H776] of Merathaim,[H4850] even against[H5921] it, and against[H413] the inhabitants[H3427] of Pekod:[H6489] waste[H2717] and utterly destroy[H2763] after[H310] them, saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] and do[H6213] according to all[H3605] that[H834] I have commanded[H6680] thee.

22. A sound[H6963] of battle[H4421] is in the land,[H776] and of great[H1419] destruction.[H7667]

23. How[H349] is the hammer[H6360] of the whole[H3605] earth[H776] cut asunder[H1438] and broken![H7665] how[H349] is Babylon[H894] become[H1961] a desolation[H8047] among the nations![H1471]

24. I have laid a snare[H3369] for thee, and thou art also[H1571] taken,[H3920] O Babylon,[H894] and thou[H859] wast not[H3808] aware:[H3045] thou art found,[H4672] and also[H1571] caught,[H8610] because[H3588] thou hast striven[H1624] against the LORD.[H3068]

25. The LORD[H3068] hath opened[H6605] [H853] his armory,[H214] and hath brought forth[H3318] [H853] the weapons[H3627] of his indignation:[H2195] for[H3588] this[H1931] is the work[H4399] of the Lord[H136] GOD[H3069] of hosts[H6635] in the land[H776] of the Chaldeans.[H3778]

26. Come[H935] against her from the utmost border,[H4480] [H7093] open[H6605] her storehouses:[H3965] cast her up[H5549] as heaps,[H6194] and destroy[H2763] her utterly: let nothing[H408] of her be[H1961] left.[H7611]

27. Slay[H2717] all[H3605] her bullocks;[H6499] let them go down[H3381] to the slaughter:[H2874] woe[H1945] unto[H5921] them! for[H3588] their day[H3117] is come,[H935] the time[H6256] of their visitation.[H6486]

28. The voice[H6963] of them that flee[H5127] and escape[H6412] out of the land[H4480] [H776] of Babylon,[H894] to declare[H5046] in Zion[H6726] [H853] the vengeance[H5360] of the LORD[H3068] our God,[H430] the vengeance[H5360] of his temple.[H1964]

29. Call together[H8085] the archers[H7228] against[H413] Babylon:[H894] all[H3605] ye that bend[H1869] the bow,[H7198] camp[H2583] against[H5921] it round about;[H5439] let[H1961] none[H408] thereof escape:[H6413] recompense[H7999] her according to her work;[H6467] according to all[H3605] that[H834] she hath done,[H6213] do[H6213] unto her: for[H3588] she hath been proud[H2102] against[H413] the LORD,[H3068] against[H413] the Holy One[H6918] of Israel.[H3478]

30. Therefore[H3651] shall her young men[H970] fall[H5307] in the streets,[H7339] and all[H3605] her men[H376] of war[H4421] shall be cut off[H1826] in that[H1931] day,[H3117] saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

31. Behold,[H2009] I am against[H413] thee, O thou most proud,[H2087] saith[H5002] the Lord[H136] GOD[H3069] of hosts:[H6635] for[H3588] thy day[H3117] is come,[H935] the time[H6256] that I will visit[H6485] thee.

32. And the most proud[H2087] shall stumble[H3782] and fall,[H5307] and none[H369] shall raise him up:[H6965] and I will kindle[H3341] a fire[H784] in his cities,[H5892] and it shall devour[H398] all[H3605] round about[H5439] him.

33. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] The children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] and the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063] were oppressed[H6231] together:[H3162] and all[H3605] that took them captives[H7617] held them fast;[H2388] they refused[H3985] to let them go.[H7971]

34. Their Redeemer[H1350] is strong;[H2389] the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635] is his name:[H8034] he shall throughly plead[H7378] [H7378] [H853] their cause,[H7379] that[H4616] he may give rest[H7280] [H853] to the land,[H776] and disquiet[H7264] the inhabitants[H3427] of Babylon.[H894]

35. A sword[H2719] is upon[H5921] the Chaldeans,[H3778] saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] and upon[H413] the inhabitants[H3427] of Babylon,[H894] and upon[H413] her princes,[H8269] and upon[H413] her wise[H2450] men.

