Jeremiah 50 (kjv)

The word^H1697 that the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696 against Babylon^H894 and against the land^H776 of the Chaldeans^H3778 by^H3027 Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030.²Declare^H5046 ye among the nations^H1471, and publish^H8085, and set up^H5375 a standard^H5251; publish^H8085, and conceal^H3582 not: say^H559, Babylon^H894 is taken^H3920, Bel^H1078 is confounded^H3001, Merodach^H4781 is broken in pieces^H2865; her idols^H6091 are confounded^H3001, her images^H1544 are broken in pieces^H2865.³For out of the north^H6828 there cometh up^H5927 a nation^H1471 against her, which shall make^H7896 her land^H776 desolate^H8047, and none shall dwell^H3427 therein: they shall remove^H5110, they shall depart^H1980, both man^H120 and beast^H929.⁴In those days^H3117, and in that time^H6256, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 shall come^H935, they and the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 together^H3162, going^H1980 and weeping^H1058: they shall go^H3212, and seek^H1245 the LORD^H3068 their God^H430.⁵They shall ask^H7592 the way^H1870 to Zion^H6726 with their faces^H6440 thitherward^H2008, saying, Come^H935, and let us join^H3867 ourselves to the LORD^H3068 in a perpetual^H5769 covenant^H1285 that shall not be forgotten^H7911.⁶My people^H5971 hath been lost^H6 sheep^H6629: their shepherds^H7462 have caused them to go astray^H8582, they have turned them away^{H7725 H7726} on the mountains^H2022: they have gone^H1980 from mountain^H2022 to hill^H1389, they have forgotten^H7911 their restingplace^H7258.⁷All that found^H4672 them have devoured^H398 them: and their adversaries^H6862 said^H559, We offend^H816 not, because they have sinned^H2398 against the LORD^H3068, the habitation^H5116 of justice^H6664, even the LORD^H3068, the hope^H4723 of their fathers^H1.⁸Remove^H5110 out of the midst^H8432 of Babylon^H894, and go forth^{H3318 H3318} out of the land^H776 of the Chaldeans^H3778, and be as the he goats^H6260 before^H6440 the flocks^H6629.⁹For, lo, I will raise^H5782 and cause to come up^H5927 against Babylon^H894 an assembly^H6951 of great^H1419 nations^H1471 from the north^H6828 country^H776: and they shall set themselves in array^H6186 against her; from thence she shall be taken^H3920: their arrows^H2671 shall be as of a mighty^H1368 expert man^{H7919 H7921}; none shall return^H7725 in vain^H7387.¹⁰And Chaldea^H3778 shall be a spoil^H7998: all that spoil^H7997 her shall be satisfied^H7646, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.¹¹Because ye were glad^H8055, because ye rejoiced^H5937, O ye destroyers^H8154 of mine heritage^H5159, because ye are grown fat^H6335 as the heifer^H5697 at grass^{H1877 H1758}, and bellow^H6670 as bulls^H47;¹²Your mother^H517 shall be sore^H3966 confounded^H954; she that bare^H3205 you shall be ashamed^H2659: behold, the hindermost^H319 of the nations^H1471 shall be a wilderness^H4057, a dry land^H6723, and a desert^H6160.¹³Because of the wrath^H7110 of the LORD^H3068 it shall not be inhabited^H3427, but it shall be wholly desolate^H8077: every one that goeth^H5674 by Babylon^H894 shall be astonished^H8074, and hiss^H8319 at all her plagues^H4347.¹⁴Put yourselves in array^H6186 against Babylon^H894 round about^H5439: all ye that bend^H1869 the bow^H7198, shoot^H3034 at her, spare^H2550 no arrows^H2671: for she hath sinned^H2398 against the LORD^H3068.¹⁵Shout^H7321 against her round about^H5439: she hath given^H5414 her hand^H3027: her foundations^H803 are fallen^H5307, her walls^H2346 are thrown down^H2040: for it is the vengeance^H5360 of the LORD^H3068: take vengeance^H5358 upon her; as she hath done^H6213, do^H6213 unto her.¹⁶Cut off^H3772 the sower^H2232 from Babylon^H894, and him that handleth^H8610 the sickle^H4038 in the time^H6256 of harvest^H7105: for fear^H6440 of the oppressing^H3238 sword^H2719 they shall turn^H6437 every one^H376 to his people^H5971, and they shall flee^H5127 every one^H376 to his own land^H776.¹⁷Israel^H3478 is a scattered^H6340 sheep^H7716; the lions^H738 have driven him away^H5080: first^H7223 the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804 hath devoured^H398 him; and last^H314 this Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 hath broken his bones^H6105.