Net Parallel Bible with Kjvp for Jeremiah 51 12

1 The LORD says, "I will cause a destructive wind to blow against Babylon and the people who inhabit Babylonia.

2 I will send people to winnow Babylonia like a wind blowing away chaff. They will winnow her and strip her land bare. This will happen when they come against her from every direction, when it is time to destroy her.

3 Do not give her archers time to string their bows or to put on their coats of armor. Do not spare any of her young men. Completely destroy her whole army.

4 Let them fall slain in the land of Babylonia, mortally wounded in the streets of her cities.

5 "For Israel and Judah will not be forsaken by their God, the LORD who rules over all. For the land of Babylonia is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.

6 Get out of Babylonia quickly, you foreign people. Flee to save your lives. Do not let yourselves be killed because of her sins. For it is time for the LORD to wreak his revenge. He will pay Babylonia back for what she has done.

7 Babylonia had been a gold cup in the LORD's hand. She had made the whole world drunk. The nations had drunk from the wine of her wrath. So they have all gone mad.

8 But suddenly Babylonia will fall and be destroyed. Cry out in mourning over it! Get medicine for her wounds! Perhaps she can be healed!

9 Foreigners living there will say, 'We tried to heal her, but she could not be healed. Let's leave Babylonia and each go back to his own country. For judgment on her will be vast in its proportions. It will be like it is piled up to heaven, stacked up into the clouds.'

10 The exiles from Judah will say, 'The LORD has brought about a great deliverance for us! Come on, let's go and proclaim in Zion what the LORD our God has done!'

11 "Sharpen your arrows! Fill your quivers! The LORD will arouse a spirit of hostility in the kings of Media. For he intends to destroy Babylonia. For that is how the LORD will get his revenge— how he will get his revenge for the Babylonians' destruction of his temple.

12 Give the signal to attack Babylon's wall! Bring more guards! Post them all around the city! Put men in ambush! For the LORD will do what he has planned. He will do what he said he would do to the people of Babylon.

13 "You who live along the rivers of Babylon, the time of your end has come. You who are rich in plundered treasure, it is time for your lives to be cut off.

14 The LORD who rules over all has solemnly sworn, 'I will fill your land with enemy soldiers. They will swarm over it like locusts. They will raise up shouts of victory over it.'

15 He is the one who by his power made the earth. He is the one who by his wisdom fixed the world in place, by his understanding he spread out the heavens.

16 When his voice thunders, the waters in the heavens roar. He makes the clouds rise from the far-off horizons. He makes the lightning flash out in the midst of the rain. He unleashes the wind from the places where he stores it.

17 All idolaters will prove to be stupid and ignorant. Every goldsmith will be disgraced by the idol he made. For the image he forges is merely a sham. There is no breath in any of those idols.

18 They are worthless, objects to be ridiculed. When the time comes to punish them, they will be destroyed.

19 The LORD, who is the portion of the descendants of Jacob, is not like them. For he is the one who created everything, including the people of Israel whom he claims as his own. He is known as the LORD who rules over all.

20 "Babylon, you are my war club, my weapon for battle. I used you to smash nations. I used you to destroy kingdoms.

21 I used you to smash horses and their riders. I used you to smash chariots and their drivers.

22 I used you to smash men and women. I used you to smash old men and young men. I used you to smash young men and young women.

23 I used you to smash shepherds and their flocks. I used you to smash farmers and their teams of oxen. I used you to smash governors and leaders."

24 "But I will repay Babylon and all who live in Babylonia for all the wicked things they did in Zion right before the eyes of you Judeans," says the LORD.

25 The LORD says, "Beware! I am opposed to you, Babylon! You are like a destructive mountain that destroys all the earth. I will unleash my power against you; I will roll you off the cliffs and make you like a burned-out mountain.

26 No one will use any of your stones as a cornerstone. No one will use any of them in the foundation of his house. For you will lie desolate forever," says the LORD.

