1 # The word <01697> that the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8765) against Babylon <0894> and against the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778> by <03027> Jeremiah <03414> the prophet <05030>.
2 Declare <05046> (8685) ye among the nations <01471>, and publish <08085> (8685), and set up <05375> (8798) a standard <05251>; publish <08085> (8685), and conceal <03582> (8762) not: say <0559> (8798) , Babylon <0894> is taken <03920> (8738), Bel <01078> is confounded <03001> (8689), Merodach <04781> is broken in pieces <02865> (8804); her idols <06091> are confounded <03001> (8689), her images <01544> are broken in pieces <02865> (8804).
3 For out of the north <06828> there cometh up <05927> (8804) a nation <01471> against her, which shall make <07896> (8799) her land <0776> desolate <08047>, and none shall dwell <03427> (8802) therein: they shall remove <05110> (8804) , they shall depart <01980> (8804), both man <0120> and beast <0929>.
4 In those days <03117>, and in that time <06256>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, the children <01121> of Israel <03478> shall come <0935> (8799), they and the children <01121> of Judah <03063> together <03162>, going <01980> (8800) and weeping <01058> (8800): they shall go <03212> (8799), and seek <01245> (8762) the LORD <03068> their God <0430>.
5 They shall ask <07592> (8799) the way <01870> to Zion <06726> with their faces <06440> thitherward <02008> , saying, Come <0935> (8798), and let us join <03867> (8738) ourselves to the LORD <03068> in a perpetual <05769> covenant <01285> that shall not be forgotten <07911> (8735).
6 My people <05971> hath been lost <06> (8802) sheep <06629>: their shepherds <07462> (8802) have caused them to go astray <08582> (8689), they have turned them away <07725> (8790) (8675) <07726> on the mountains <02022>: they have gone <01980> (8804) from mountain <02022> to hill <01389>, they have forgotten <07911> (8804) their restingplace <07258>.

7 All that found <04672> (8802) them have devoured <0398> (8804) them: and their adversaries <06862> said <0559> (8804), We offend <0816> (8799) not, because they have sinned <02398> (8804) against the LORD <03068>, the habitation <05116> of justice <06664>, even the LORD <03068>, the hope <04723> of their fathers <01>.
8 Remove <05110> (8798) out of the midst <08432> of Babylon <0894>, and go forth <03318> (8798) (8675) <03318> (8799) out of the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778>, and be as the he goats <06260> before <06440> the flocks <06629>.
9 # For, lo, I will raise <05782> (8688) and cause to come up <05927> (8688) against Babylon <0894> an assembly <06951> of great <01419> nations <01471> from the north <06828> country <0776>: and they shall set themselves in array <06186> (8804) against her; from thence she shall be taken <03920> (8735): their arrows <02671> shall be as of a mighty <01368> expert man <07919> (8688) (8676) <07921> (8688); none shall return <07725> (8799) in vain <07387>.
10 And Chaldea <03778> shall be a spoil <07998>: all that spoil <07997> (8802) her shall be satisfied <07646> (8799), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
11 Because ye were glad <08055> (8799), because ye rejoiced <05937> (8799), O ye destroyers <08154> (8802) of mine heritage <05159>, because ye are grown fat <06335> (8799) as the heifer <05697> at grass <01877> (8676) <01758> (8801), and bellow <06670> (8799) as bulls <047>;
12 Your mother <0517> shall be sore <03966> confounded <0954> (8804); she that bare <03205> (8802) you shall be ashamed <02659> (8804): behold, the hindermost <0319> of the nations <01471> shall be a wilderness <04057>, a dry land <06723>, and a desert <06160>.
13 Because of the wrath <07110> of the LORD <03068> it shall not be inhabited <03427> (8799), but it shall be wholly desolate <08077>: every one that goeth <05674> (8802) by Babylon <0894> shall be astonished <08074> (8799), and hiss <08319> (8799) at all her plagues <04347>.
14 Put yourselves in array <06186> (8798) against Babylon <0894> round about <05439>: all ye that bend <01869> (8802) the bow <07198>, shoot <03034> (8798) at her, spare <02550> (8799) no arrows <02671>: for she hath sinned <02398> (8804) against the LORD <03068>.
