| 51:1 | Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Behold, I will raise up <05782> (8688) against Babylon <0894>, and against them that dwell <03427> (8802) in the midst <03820> of them that rise up <06965> (8801) against me, a destroying <07843> (8688) wind <07307>; {midst: Heb. heart} |
| 51:2 | And will send <07971> (8765) unto Babylon <0894> fanners <02114> (8801), that shall fan <02219> (8765) her, and shall empty <01238> (8787) her land <0776>: for in the day <03117> of trouble <07451> they shall be against her round about <05439>. |
| 51:3 | Against [him that] bendeth <01869> (0) let the archer <01869> (8802) bend <01869> (8799) his bow <07198>, and against [him that] lifteth himself up <05927> (8691) in his brigandine <05630>: and spare <02550> (8799) ye not her young men <0970>; destroy ye utterly <02763> (8685) all her host <06635>. |
| 51:4 | Thus the slain <02491> shall fall <05307> (8804) in the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778>, and [they that are] thrust through <01856> (8794) in her streets <02351>. |
| 51:5 | For Israel <03478> [hath] not [been] forsaken <0488>, nor Judah <03063> of his God <0430>, of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; though their land <0776> was filled <04390> (8804) with sin <0817> against the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>. |
| 51:6 | Flee out <05127> (8798) of the midst <08432> of Babylon <0894>, and deliver <04422> (8761) every man <0376> his soul <05315>: be not cut off <01826> (8735) in her iniquity <05771>; for this [is] the time <06256> of the LORD'S <03068> vengeance <05360>; he will render <07999> (8764) unto her a recompence <01576>. |
| 51:7 | Babylon <0894> [hath been] a golden <02091> cup <03563> in the LORD'S <03068> hand <03027>, that made all the earth <0776> drunken <07937> (8764): the nations <01471> have drunken <08354> (8804) of her wine <03196>; therefore the nations <01471> are mad <01984> (8704). |
| 51:8 | Babylon <0894> is suddenly <06597> fallen <05307> (8804) and destroyed <07665> (8735): howl <03213> (8685) for her; take <03947> (8798) balm <06875> for her pain <04341>, if so be she may be healed <07495> (8735). |
| 51:9 | We would have healed <07495> (8765) Babylon <0894>, but she is not healed <07495> (8738): forsake <05800> (8798) her, and let us go <03212> (8799) every one <0376> into his own country <0776>: for her judgment <04941> reacheth <05060> (8804) unto heaven <08064>, and is lifted up <05375> (8738) [even] to the skies <07834>. |
| 51:10 | The LORD <03068> hath brought forth <03318> (8689) our righteousness <06666>: come <0935> (8798), and let us declare <05608> (8762) in Zion <06726> the work <04639> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>. |
| 51:11 | Make bright <01305> (8685) the arrows <02671>; gather <04390> (8798) the shields <07982>: the LORD <03068> hath raised up <05782> (8689) the spirit <07307> of the kings <04428> of the Medes <04074>: for his device <04209> [is] against Babylon <0894>, to destroy <07843> (8687) it; because it [is] the vengeance <05360> of the LORD <03068>, the vengeance <05360> of his temple <01964>. {bright: Heb. pure} |
| 51:12 | Set up <05375> (8798) the standard <05251> upon the walls <02346> of Babylon <0894>, make the watch <04929> strong <02388> (8685), set up <06965> (8685) the watchmen <08104> (8802), prepare <03559> (8685) the ambushes <0693> (8802): for the LORD <03068> hath both devised <02161> (8804) and done <06213> (8804) that which he spake <01696> (8765) against the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Babylon <0894>. {ambushes: Heb. liers in wait} |
| 51:13 | O thou that dwellest <07931> (8802) (8675) <07931> (8804) upon many <07227> waters <04325>, abundant <07227> in treasures <0214>, thine end <07093> is come <0935> (8802), [and] the measure <0520> of thy covetousness <01215>. |
| 51:14 | The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sworn <07650> (8738) by himself <05315>, [saying], Surely I will fill <04390> (8765) thee with men <0120>, as with caterpillers <03218>; and they shall lift up <06030> (8804) a shout <01959> against thee. {by himself: Heb. by his soul} {lift up: Heb. utter} |
| 51:15 | He hath made <06213> (8802) the earth <0776> by his power <03581>, he hath established <03559> (8688) the world <08398> by his wisdom <02451>, and hath stretched out <05186> (8804) the heaven <08064> by his understanding <08394>. |
| 51:16 | When he uttereth <05414> (8800) [his] voice <06963>, [there is] a multitude <01995> of waters <04325> in the heavens <08064>; and he causeth the vapours <05387> to ascend <05927> (8686) from the ends <07097> of the earth <0776>: he maketh <06213> (8804) lightnings <01300> with rain <04306>, and bringeth forth <03318> (8686) the wind <07307> out of his treasures <0214>. {multitude: or, noise} |