27 "Raise up battle flags throughout the lands. Sound the trumpets calling the nations to do battle. Prepare the nations to do battle against Babylonia. Call for these kingdoms to attack her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander to lead the attack. Send horses against her like a swarm of locusts.

28 Prepare the nations to do battle against her. Prepare the kings of the Medes. Prepare their governors and all their leaders. Prepare all the countries they rule to do battle against her.

29 The earth will tremble and writhe in agony. For the LORD will carry out his plan. He plans to make the land of Babylonia a wasteland where no one lives.

30 The soldiers of Babylonia will stop fighting. They will remain in their fortified cities. They will lose their strength to do battle. They will be as frightened as women. The houses in her cities will be set on fire. The gates of her cities will be broken down.

31 One runner after another will come to the king of Babylon. One messenger after another will come bringing news. They will bring news to the king of Babylon that his whole city has been captured.

32 They will report that the fords have been captured, the reed marshes have been burned, the soldiers are terrified.

33 For the LORD God of Israel who rules over all says, 'Fair Babylon will be like a threshing floor which has been trampled flat for harvest. The time for her to be cut down and harvested will come very soon.'

34 "King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon devoured me and drove my people out. Like a monster from the deep he swallowed me. He filled his belly with my riches. He made me an empty dish. He completely cleaned me out."

35 The person who lives in Zion says, "May Babylon pay for the violence done to me and to my relatives." Jerusalem says, "May those living in Babylonia pay for the bloodshed of my people."

36 Therefore the LORD says, "I will stand up for your cause. I will pay the Babylonians back for what they have done to you. I will dry up their sea. I will make their springs run dry.

37 Babylon will become a heap of ruins. Jackals will make their home there. It will become an object of horror and of hissing scorn, a place where no one lives.

38 The Babylonians are all like lions roaring for prey. They are like lion cubs growling for something to eat.

39 When their appetites are all stirred up, I will set out a banquet for them. I will make them drunk so that they will pass out, they will fall asleep forever, they will never wake up," says the LORD.

40 "I will lead them off to be slaughtered like lambs, rams, and male goats."

41 "See how Babylon has been captured! See how the pride of the whole earth has been taken! See what an object of horror Babylon has become among the nations!

42 The sea has swept over Babylon. She has been covered by a multitude of its waves.

43 The towns of Babylonia have become heaps of ruins. She has become a dry and barren desert. No one lives in those towns any more. No one even passes through them.

44 I will punish the god Bel in Babylon. I will make him spit out what he has swallowed. The nations will not come streaming to him any longer. Indeed, the walls of Babylon will fall."

45 "Get out of Babylon, my people! Flee to save your lives from the fierce anger of the LORD!

46 Do not lose your courage or become afraid because of the reports that are heard in the land. For a report will come in one year. Another report will follow it in the next. There will be violence in the land with ruler fighting against ruler."

47 "So the time will certainly come when I will punish the idols of Babylon. Her whole land will be put to shame. All her mortally wounded will collapse in her midst.

48 Then heaven and earth and all that is in them will sing for joy over Babylon. For destroyers from the north will attack it," says the LORD.

49 "Babylon must fall because of the Israelites she has killed, just as the earth's mortally wounded fell because of Babylon.

50 You who have escaped the sword, go, do not delay. Remember the LORD in a faraway land. Think about Jerusalem.

51 'We are ashamed because we have been insulted. Our faces show our disgrace. For foreigners have invaded the holy rooms in the LORD's temple.'

52 Yes, but the time will certainly come," says the LORD, "when I will punish her idols. Throughout her land the mortally wounded will groan.

53 Even if Babylon climbs high into the sky and fortifies her elevated stronghold, I will send destroyers against her," says the LORD.

54 Cries of anguish will come from Babylon, the sound of great destruction from the land of the Babylonians.

55 For the LORD is ready to destroy Babylon, and put an end to her loud noise. Their waves will roar like turbulent waters. They will make a deafening noise.

