2. And will send[H7971] unto Babylon[H894] fanners,[H2114] that shall fan[H2219] her, and shall empty[H1238] [H853] her land:[H776] for[H3588] in the day[H3117] of trouble[H7451] they shall be[H1961] against[H5921] her round about.[H4480] [H5439]

3. Against[H413] him that bendeth[H1869] let the archer[H1869] bend[H1869] his bow,[H7198] and against[H413] him that lifteth himself up[H5927] in his brigandine:[H5630] and spare[H2550] ye not[H408] her young men;[H970] destroy ye utterly[H2763] all[H3605] her host.[H6635]

5. For[H3588] Israel[H3478] hath not[H3808] been forsaken,[H488] nor Judah[H3063] of his God,[H4480] [H430] of the LORD[H4480] [H3068] of hosts;[H6635] though[H3588] their land[H776] was filled[H4390] with sin[H817] against the Holy One[H4480] [H6918] of Israel.[H3478]

6. Flee[H5127] out of the midst[H4480] [H8432] of Babylon,[H894] and deliver[H4422] every man[H376] his soul:[H5315] be not[H408] cut off[H1826] in her iniquity;[H5771] for[H3588] this[H1931] is the time[H6256] of the LORD's[H3068] vengeance;[H5360] he will render[H7999] unto her a recompense.[H1576]

7. Babylon[H894] hath been a golden[H2091] cup[H3563] in the LORD's[H3068] hand,[H3027] that made all[H3605] the earth[H776] drunken:[H7937] the nations[H1471] have drunken[H8354] of her wine;[H4480] [H3196] therefore[H5921] [H3651] the nations[H1471] are mad.[H1984]

8. Babylon[H894] is suddenly[H6597] fallen[H5307] and destroyed:[H7665] howl[H3213] for[H5921] her; take[H3947] balm[H6875] for her pain,[H4341] if so be[H194] she may be healed.[H7495]

9. We would have healed[H7495] [H853] Babylon,[H894] but she is not[H3808] healed:[H7495] forsake[H5800] her, and let us go[H1980] every one[H376] into his own country:[H776] for[H3588] her judgment[H4941] reacheth[H5060] unto[H413] heaven,[H8064] and is lifted up[H5375] even to[H5704] the skies.[H7834]

10. The LORD[H3068] hath brought forth[H3318] [H853] our righteousness:[H6666] come,[H935] and let us declare[H5608] in Zion[H6726] [H853] the work[H4639] of the LORD[H3068] our God.[H430]

11. Make bright[H1305] the arrows;[H2671] gather[H4390] the shields:[H7982] the LORD[H3068] hath raised up[H5782] [H853] the spirit[H7307] of the kings[H4428] of the Medes:[H4074] for[H3588] his device[H4209] is against[H5921] Babylon,[H894] to destroy[H7843] it; because[H3588] it[H1931] is the vengeance[H5360] of the LORD,[H3068] the vengeance[H5360] of his temple.[H1964]

12. Set up[H5375] the standard[H5251] upon[H413] the walls[H2346] of Babylon,[H894] make the watch[H4929] strong,[H2388] set up[H6965] the watchmen,[H8104] prepare[H3559] the ambushes:[H693] for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath both[H1571] devised[H2161] and[H1571] done[H6213] [H853] that which[H834] he spoke[H1696] against[H413] the inhabitants[H3427] of Babylon.[H894]

13. O thou that dwellest[H7931] upon[H5921] many[H7227] waters,[H4325] abundant[H7227] in treasures,[H214] thine end[H7093] is come,[H935] and the measure[H520] of thy covetousness.[H1215]

14. The LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635] hath sworn[H7650] by himself,[H5315] saying, Surely[H3588] [H518] I will fill[H4390] thee with men,[H120] as with caterpillars;[H3218] and they shall lift up[H6030] a shout[H1959] against[H5921] thee.

15. He hath made[H6213] the earth[H776] by his power,[H3581] he hath established[H3559] the world[H8398] by his wisdom,[H2451] and hath stretched out[H5186] the heaven[H8064] by his understanding.[H8394]

16. When he uttereth[H5414] his voice,[H6963] there is a multitude[H1995] of waters[H4325] in the heavens;[H8064] and he causeth the vapors[H5387] to ascend[H5927] from the ends[H4480] [H7097] of the earth:[H776] he maketh[H6213] lightnings[H1300] with rain,[H4306] and bringeth forth[H3318] the wind[H7307] out of his treasures.[H4480] [H214]

17. Every[H3605] man[H120] is brutish[H1197] by his knowledge;[H4480] [H1847] every[H3605] founder[H6884] is confounded[H3001] by the graven image:[H4480] [H6459] for[H3588] his molten image[H5262] is falsehood,[H8267] and there is no[H3808] breath[H7307] in them.