| 51:17 | Every man <0120> is brutish <01197> (8738) by [his] knowledge <01847>; every founder <06884> (8802) is confounded <03001> (8689) by the graven image <06459>: for his molten image <05262> [is] falsehood <08267>, and [there is] no breath <07307> in them. {is brutish...: or, is more brutish than to know} |
| 51:18 | They [are] vanity <01892>, the work <04639> of errors <08595>: in the time <06256> of their visitation <06486> they shall perish <06> (8799). |
| 51:19 | The portion <02506> of Jacob <03290> [is] not like them; for he [is] the former <03335> (8802) of all things: and [Israel is] the rod <07626> of his inheritance <05159>: the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> [is] his name <08034>. |
| 51:20 | Thou [art] my battle axe <04661> [and] weapons <03627> of war <04421>: for with thee will I break in pieces <05310> (8765) the nations <01471>, and with thee will I destroy <07843> (8689) kingdoms <04467>; {with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee} |
| 51:21 | And with thee will I break in pieces <05310> (8765) the horse <05483> and his rider <07392> (8802); and with thee will I break in pieces <05310> (8765) the chariot <07393> and his rider <07392> (8802); |
| 51:22 | With thee also will I break in pieces <05310> (8765) man <0376> and woman <0802>; and with thee will I break in pieces <05310> (8765) old <02205> and young <05288>; and with thee will I break in pieces <05310> (8765) the young man <0970> and the maid <01330>; |
| 51:23 | I will also break in pieces <05310> (8765) with thee the shepherd <07462> (8802) and his flock <05739>; and with thee will I break in pieces <05310> (8765) the husbandman <0406> and his yoke of oxen <06776>; and with thee will I break in pieces <05310> (8765) captains <06346> and rulers <05461>. |
| 51:24 | And I will render <07999> (8765) unto Babylon <0894> and to all the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Chaldea <03778> all their evil <07451> that they have done <06213> (8804) in Zion <06726> in your sight <05869>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. |
| 51:25 | Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying <04889> mountain <02022>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, which destroyest <07843> (8688) all the earth <0776>: and I will stretch out <05186> (8804) mine hand <03027> upon thee, and roll thee down <01556> (8773) from the rocks <05553>, and will make <05414> (8804) thee a burnt <08316> mountain <02022>. |
| 51:26 | And they shall not take <03947> (8799) of thee a stone <068> for a corner <06438>, nor a stone <068> for foundations <04146>; but thou shalt be desolate <08077> for ever <05769>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. {desolate...: Heb. everlasting desolations} |
| 51:27 | Set ye up <05375> (8798) a standard <05251> in the land <0776>, blow <08628> (8798) the trumpet <07782> among the nations <01471>, prepare <06942> (8761) the nations <01471> against her, call together <08085> (8685) against her the kingdoms <04467> of Ararat <0780>, Minni <04508>, and Ashchenaz <0813>; appoint <06485> (8798) a captain <02951> against her; cause the horses <05483> to come up <05927> (8685) as the rough <05569> caterpillers <03218>. |
| 51:28 | Prepare <06942> (8761) against her the nations <01471> with the kings <04428> of the Medes <04074>, the captains <06346> thereof, and all the rulers <05461> thereof, and all the land <0776> of his dominion <04475>. |
| 51:29 | And the land <0776> shall tremble <07493> (8799) and sorrow <02342> (8799): for every purpose <04284> of the LORD <03068> shall be performed <06965> (8804) against Babylon <0894>, to make <07760> (8800) the land <0776> of Babylon <0894> a desolation <08047> without an inhabitant <03427> (8802). |
| 51:30 | The mighty men <01368> of Babylon <0894> have forborn <02308> (8804) to fight <03898> (8736), they have remained <03427> (8804) in [their] holds <04679>: their might <01369> hath failed <05405> (8804); they became as women <0802>: they have burned <03341> (8689) her dwellingplaces <04908>; her bars <01280> are broken <07665> (8738). |
| 51:31 | One post <07323> (8801) shall run <07323> (8799) to meet <07125> (8800) another <07323> (8801), and one messenger <05046> (8688) to meet <07125> (8800) another <05046> (8688), to shew <05046> (8687) the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> that his city <05892> is taken <03920> (8738) at [one] end <07097>, |
| 51:32 | And that the passages <04569> are stopped <08610> (8738), and the reeds <098> they have burned <08313> (8804) with fire <0784>, and the men <0582> of war <04421> are affrighted <0926> (8738). |