56 For a destroyer is attacking Babylon. Her warriors will be captured; their bows will be broken. For the LORD is a God who punishes; he pays back in full.

57 "I will make her officials and wise men drunk, along with her governors, leaders, and warriors. They will fall asleep forever and never wake up," says the King whose name is the LORD who rules over all.

58 This is what the LORD who rules over all says, "Babylon's thick wall will be completely demolished. Her high gates will be set on fire. The peoples strive for what does not satisfy. The nations grow weary trying to get what will be destroyed."

59 This is the order Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he went to King Zedekiah of Judah in Babylon during the fourth year of his reign. (Seraiah was a quartermaster.)

60 Jeremiah recorded on one scroll all the judgments that would come upon Babylon— all these prophecies written about Babylon.

61 Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, "When you arrive in Babylon, make sure you read aloud all these prophecies.

62 Then say, 'O LORD, you have announced that you will destroy this place so that no people or animals live in it any longer. Certainly it will lie desolate forever!'

63 When you finish reading this scroll aloud, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates River.

64 Then say, 'In the same way Babylon will sink and never rise again because of the judgments I am ready to bring upon her; they will grow faint.'" The prophecies of Jeremiah end here.

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 .

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

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 .

16 When he uttereth ^H5414 his voice ^H6963 ^L-CMS , there is a multitude ^H1995 of waters ^H4325 ^OMD in the heavens ^H8064 ^BD-NMP ; and he causeth the vapors ^H5387 to ascend ^H5927 ^W-VHY3MS from the ends ^H7097 ^M-CMS of the earth ^H776 ^NFS : he maketh ^H6213 ^VQQ3MS lightnings ^H1300 ^NMP with rain ^H4306 ^LD-NMS , and bringeth forth ^H3318 ^W-VHY3MS the wind ^H7307 ^NFS out of his treasures ^H214 .

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 ;

22 With thee also will I break in pieces ^H5310 man ^H376 ^NMS and woman ^H802 ; and with thee will I break in pieces ^H5310 old ^H2205 ^PFS 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 ^VQPMS 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 ^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 ,

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

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 .

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

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 .

36 Therefore ^H3651 ^L-ADV thus ^H3541 saith ^H559 ^VQQ3MS the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS ; Behold ^H2009 , I will plead ^H7378 thy cause ^H7379 , and take vengeance for thee ^H5358 ; and I will dry up ^H2717 her sea ^H3220 , and make her springs ^H4726 dry ^H3001 .

37 And Babylon ^H894 shall become ^H1961 ^W-VQQ3FS heaps ^H1530 , a dwelling place ^H4583 for dragons ^H8577 , an astonishment ^H8047 , and a hissing ^H8322 , without ^H369 an inhabitant ^H3427 .

38 They shall roar ^H7580 together ^H3162 ^ADV-3MS like lions ^H3715 : they shall yell ^H5286 as lions ^H738 \' whelps ^H1484 .

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 .

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

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 .

43 Her cities ^H5892 are ^H1961 ^VQQ3MP a desolation ^H8047 , a dry ^H6723 ^NFS land ^H776 ^GFS , and a wilderness ^H6160 , a land ^H776 ^GFS wherein ^H2004 no ^H3605 ^NMS man ^H376 ^NMS dwelleth ^H3427 , neither ^H3808 ^ADV doth any son ^H1121 of man ^H120 pass ^H5674 ^VQY3MS thereby ^H2004 .

44 And I will punish ^H6485 Bel ^H1078 in Babylon ^H894 , and I will bring forth ^H3318 out of his mouth ^H6310 ^M-CMS-3MS that which he hath swallowed up ^H1105 : and the nations ^H1471 ^NMP shall not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR flow together ^H5102 any more ^H5750 ^ADV unto ^H413 ^PREP-3MS him : yea ^H1571 ^CONJ , the wall ^H2346 of Babylon ^H894 ^LFS shall fall ^H5307 .