18. They[H1992] are vanity,[H1892] the work[H4639] of errors:[H8595] in the time[H6256] of their visitation[H6486] they shall perish.[H6]

19. The portion[H2506] of Jacob[H3290] is not[H3808] like them;[H428] for[H3588] he[H1931] is the former[H3335] of all things:[H3605] and Israel is the rod[H7626] of his inheritance:[H5159] the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635] is his name.[H8034]

20. Thou[H859] art my battle axe[H4661] and weapons[H3627] of war:[H4421] for with thee will I break in pieces[H5310] the nations,[H1471] and with thee will I destroy[H7843] kingdoms;[H4467]

21. And with thee will I break in pieces[H5310] the horse[H5483] and his rider;[H7392] and with thee will I break in pieces[H5310] the chariot[H7393] and his rider;[H7392]

22. With thee also will I break in pieces[H5310] man[H376] and woman;[H802] and with thee will I break in pieces[H5310] old[H2205] and young;[H5288] and with thee will I break in pieces[H5310] the young man[H970] and the maid;[H1330]

23. I will also break in pieces[H5310] with thee the shepherd[H7462] and his flock;[H5739] and with thee will I break in pieces[H5310] the husbandman[H406] and his yoke of oxen;[H6776] and with thee will I break in pieces[H5310] captains[H6346] and rulers.[H5461]

24. And I will render[H7999] unto Babylon[H894] and to all[H3605] the inhabitants[H3427] of Chaldea[H3778] [H853] all[H3605] their evil[H7451] that[H834] they have done[H6213] in Zion[H6726] in your sight,[H5869] saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

25. Behold,[H2009] I am against[H413] thee, O destroying[H4889] mountain,[H2022] saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] which destroyest[H7843] [H853] all[H3605] the earth:[H776] and I will stretch out[H5186] [H853] mine hand[H3027] upon[H5921] thee, and roll thee down[H1556] from[H4480] the rocks,[H5553] and will make[H5414] thee a burnt[H8316] mountain.[H2022]

26. And they shall not[H3808] take[H3947] of[H4480] thee a stone[H68] for a corner,[H6438] nor a stone[H68] for foundations;[H4146] but[H3588] thou shalt be[H1961] desolate[H8077] forever,[H5769] saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

27. Set ye up[H5375] a standard[H5251] in the land,[H776] blow[H8628] the trumpet[H7782] among the nations,[H1471] prepare[H6942] the nations[H1471] against[H5921] her, call together[H8085] against[H5921] her the kingdoms[H4467] of Ararat,[H780] Minni,[H4508] and Ashchenaz;[H813] appoint[H6485] a captain[H2951] against[H5921] her; cause the horses[H5483] to come up[H5927] as the rough[H5569] caterpillars.[H3218]

28. Prepare[H6942] against[H5921] her the nations[H1471] with[H853] the kings[H4428] of the Medes,[H4074] [H853] the captains[H6346] thereof, and all[H3605] the rulers[H5461] thereof, and all[H3605] the land[H776] of his dominion.[H4475]

29. And the land[H776] shall tremble[H7493] and sorrow:[H2342] for[H3588] every purpose[H4284] of the LORD[H3068] shall be performed[H6965] against[H5921] Babylon,[H894] to make[H7760] [H853] the land[H776] of Babylon[H894] a desolation[H8047] without[H4480] [H369] an inhabitant.[H3427]

30. The mighty men[H1368] of Babylon[H894] have forborne[H2308] to fight,[H3898] they have remained[H3427] in their holds:[H4679] their might[H1369] hath failed;[H5405] they became[H1961] as women:[H802] they have burned[H3341] her dwelling places;[H4908] her bars[H1280] are broken.[H7665]

31. One post[H7323] shall run[H7323] to meet[H7125] another,[H7323] and one messenger[H5046] to meet[H7125] another,[H5046] to show[H5046] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] that[H3588] his city[H5892] is taken[H3920] at one end,[H4480] [H7097]

32. And that the passages[H4569] are stopped,[H8610] and the reeds[H98] they have burned[H8313] with fire,[H784] and the men[H376] of war[H4421] are frightened.[H926]

33. For[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts,[H6635] the God[H430] of Israel;[H3478] The daughter[H1323] of Babylon[H894] is like a threshingfloor,[H1637] it is time[H6256] to thresh[H1869] her: yet[H5750] a little while,[H4592] and the time[H6256] of her harvest[H7105] shall come.[H935]