15 Shout <07321> (8685) against her round about <05439>: she hath given <05414> (8804) her hand <03027> : her foundations <0803> are fallen <05307> (8804), her walls <02346> are thrown down <02040> (8738): for it is the vengeance <05360> of the LORD <03068>: take vengeance <05358> (8734) upon her; as she hath done <06213> (8804), do <06213> (8798) unto her.
16 Cut off <03772> (8798) the sower <02232> (8802) from Babylon <0894>, and him that handleth <08610> (8802) the sickle <04038> in the time <06256> of harvest <07105>: for fear <06440> of the oppressing <03238> (8802) sword <02719> they shall turn <06437> (8799) every one <0376> to his people <05971>, and they shall flee <05127> (8799) every one <0376> to his own land <0776>.
17 Israel <03478> is a scattered <06340> (8801) sheep <07716>; the lions <0738> have driven him away <05080> (8689): first <07223> the king <04428> of Assyria <0804> hath devoured <0398> (8804) him; and last <0314> this Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> hath broken his bones <06105> (8765).
18 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478> ; Behold, I will punish <06485> (8802) the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> and his land <0776>, as I have punished <06485> (8804) the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>.
19 And I will bring <07725> <00> Israel <03478> again <07725> (8790) to his habitation <05116>, and he shall feed <07462> (8804) on Carmel <03760> and Bashan <01316>, and his soul <05315> shall be satisfied <07646> (8799) upon mount <02022> Ephraim <0669> and Gilead <01568>.
20 In those days <03117>, and in that time <06256>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, the iniquity <05771> of Israel <03478> shall be sought for <01245> (8792), and there shall be none; and the sins <02403> of Judah <03063>, and they shall not be found <04672> (8735): for I will pardon <05545> (8799) them whom I reserve <07604> (8686).
21 # Go up <05927> (8798) against the land <0776> of Merathaim <04850>, even against it, and against the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Pekod <06489>: waste <02717> (8798) and utterly destroy <02763> (8687) after <0310> them, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, and do <06213> (8798) according to all that I have commanded <06680> (8765) thee.
22 A sound <06963> of battle <04421> is in the land <0776>, and of great <01419> destruction <07667>.
23 How is the hammer <06360> of the whole earth <0776> cut asunder <01438> (8738) and broken <07665> (8735) ! how is Babylon <0894> become a desolation <08047> among the nations <01471>!
24 I have laid a snare <03369> (8804) for thee, and thou art also taken <03920> (8738), O Babylon <0894>, and thou wast not aware <03045> (8804): thou art found <04672> (8738), and also caught <08610> (8738), because thou hast striven <01624> (8694) against the LORD <03068>.
25 The LORD <03068> hath opened <06605> (8804) his armoury <0214>, and hath brought forth <03318> (8686) the weapons <03627> of his indignation <02195>: for this is the work <04399> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635> in the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778>.
26 Come <0935> (8798) against her from the utmost border <07093>, open <06605> (8798) her storehouses <03965> : cast her up <05549> (8798) as heaps <06194>, and destroy her utterly <02763> (8685): let nothing of her be left <07611> .
27 Slay <02717> (8798) all her bullocks <06499>; let them go down <03381> (8799) to the slaughter <02874> : woe <01945> unto them! for their day <03117> is come <0935> (8802), the time <06256> of their visitation <06486>.
28 The voice <06963> of them that flee <05127> (8801) and escape out <06405> of the land <0776> of Babylon <0894>, to declare <05046> (8687) in Zion <06726> the vengeance <05360> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, the vengeance <05360> of his temple <01964>.
29 Call together <08085> (8685) the archers <07228> against Babylon <0894>: all ye that bend <01869> (8802) the bow <07198>, camp <02583> (8798) against it round about <05439>; let none thereof escape <06413>: recompense <07999> (8761) her according to her work <06467>; according to all that she hath done <06213> (8804), do <06213> (8798) unto her: for she hath been proud <02102> (8804) against the LORD <03068>, against the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>.
30 Therefore shall her young men <0970> fall <05307> (8799) in the streets <07339>, and all her men <0582> of war <04421> shall be cut off <01826> (8735) in that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud <02087>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>: for thy day <03117> is come <0935> (8802), the time <06256> that I will visit <06485> (8804) thee.