36. A sword[H2719] is upon[H413] the liars;[H907] and they shall dote:[H2973] a sword[H2719] is upon[H413] her mighty men;[H1368] and they shall be dismayed.[H2865]

37. A sword[H2719] is upon[H413] their horses,[H5483] and upon[H413] their chariots,[H7393] and upon[H413] all[H3605] the mingled people[H6154] that[H834] are in the midst[H8432] of her; and they shall become[H1961] as women:[H802] a sword[H2719] is upon[H413] her treasures;[H214] and they shall be robbed.[H962]

38. A drought[H2721] is upon[H413] her waters;[H4325] and they shall be dried up:[H3001] for[H3588] it is the land[H776] of graven images,[H6456] and they[H1931] are mad[H1984] upon their idols.[H367]

39. Therefore[H3651] the wild beasts of the desert[H6728] with[H854] the wild beasts of the islands[H338] shall dwell[H3427] there, and the owls[H1323] [H3284] shall dwell[H3427] therein: and it shall be no[H3808] more[H5750] inhabited[H3427] forever;[H5331] neither[H3808] shall it be dwelt in[H7931] from[H5704] generation[H1755] to generation.[H1755]

40. As God[H430] overthrew[H4114] [H853] Sodom[H5467] and Gomorrah[H6017] and the neighbor[H7934] cities thereof, saith[H5002] the LORD;[H3068] so shall no[H3808] man[H376] abide[H3427] there,[H8033] neither[H3808] shall any son[H1121] of man[H120] dwell[H1481] therein.

41. Behold,[H2009] a people[H5971] shall come[H935] from the north,[H4480] [H6828] and a great[H1419] nation,[H1471] and many[H7227] kings[H4428] shall be raised up[H5782] from the coasts[H4480] [H3411] of the earth.[H776]

42. They shall hold[H2388] the bow[H7198] and the lance:[H3591] they[H1992] are cruel,[H394] and will not[H3808] show mercy:[H7355] their voice[H6963] shall roar[H1993] like the sea,[H3220] and they shall ride[H7392] upon[H5921] horses,[H5483] every one put in array,[H6186] like a man[H376] to the battle,[H4421] against[H5921] thee, O daughter[H1323] of Babylon.[H894]

43. The king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] hath heard[H8085] [H853] the report[H8088] of them, and his hands[H3027] waxed feeble:[H7503] anguish[H6869] took hold[H2388] of him, and pangs[H2427] as of a woman in travail.[H3205]

44. Behold,[H2009] he shall come up[H5927] like a lion[H738] from the swelling[H4480] [H1347] of Jordan[H3383] unto[H413] the habitation[H5116] of the strong:[H386] but[H3588] I will make them suddenly[H7280] run away[H7323] from[H4480] [H5921] her: and who[H4310] is a chosen[H977] man, that I may appoint[H6485] over[H413] her? for[H3588] who[H4310] is like me?[H3644] and who[H4310] will appoint me the time?[H3259] and who[H4310] is that[H2088] shepherd[H7462] that[H834] will stand[H5975] before[H6440] me?

45. Therefore[H3651] hear[H8085] ye the counsel[H6098] of the LORD,[H3068] that[H834] he hath taken[H3289] against[H413] Babylon;[H894] and his purposes,[H4284] that[H834] he hath purposed[H2803] against[H413] the land[H776] of the Chaldeans:[H3778] Surely[H518] [H3808] the least[H6810] of the flock[H6629] shall draw them out:[H5498] surely[H518] [H3808] he shall make their habitation[H5116] desolate[H8074] with[H5921] them.

46. At the noise[H4480] [H6963] of the taking[H8610] of Babylon[H894] the earth[H776] is moved,[H7493] and the cry[H2201] is heard[H8085] among the nations.[H1471]