34. Nebuchadnezzar[H5019] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] hath devoured[H398] me, he hath crushed[H2000] me, he hath made[H3322] me an empty[H7385] vessel,[H3627] he hath swallowed me up[H1104] like a dragon,[H8577] he hath filled[H4390] his belly[H3770] with my delicacies,[H4480] [H5730] he hath cast me out.[H1740]

35. The violence[H2555] done to me and to my flesh[H7607] be upon[H5921] Babylon,[H894] shall the inhabitant[H3427] of Zion[H6726] say;[H559] and my blood[H1818] upon[H413] the inhabitants[H3427] of Chaldea,[H3778] shall Jerusalem[H3389] say.[H559]

36. Therefore[H3651] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD;[H3068] Behold,[H2009] I will plead[H7378] [H853] thy cause,[H7379] and take vengeance for thee;[H5358] [H853] [H5360] and I will dry up[H2717] [H853] her sea,[H3220] and make[H853] her springs[H4726] dry.[H3001]

37. And Babylon[H894] shall become[H1961] heaps,[H1530] a dwelling place[H4583] for dragons,[H8577] an astonishment,[H8047] and a hissing,[H8322] without[H4480] [H369] an inhabitant.[H3427]

38. They shall roar[H7580] together[H3162] like lions:[H3715] they shall yell[H5286] as lions'[H738] whelps.[H1484]

39. In their heat[H2527] I will make[H7896] [H853] their feasts,[H4960] and I will make them drunken,[H7937] that[H4616] they may rejoice,[H5937] and sleep[H3462] a perpetual[H5769] sleep,[H8142] and not[H3808] wake,[H6974] saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

40. I will bring them down[H3381] like lambs[H3733] to the slaughter,[H2873] like rams[H352] with[H5973] he goats.[H6260]

41. How[H349] is Sheshach[H8347] taken![H3920] and how is the praise[H8416] of the whole[H3605] earth[H776] surprised![H8610] how[H349] is Babylon[H894] become[H1961] an astonishment[H8047] among the nations![H1471]

42. The sea[H3220] is come up[H5927] upon[H5921] Babylon:[H894] she is covered[H3680] with the multitude[H1995] of the waves[H1530] thereof.

43. Her cities[H5892] are[H1961] a desolation,[H8047] a dry[H6723] land,[H776] and a wilderness,[H6160] a land[H776] wherein[H2004] no[H3605] [H3808] man[H376] dwelleth,[H3427] neither[H3808] doth any son[H1121] of man[H120] pass[H5674] thereby.[H2004]

44. And I will punish[H6485] [H5921] Bel[H1078] in Babylon,[H894] and I will bring forth[H3318] out of his mouth[H4480] [H6310] [H853] that which he hath swallowed up:[H1105] and the nations[H1471] shall not[H3808] flow together[H5102] any more[H5750] unto[H413] him: yea,[H1571] the wall[H2346] of Babylon[H894] shall fall.[H5307]

45. My people,[H5971] go[H3318] ye out of the midst[H4480] [H8432] of her, and deliver[H4422] ye every man[H376] [H853] his soul[H5315] from the fierce[H4480] [H2740] anger[H639] of the LORD.[H3068]

46. And lest[H6435] your heart[H3824] faint,[H7401] and ye fear[H3372] for the rumor[H8052] that shall be heard[H8085] in the land;[H776] a rumor[H8052] shall both come[H935] one year,[H8141] and after[H310] that in another year[H8141] shall come a rumor,[H8052] and violence[H2555] in the land,[H776] ruler[H4910] against[H5921] ruler.[H4910]

47. Therefore,[H3651] behold,[H2009] the days[H3117] come,[H935] that I will do judgment[H6485] upon[H5921] the graven images[H6456] of Babylon:[H894] and her whole[H3605] land[H776] shall be confounded,[H954] and all[H3605] her slain[H2491] shall fall[H5307] in the midst[H8432] of her.