| 51:33 | For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; The daughter <01323> of Babylon <0894> [is] like a threshingfloor <01637>, [it is] time <06256> to thresh <01869> (8687) her: yet a little while <04592>, and the time <06256> of her harvest <07105> shall come <0935> (8804). {it is...: or, in the time that he thresheth her} |
| 51:34 | Nebuchadrezzar <05019> the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> hath devoured <0398> (8804) me, he hath crushed <02000> (8804) me, he hath made <03322> (8689) me an empty <07385> vessel <03627>, he hath swallowed me up <01104> (8804) like a dragon <08577>, he hath filled <04390> (8765) his belly <03770> with my delicates <05730>, he hath cast me out <01740> (8689). |
| 51:35 | The violence <02555> done to me and to my flesh <07607> [be] upon Babylon <0894>, shall the inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Zion <06726> say <0559> (8799); and my blood <01818> upon the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Chaldea <03778>, shall Jerusalem <03389> say <0559> (8799). {The violence...: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} |
| 51:36 | Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Behold, I will plead <07378> (8801) thy cause <07379>, and take vengeance <05358> (8765) for thee <05360>; and I will dry up <02717> (8689) her sea <03220>, and make her springs <04726> dry <03001> (8689). |
| 51:37 | And Babylon <0894> shall become heaps <01530>, a dwellingplace <04583> for dragons <08577>, an astonishment <08047>, and an hissing <08322>, without an inhabitant <03427> (8802). |
| 51:38 | They shall roar <07580> (8799) together <03162> like lions <03715>: they shall yell <05286> (8804) as lions <0738>' whelps <01484>. {yell: or, shake themselves} |
| 51:39 | In their heat <02527> I will make <07896> (8799) their feasts <04960>, and I will make them drunken <07937> (8689), that they may rejoice <05937> (8799), and sleep <03462> (8804) a perpetual <05769> sleep <08142>, and not wake <06974> (8686), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. |
| 51:40 | I will bring them down <03381> (8686) like lambs <03733> to the slaughter <02873> (8800), like rams <0352> with he goats <06260>. |
| 51:41 | How is Sheshach <08347> taken <03920> (8738)! and how is the praise <08416> of the whole earth <0776> surprised <08610> (8735)! how is Babylon <0894> become an astonishment <08047> among the nations <01471>! |
| 51:42 | The sea <03220> is come up <05927> (8804) upon Babylon <0894>: she is covered <03680> (8738) with the multitude <01995> of the waves <01530> thereof. |
| 51:43 | Her cities <05892> are a desolation <08047>, a dry <06723> land <0776>, and a wilderness <06160>, a land <0776> wherein no man <0376> dwelleth <03427> (8799), neither doth [any] son <01121> of man <0120> pass <05674> (8799) thereby <02004>. |
| 51:44 | And I will punish <06485> (8804) Bel <01078> in Babylon <0894>, and I will bring forth <03318> (8689) out of his mouth <06310> that which he hath swallowed up <01105>: and the nations <01471> shall not flow together <05102> (8799) any more unto him: yea, the wall <02346> of Babylon <0894> shall fall <05307> (8804). |
| 51:45 | My people <05971>, go ye out <03318> (8798) of the midst <08432> of her, and deliver <04422> (8761) ye every man <0376> his soul <05315> from the fierce <02740> anger <0639> of the LORD <03068>. |
| 51:46 | And lest your heart <03824> faint <07401> (8735), and ye fear <03372> (8799) for the rumour <08052> that shall be heard <08085> (8737) in the land <0776>; a rumour <08052> shall both come <0935> (8804) [one] year <08141>, and after <0310> that in [another] year <08141> [shall come] a rumour <08052>, and violence <02555> in the land <0776>, ruler <04910> (8802) against ruler <04910> (8802). {lest: or, let not} |
| 51:47 | Therefore, behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), that I will do judgment <06485> (8804) upon the graven images <06456> of Babylon <0894>: and her whole land <0776> shall be confounded <0954> (8799), and all her slain <02491> shall fall <05307> (8799) in the midst <08432> of her. {do...: Heb. visit upon} |
| 51:48 | Then the heaven <08064> and the earth <0776>, and all that [is] therein, shall sing <07442> (8765) for Babylon <0894>: for the spoilers <07703> (8802) shall come <0935> (8799) unto her from the north <06828>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. |
| 51:49 | As <01571> Babylon <0894> [hath caused] the slain <02491> of Israel <03478> to fall <05307> (8800), so at Babylon <0894> shall fall <05307> (8804) the slain <02491> of all the earth <0776>. {As...: or, Both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain of Israel, and with Babylon, etc} {the earth: or, the country} |