32 And the most proud <02087> shall stumble <03782> (8804) and fall <05307> (8804), and none shall raise him up <06965> (8688): and I will kindle <03341> (8689) a fire <0784> in his cities <05892>, and it shall devour <0398> (8804) all round about <05439> him.
33 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; The children <01121> of Israel <03478> and the children <01121> of Judah <03063> were oppressed <06231> (8803) together <03162>: and all that took them captives <07617> (8802) held them fast <02388> (8689); they refused <03985> (8765) to let them go <07971> (8763).
34 Their Redeemer <01350> (8802) is strong <02389>; the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> is his name <08034>: he shall throughly <07378> (8800) plead <07378> (8799) their cause <07379>, that he may give rest <07280> (8689) to the land <0776>, and disquiet <07264> (8689) the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Babylon <0894>.
35 A sword <02719> is upon the Chaldeans <03778>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, and upon the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Babylon <0894>, and upon her princes <08269>, and upon her wise <02450> men.
36 A sword <02719> is upon the liars <0907>; and they shall dote <02973> (8738): a sword <02719> is upon her mighty men <01368>; and they shall be dismayed <02865> (8804).
37 A sword <02719> is upon their horses <05483>, and upon their chariots <07393>, and upon all the mingled people <06153> that are in the midst <08432> of her; and they shall become as women <0802>: a sword <02719> is upon her treasures <0214>; and they shall be robbed <0962> (8795).
38 A drought <02721> is upon her waters <04325>; and they shall be dried up <03001> (8804): for it is the land <0776> of graven images <06456>, and they are mad <01984> (8704) upon their idols <0367>.
39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert <06728> with the wild beasts of the islands <0338> shall dwell <03427> (8799) there, and the owls <01323> <03284> shall dwell <03427> (8804) therein: and it shall be no more inhabited <03427> (8799) for ever <05331>; neither shall it be dwelt <07931> (8799) in from generation <01755> to generation <01755>.
40 As God <0430> overthrew <04114> Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah <06017> and the neighbour <07934> cities thereof, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; so shall no man <0376> abide <03427> (8799) there, neither shall any son <01121> of man <0120> dwell <01481> (8799) therein.
41 Behold, a people <05971> shall come <0935> (8802) from the north <06828>, and a great <01419> nation <01471> , and many <07227> kings <04428> shall be raised up <05782> (8735) from the coasts <03411> of the earth <0776>.
42 They shall hold <02388> (8686) the bow <07198> and the lance <03591>: they are cruel <0394>, and will not shew mercy <07355> (8762): their voice <06963> shall roar <01993> (8799) like the sea <03220>, and they shall ride <07392> (8799) upon horses <05483>, every one put in array <06186> (8803), like a man <0376> to the battle <04421> , against thee, O daughter <01323> of Babylon <0894>.
43 The king <04428> of Babylon <0894> hath heard <08085> (8804) the report <08088> of them, and his hands <03027> waxed feeble <07503> (8804): anguish <06869> took hold <02388> (8689) of him, and pangs <02427> as of a woman in travail <03205> (8802).
44 Behold, he shall come up <05927> (8799) like a lion <0738> from the swelling <01347> of Jordan <03383> unto the habitation <05116> of the strong <0386>: but I will make <07323> <00> them suddenly <07280> (8686) run away <07323> (8686) (8675) <07323> (8799) from her: and who is a chosen <0977> (8803) man, that I may appoint <06485> (8799) over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time <03259> (8686)? and who is that shepherd <07462> (8802) that will stand <05975> (8799) before <06440> me?
45 Therefore hear <08085> (8798) ye the counsel <06098> of the LORD <03068>, that he hath taken <03289> (8804) against Babylon <0894>; and his purposes <04284>, that he hath purposed <02803> (8804) against the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778>: Surely the least <06810> of the flock <06629> shall draw them out <05498> (8799): surely he shall make their habitation <05116> desolate <08074> (8686) with them.
46 At the noise <06963> of the taking <08610> (8738) of Babylon <0894> the earth <0776> is moved <07493> (8735), and the cry <02201> is heard <08085> (8738) among the nations <01471>.