48. Then the heaven[H8064] and the earth,[H776] and all[H3605] that[H834] is therein, shall sing[H7442] for[H5921] Babylon:[H894] for[H3588] the spoilers[H7703] shall come[H935] unto her from the north,[H4480] [H6828] saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

49. As[H1571] Babylon[H894] hath caused the slain[H2491] of Israel[H3478] to fall,[H5307] so[H1571] at Babylon[H894] shall fall[H5307] the slain[H2491] of all[H3605] the earth.[H776]

50. Ye that have escaped[H6412] the sword,[H4480] [H2719] go away,[H1980] stand not still:[H408] [H5975] remember[H2142] [H853] the LORD[H3068] afar off,[H7350] and let Jerusalem[H3389] come[H5927] into[H5921] your mind.[H3824]

51. We are confounded,[H954] because[H3588] we have heard[H8085] reproach:[H2781] shame[H3639] hath covered[H3680] our faces:[H6440] for[H3588] strangers[H2114] are come[H935] into[H5921] the sanctuaries[H4720] of the LORD's[H3068] house.[H1004]

52. Wherefore,[H3651] behold,[H2009] the days[H3117] come,[H935] saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] that I will do judgment[H6485] upon[H5921] her graven images:[H6456] and through all[H3605] her land[H776] the wounded[H2491] shall groan.[H602]

53. Though[H3588] Babylon[H894] should mount up[H5927] to heaven,[H8064] and though[H3588] she should fortify[H1219] the height[H4791] of her strength,[H5797] yet from[H4480] [H854] me shall spoilers[H7703] come[H935] unto her, saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

54. A sound[H6963] of a cry[H2201] cometh from Babylon,[H4480] [H894] and great[H1419] destruction[H7667] from the land[H4480] [H776] of the Chaldeans: [H3778]

55. Because[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath spoiled[H7703] [H853] Babylon,[H894] and destroyed[H6] out of[H4480] her the great[H1419] voice;[H6963] when her waves[H1530] do roar[H1993] like great[H7227] waters,[H4325] a noise[H7588] of their voice[H6963] is uttered: [H5414]

56. Because[H3588] the spoiler[H7703] is come[H935] upon[H5921] her, even upon[H5921] Babylon,[H894] and her mighty men[H1368] are taken,[H3920] every one of their bows[H7198] is broken:[H2865] for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] God[H410] of recompenses[H1578] shall surely requite.[H7999] [H7999]

57. And I will make drunk[H7937] her princes,[H8269] and her wise[H2450] men, her captains,[H6346] and her rulers,[H5461] and her mighty men:[H1368] and they shall sleep[H3462] a perpetual[H5769] sleep,[H8142] and not[H3808] wake,[H6974] saith[H5002] the King,[H4428] whose name[H8034] is the LORD[H3068] of hosts.[H6635]

58. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] The broad[H7342] walls[H2346] of Babylon[H894] shall be utterly broken,[H6209] [H6209] and her high[H1364] gates[H8179] shall be burned[H3341] with fire;[H784] and the people[H5971] shall labor[H3021] in vain,[H7385] and the folk[H3816] in the fire,[H784] and they shall be weary.[H3286]

59. The word[H1697] which[H834] Jeremiah[H3414] the prophet[H5030] commanded[H6680] [H853] Seraiah[H8304] the son[H1121] of Neriah,[H5374] the son[H1121] of Maaseiah,[H4271] when he went[H1980] with[H854] Zedekiah[H6667] the king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] into Babylon[H894] in the fourth[H7243] year[H8141] of his reign.[H4427] And this Seraiah[H8304] was a quiet[H4496] prince.[H8269]

60. So Jeremiah[H3414] wrote[H3789] in[H413] a[H259] book[H5612] [H853] all[H3605] the evil[H7451] that[H834] should come[H935] upon[H413] Babylon,[H894] even[H853] all[H3605] these[H428] words[H1697] that are written[H3789] against[H413] Babylon.[H894]

61. And Jeremiah[H3414] said[H559] to[H413] Seraiah,[H8304] When thou comest[H935] to Babylon,[H894] and shalt see,[H7200] and shalt read[H7121] [H853] all[H3605] these[H428] words;[H1697]

62. Then shalt thou say,[H559] O LORD,[H3068] thou[H859] hast spoken[H1696] against[H413] this[H2088] place,[H4725] to cut it off,[H3772] that none[H1115] shall[H1961] remain[H3427] in it, neither man[H4480] [H120] nor[H5704] beast,[H929] but[H3588] that it shall be[H1961] desolate[H8077] forever.[H5769]

63. And it shall be,[H1961] when thou hast made an end[H3615] of reading[H7121] [H853] this[H2088] book,[H5612] that thou shalt bind[H7194] a stone[H68] to[H5921] it, and cast[H7993] it into[H413] the midst[H8432] of Euphrates: [H6578]

64. And thou shalt say,[H559] Thus[H3602] shall Babylon[H894] sink,[H8257] and shall not[H3808] rise[H6965] from[H4480] [H6440] the evil[H7451] that[H834] I[H595] will bring[H935] upon[H5921] her: and they shall be weary.[H3286] Thus[H5704] far[H2008] are the words[H1697] of Jeremiah.[H3414]
