1 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; Behold H2009 , I will raise up H5782 against H5921 PREP Babylon H894 LFS , and against H413 W-PREP them that dwell H3427 in the midst H3820 NMS of them that rise up H6965 against me , a destroying H7843 wind H7307 NFS ;
2 And will send H7971 unto Babylon H894 fanners H2114 , that shall fan H2219 her , and shall empty H1238 her land H776 : for H3588 CONJ in the day H3117 B-NMS of trouble H7451 AFS they shall be H1961 VQQ3MP against H5921 PREP-3FS her round about H5439 M-ADV .
3 Against H413 PREP him that bendeth H1869 let the archer H1869 bend H1869 his bow H7198 , and against H413 PREP 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 NMS her host H6635 .
4 Thus the slain H2491 NMP shall fall H5307 in the land H776 B-GFS of the Chaldeans H3778 TMP , and they that are thrust through H1856 in her streets H2351 .
5 For H3588 CONJ Israel H3478 hath not H3808 ADV been forsaken H488 , nor Judah H3063 of his God H430 , of the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 ; though H3588 CONJ their land H776 was filled H4390 VQQ3FS with sin H817 against the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 LMS .
6 Flee H5127 out of the midst H8432 of Babylon H894 LFS , and deliver H4422 every man H376 NMS his soul H5315 NMS-3MS : be not H408 NPAR cut off H1826 in her iniquity H5771 ; for H3588 CONJ this H1931 PPRO-3FS is the time H6256 NMS of the LORD H3068 L-EDS \'s vengeance H5360 ; he will render H7999 unto her a recompense H1576 .
7 Babylon H894 LFS hath been a golden H2091 NMS cup H3563 in the LORD H3068 EDS \'s hand H3027 B-CFS , that made all H3605 NMS the earth H776 D-GFS drunken H7937 : the nations H1471 NMP have drunken H8354 of her wine H3196 ; therefore H3651 ADV the nations H1471 NMP are mad H1984 .
8 Babylon H894 is suddenly H6597 ADV fallen H5307 and destroyed H7665 W-VNY3FS : howl H3213 for H5921 PREP-3FS her ; take H3947 balm H6875 for her pain H4341 , if so be H194 ADV she may be healed H7495 .
9 We would have healed H7495 Babylon H894 LFS , but she is not H3808 W-NPAR healed H7495 : forsake H5800 her , and let us go H1980 every one H376 NMS into his own country H776 L-CFS-3MS : for H3588 CONJ her judgment H4941 reacheth H5060 unto H413 PREP heaven H8064 D-NMD , and is lifted up H5375 even to H5704 PREP the skies H7834 .
10 The LORD H3068 EDS hath brought forth VHQ3MS our righteousness H6666 : come H935 , and let us declare H5608 in Zion H6726 the work H4639 M-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 .
11 Make bright H1305 the arrows H2671 ; gather H4390 the shields H7982 : the LORD H3068 EDS hath raised up H5782 the spirit H7307 NFS of the kings H4428 CMP of the Medes H4074 : for H3588 CONJ his device H4209 is against H5921 PREP Babylon H894 LFS , to destroy H7843 it ; because H3588 CONJ it H1931 PPRO-3FS is the vengeance H5360 of the LORD H3068 EDS , the vengeance H5360 of his temple H1964 .
12 Set up H5375 the standard H5251 upon H413 PREP the walls H2346 of Babylon H894 LFS , make the watch H4929 strong H2388 , set up H6965 the watchmen H8104 , prepare H3559 the ambushes H693 : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath both H1571 CONJ devised H2161 and H1571 CONJ done H6213 VQQ3MS that which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS against H413 PREP the inhabitants H3427 of Babylon H894 .

14 The LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 hath sworn H7650 by himself H5315 B-GFS-3MS , saying , Surely H518 PART I will fill H4390 thee with men H120 NMS , as with caterpillars H3218 ; and they shall lift up H6030 a shout H1959 against H5921 thee .
15 He hath made H6213 the earth H776 GFS by his power H3581 B-CMS-3MS , he hath established H3559 the world H8398 NFS by his wisdom H2451 , and hath stretched out H5186 VQQ3MS the heaven H8064 by his understanding H8394 .