| 51:50 | Ye that have escaped <06405> the sword <02719>, go away <01980> (8798), stand not still <05975> (8799): remember <02142> (8798) the LORD <03068> afar off <07350>, and let Jerusalem <03389> come <05927> (8799) into your mind <03824>. |
| 51:51 | We are confounded <0954> (8804), because we have heard <08085> (8804) reproach <02781>: shame <03639> hath covered <03680> (8765) our faces <06440>: for strangers <02114> (8801) are come <0935> (8804) into the sanctuaries <04720> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004>. |
| 51:52 | Wherefore, behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that I will do judgment <06485> (8804) upon her graven images <06456>: and through all her land <0776> the wounded <02491> shall groan <0602> (8799). |
| 51:53 | Though Babylon <0894> should mount up <05927> (8799) to heaven <08064>, and though she should fortify <01219> (8762) the height <04791> of her strength <05797>, [yet] <0227> from me shall spoilers <07703> (8802) come <0935> (8799) unto her, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. |
| 51:54 | A sound <06963> of a cry <02201> [cometh] from Babylon <0894>, and great <01419> destruction <07667> from the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778>: |
| 51:55 | Because the LORD <03068> hath spoiled <07703> (8802) Babylon <0894>, and destroyed <06> (8765) out of her the great <01419> voice <06963>; when her waves <01530> do roar <01993> (8804) like great <07227> waters <04325>, a noise <07588> of their voice <06963> is uttered <05414> (8738): |
| 51:56 | Because the spoiler <07703> (8802) is come <0935> (8804) upon her, [even] upon Babylon <0894>, and her mighty men <01368> are taken <03920> (8738), every one of their bows <07198> is broken <02865> (8765): for the LORD <03068> God <0410> of recompences <01578> shall surely <07999> (8763) requite <07999> (8762). |
| 51:57 | And I will make drunk <07937> (8689) her princes <08269>, and her wise <02450> [men], her captains <06346>, and her rulers <05461>, and her mighty men <01368>: and they shall sleep <03462> (8804) a perpetual <05769> sleep <08142>, and not wake <06974> (8686), saith <05002> (8803) the King <04428>, whose name <08034> [is] the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. |
| 51:58 | Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; The broad <07342> walls <02346> of Babylon <0894> shall be utterly <06209> (8771) broken <06209> (8698), and her high <01364> gates <08179> shall be burned <03341> (8799) with fire <0784>; and the people <05971> shall labour <03021> (8799) in vain <07385>, and the folk <03816> in <01767> the fire <0784>, and they shall be weary <03286> (8804). {The broad...: or, The walls of broad Babylon} {broken: or, made naked} |
| 51:59 | The word <01697> which Jeremiah <03414> the prophet <05030> commanded <06680> (8765) Seraiah <08304> the son <01121> of Neriah <05374>, the son <01121> of Maaseiah <04271>, when he went <03212> (8800) with Zedekiah <06667> the king <04428> of Judah <03063> into Babylon <0894> in the fourth <07243> year <08141> of his reign <04427> (8800). And [this] Seraiah <08304> [was] a quiet <04496> prince <08269>. {with: or, on the behalf of} {quiet...: or, prince of Menucha, or, chief chamberlain} |
| 51:60 | So Jeremiah <03414> wrote <03789> (8799) in a <0259> book <05612> all the evil <07451> that should come <0935> (8799) upon Babylon <0894>, [even] all these words <01697> that are written <03789> (8803) against Babylon <0894>. |
| 51:61 | And Jeremiah <03414> said <0559> (8799) to Seraiah <08304>, When thou comest <0935> (8800) to Babylon <0894>, and shalt see <07200> (8804), and shalt read <07121> (8804) all these words <01697>; |
| 51:62 | Then shalt thou say <0559> (8804), O LORD <03068>, thou hast spoken <01696> (8765) against this place <04725>, to cut it off <03772> (8687), that none shall remain <03427> (8802) in it, neither man <0120> nor beast <0929>, but that it shall be desolate <08077> for ever <05769>. {desolate: Heb. desolations} |
| 51:63 | And it shall be, when thou hast made an end <03615> (8763) of reading <07121> (8800) this book <05612>, [that] thou shalt bind <07194> (8799) a stone <068> to it, and cast <07993> (8689) it into the midst <08432> of Euphrates <06578>: |
| 51:64 | And thou shalt say <0559> (8804), Thus shall Babylon <0894> sink <08257> (8799), and shall not rise <06965> (8799) from <06440> the evil <07451> that I will bring <0935> (8688) upon her: and they shall be weary <03286> (8804). Thus far [are] the words <01697> of Jeremiah <03414>. |