45 My people ^H5971 , go ^H3318 ye out of the midst ^H8432 of her , and deliver ^H4422 ye every man ^H376 ^NMS his soul ^H5315 ^NMS-3MS from the fierce ^H2740 ^M-CMS anger ^H639 ^CMS of the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS .

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 ^B-NFS ; a rumor ^H8052 shall both come ^H935 one year ^H8141 , and after ^H310 ^W-PREP-3MS that in another year ^H8141 shall come a rumor ^H8052 , and violence ^H2555 in the land ^H776 ^B-NFS , ruler ^H4910 against ^H5921 ^PREP ruler ^H4910 .

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

48 Then the heaven ^H8064 ^NMP and the earth ^H776 , and all ^H3605 ^W-CMS that ^H834 ^RPRO is therein , shall sing ^H7442 for ^H5921 ^PREP Babylon ^H894 ^LFS : for ^H3588 ^CONJ the spoilers ^H7703 shall come ^H935 ^VQY3MS unto her from the north ^H6828 ^M-NFS , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS .

49 As ^H1571 ^CONJ Babylon ^H894 ^LFS hath caused the slain ^H2491 of Israel ^H3478 to fall ^H5307 , so ^H1571 ^CONJ at Babylon ^H894 shall fall ^H5307 ^VQQ3MP the slain ^H2491 of all ^H3605 ^CMS the earth ^H776 ^D-GFS .

50 Ye that have escaped ^H6412 the sword ^H2719 ^M-NFS , go away ^H1980 , stand not still ^H408 ^ADV : remember ^H2142 the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS afar off ^H7350 , and let Jerusalem ^H3389 come ^H5927 into ^H5921 ^PREP your mind ^H3824 .

51 We are confounded ^H954 , because ^H3588 ^CONJ we have heard ^H8085 ^VQQ1MP reproach ^H2781 : shame ^H3639 hath covered ^H3680 our faces ^H6440 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ strangers ^H2114 are come ^H935 ^VQQ3MP into ^H5921 ^PREP the sanctuaries ^H4720 of the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS \'s house ^H1004 ^CMS .

52 Wherefore ^H3651 ^L-ADV , behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , the days ^H3117 ^NMP come ^H935 , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , that I will do judgment ^H6485 upon ^H5921 ^PREP her graven images ^H6456 : and through all ^H3605 ^WB-CMS her land ^H776 the wounded ^H2491 shall groan ^H602 .

53 Though ^H3588 ^CONJ Babylon ^H894 should mount up ^H5927 to heaven ^H8064 ^D-NMD , and though ^H3588 ^CONJ she should fortify ^H1219 the height ^H4791 of her strength ^H5797 , yet from me shall spoilers ^H7703 come ^H935 ^VQY3MP unto her , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS .

54 A sound ^H6963 ^CMS of a cry ^H2201 cometh from Babylon ^H894 , and great ^H1419 ^AMS destruction ^H7667 from the land ^H776 ^M-NFS of the Chaldeans ^H3778 ^LMP :

55 Because ^H3588 ^CONJ the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS hath spoiled ^H7703 Babylon ^H894 ^LFS , and destroyed ^H6 out of ^H4480 ^M-PREP-3FS her the great ^H1419 ^AMS voice ^H6963 ^CMS ; when her waves ^H1530 do roar ^H1993 like great ^H7227 ^AMP waters ^H4325 ^K-NMP , a noise ^H7588 of their voice ^H6963 is uttered ^H5414 :

56 Because ^H3588 ^CONJ the spoiler ^H7703 ^VQPMS is come ^H935 upon ^H5921 ^PREP her , even upon ^H5921 ^PREP Babylon ^H894 ^LFS , and her mighty men ^H1368 are taken ^H3920 , every one of their bows ^H7198 is broken ^H2865 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS God ^H410 ^EDS of recompenses ^H1578 shall surely requite ^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 ^NMS sleep ^H8142 , and not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR wake ^H6974 ^VHY3MP , saith ^H5002 the King ^H4428 ^D-NMS , whose name ^H8034 ^CMS-3MS is the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS of hosts ^H6635 .