17 Every H3605 NMS man H120 NMS is brutish H1197 by his knowledge H1847 ; every H3605 NMS founder H6884 is confounded H3001 by the graven image H6459 : for H3588 CONJ his molten image H5262 is falsehood H8267 NMS , and there is no H3808 W-NPAR breath H7307 NFS in them .
18 They H1992 PPRO-3MP are vanity H1892 NMS , the work H4639 M-CMS of errors H8595 : in the time H6256 of their visitation H6486 they shall perish H6 VQY3MP .
19 The portion H2506 CMS of Jacob H3290 is not H3808 ADV like them H428 K-PPRO-3MP ; for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is the former H3335 of all things H3605 : and Israel is the rod H7626 of his inheritance H5159 : the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 is his name H8034 CMS-3MS .
20 Thou H859 PPRO-2MS art my battle axe H4661 and weapons H3627 of war H4421 NFS : for with thee will I break in pieces H5310 the nations H1471 NMP , and with thee will I destroy H7843 kingdoms H4467 ;

24 And I will render H7999 unto Babylon H894 and to all H3605 NMS the inhabitants H3427 of Chaldea H3778 all H3605 NMS their evil H7451 CFS-3MP that H834 RPRO they have done H6213 VQQ3MP in Zion H6726 in your sight H5869 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
25 Behold H2009 , I am against H413 PREP-2MS thee , O destroying H4889 mountain H2022 CMS , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , which destroyest H7843 all H3605 NMS the earth H776 D-GFS : and I will stretch out H5186 mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS upon H5921 PREP-2MS thee , and roll thee down H1556 from H4480 PREP the rocks H5553 , and will make H5414 thee a burnt H8316 mountain H2022 .
26 And they shall not H3808 W-NPAR take H3947 VQY3MP of H4480 PREP-2MS thee a stone H68 GFS for a corner H6438 , nor a stone H68 GFS for foundations H4146 ; but H3588 CONJ thou shalt be H1961 VQY2MS desolate H8077 forever H5769 NMS , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
27 Set ye up H5375 a standard H5251 in the land H776 B-NFS , blow H8628 the trumpet H7782 among the nations H1471 , prepare H6942 the nations H1471 NMP against H5921 PREP-3FS her , call together H8085 against H5921 PREP-3FS her the kingdoms H4467 of Ararat H780 , Minni H4508 , and Ashchenaz H813 ; appoint H6485 a captain H2951 against H5921 PREP-3FS her ; cause the horses H5483 to come up H5927 as the rough H5569 caterpillars H3218 .
28 Prepare H6942 against H5921 PREP-3FS her the nations H1471 NMP with the kings H4428 CMP of the Medes H4074 , the captains H6346 thereof , and all H3605 NMS the rulers H5461 thereof , and all H3605 NMS the land H776 GFS of his dominion H4475 NFS-3MS .
29 And the land H776 D-GFS shall tremble H7493 and sorrow H2342 : for H3588 CONJ every purpose H4284 CFP of the LORD H3068 EDS shall be performed H6965 against H5921 PREP Babylon H894 LFS , to make H7760 L-VQFC the land H776 GFS of Babylon H894 LFS a desolation H8047 without H369 an inhabitant H3427 .
30 The mighty men H1368 of Babylon H894 have forborne H2308 VQQ3MP to fight H3898 , they have remained H3427 in their holds H4679 : their might H1369 hath failed H5405 ; they became H1961 VQQ3MP as women H802 : they have burned H3341 her dwelling places H4908 ; her bars H1280 are broken H7665 .
31 One post H7323 VQPMS shall run H7323 VQPMS to meet H7125 L-VQFC another H7323 VQY3MS , and one messenger H5046 VHPMS to meet H7125 L-VQFC another H5046 VHPMS , to show H5046 VHPMS the king H4428 L-CMS of Babylon H894 LFS that H3588 CONJ his city H5892 is taken H3920 at one end H7097 ,

33 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; The daughter H1323 CFS of Babylon H894 LFS is like a threshingfloor H1637 , it is time H6256 NMS to thresh H1869 her : yet H5750 ADV a little while H4592 AMS , and the time H6256 NMS of her harvest H7105 shall come H935 .

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

39 In their heat H2527 I will make H7896 VQY1MS their feasts H4960 , and I will make them drunken H7937 , that H4616 L-CONJ they may rejoice H5937 , and sleep H3462 a perpetual H5769 NMS sleep H8142 , and not H3808 W-NPAR wake H6974 VHY3MP , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .

41 How H349 is Sheshach H8347 taken H3920 ! and how is the praise H8416 of the whole H3605 NMS earth H776 D-GFS surprised H8610 ! how H349 is Babylon H894 LFS become H1961 VQQ3FS an astonishment H8047 among the nations H1471 !
42 The sea H3220 D-NMS is come up H5927 upon H5921 PREP Babylon H894 LFS : she is covered H3680 with the multitude H1995 of the waves H1530 thereof .