58 Thus ^H3541 saith ^H559 ^VQQ3MS the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS of hosts ^H6635 ; The broad ^H7342 walls ^H2346 of Babylon ^H894 ^LFS shall be utterly broken ^H6209 , and her high ^H1364 ^D-AMP gates ^H8179 shall be burned ^H3341 with fire ^H784 ; and the people ^H5971 ^NMP shall labor ^H3021 in vain ^H7385 , and the folk ^H3816 ^W-NMP in the fire ^H784 ^CMS , and they shall be weary ^H3286 .

59 The word ^H1697 ^D-NMS which ^H834 ^RPRO Jeremiah ^H3414 the prophet ^H5030 commanded ^H6680 ^VPQ3MS Seraiah ^H8304 the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Neriah ^H5374 , the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Maaseiah ^H4271 , when he went ^H1980 with ^H854 ^PREP Zedekiah ^H6667 the king ^H4428 ^NMS of Judah ^H3063 into Babylon ^H894 ^LFS in the fourth ^H7243 year ^H8141 ^B-CFS of his reign ^H4427 . And this Seraiah ^H8304 was a quiet ^H4496 prince ^H8269 .

60 So Jeremiah ^H3414 wrote ^H3789 in ^H413 ^PREP a ^H259 ^MMS book ^H5612 ^CMS all ^H3605 ^NMS the evil ^H7451 ^D-AFS that ^H834 ^RPRO should come ^H935 ^VQY2MS upon ^H413 ^PREP Babylon ^H894 ^LFS , even all ^H3605 ^NMS these ^H428 ^D-DPRO-3MP words ^H1697 ^AMP that are written ^H3789 against ^H413 ^PREP Babylon ^H894 .

61 And Jeremiah ^H3414 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS to ^H413 ^PREP Seraiah ^H8304 , When thou comest ^H935 to Babylon ^H894 , and shalt see ^H7200 , and shalt read ^H7121 all ^H3605 ^NMS these ^H428 words ^H1697 ^AMP ;

62 Then shalt thou say ^H559 , O LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , thou ^H859 ^PPRO-2MS hast spoken ^H1696 against ^H413 ^PREP this ^H2088 ^D-PMS place ^H4725 ^D-NMS , to cut it off ^H3772 , that none ^H1115 ^L-NPAR shall ^H1961 remain ^H3427 ^VQPMS in it , neither man ^H120 nor ^H5704 ^W-PREP beast ^H929 ^NFS , but ^H3588 ^CONJ that it shall be ^H1961 desolate ^H8077 forever ^H5769 ^NMS .

63 And it shall be ^H1961 ^W-VQQ3MS , when thou hast made an end ^H3615 of reading ^H7121 this ^H2088 ^D-PMS book ^H5612 , that thou shalt bind ^H7194 a stone ^H68 ^GFS to ^H5921 ^PREP-3MS it , and cast ^H7993 it into ^H413 ^PREP the midst ^H8432 of Euphrates ^H6578 :

64 And thou shalt say ^H559 , Thus ^H3602 ^ADV shall Babylon ^H894 ^LFS sink ^H8257 , and shall not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR rise ^H6965 ^VQY3FS from ^M-CMP the evil ^H7451 ^D-AFS that ^H834 ^RPRO I ^H595 ^PPRO-1MS will bring ^H935 ^VHPMS upon ^H5921 ^PREP-3FS her : and they shall be weary ^H3286 . Thus ^H5704 ^PREP far ^H2008 ^ADV are the words ^H1697 ^CMP of Jeremiah ^H3414 .