¹⁸Therefore thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will punish^H6485 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 and his land^H776, as I have punished^H6485 the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804.¹⁹And I will bring^H7725 Israel^H3478 again^H7725 to his habitation^H5116, and he shall feed^H7462 on Carmel^H3760 and Bashan^H1316, and his soul^H5315 shall be satisfied^H7646 upon mount^H2022 Ephraim^H669 and Gilead^H1568.²⁰In those days^H3117, and in that time^H6256, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, the iniquity^H5771 of Israel^H3478 shall be sought for^H1245, and there shall be none; and the sins^H2403 of Judah^H3063, and they shall not be found^H4672: for I will pardon^H5545 them whom I reserve^H7604.²¹Go up^H5927 against the land^H776 of Merathaim^H4850, even against it, and against the inhabitants^H3427 of Pekod^H6489: waste^H2717 and utterly destroy^H2763 after^H310 them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and do^H6213 according to all that I have commanded^H6680 thee.²²A sound^H6963 of battle^H4421 is in the land^H776, and of great^H1419 destruction^H7667.²³How is the hammer^H6360 of the whole earth^H776 cut asunder^H1438 and broken^H7665 ! how is Babylon^H894 become a desolation^H8047 among the nations^H1471!²⁴I have laid a snare^H3369 for thee, and thou art also taken^H3920, O Babylon^H894, and thou wast not aware^H3045: thou art found^H4672, and also caught^H8610, because thou hast striven^H1624 against the LORD^H3068.²⁵The LORD^H3068 hath opened^H6605 his armoury^H214, and hath brought forth^H3318 the weapons^H3627 of his indignation^H2195: for this is the work^H4399 of the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 of hosts^H6635 in the land^H776 of the Chaldeans^H3778.²⁶Come^H935 against her from the utmost border^H7093, open^H6605 her storehouses^H3965: cast her up^H5549 as heaps^H6194, and destroy her utterly^H2763: let nothing of her be left^H7611.²⁷Slay^H2717 all her bullocks^H6499; let them go down^H3381 to the slaughter^H2874: woe^H1945 unto them! for their day^H3117 is come^H935, the time^H6256 of their visitation^H6486.²⁸The voice^H6963 of them that flee^H5127 and escape out^H6405 of the land^H776 of Babylon^H894, to declare^H5046 in Zion^H6726 the vengeance^H5360 of the LORD^H3068 our God^H430, the vengeance^H5360 of his temple^H1964.²⁹Call together^H8085 the archers^H7228 against Babylon^H894: all ye that bend^H1869 the bow^H7198, camp^H2583 against it round about^H5439; let none thereof escape^H6413: recompense^H7999 her according to her work^H6467; according to all that she hath done^H6213, do^H6213 unto her: for she hath been proud^H2102 against the LORD^H3068, against the Holy One^H6918 of Israel^H3478.³⁰Therefore shall her young men^H970 fall^H5307 in the streets^H7339, and all her men^H582 of war^H4421 shall be cut off^H1826 in that day^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.³¹Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud^H2087, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 of hosts^H6635: for thy day^H3117 is come^H935, the time^H6256 that I will visit^H6485 thee.³²And the most proud^H2087 shall stumble^H3782 and fall^H5307, and none shall raise him up^H6965: and I will kindle^H3341 a fire^H784 in his cities^H5892, and it shall devour^H398 all round about^H5439 him.³³Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; The children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 and the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 were oppressed^H6231 together^H3162: and all that took them captives^H7617 held them fast^H2388; they refused^H3985 to let them go^H7971.³⁴Their Redeemer^H1350 is strong^H2389; the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 is his name^H8034: he shall throughly^H7378 plead^H7378 their cause^H7379, that he may give rest^H7280 to the land^H776, and disquiet^H7264 the inhabitants^H3427 of Babylon^H894.³⁵A sword^H2719 is upon the Chaldeans^H3778, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and upon the inhabitants^H3427 of Babylon^H894, and upon her princes^H8269, and upon her wise^H2450 men.³⁶A sword^H2719 is upon the liars^H907; and they shall dote^H2973: a sword^H2719 is upon her mighty men^H1368; and they shall be dismayed^H2865.³⁷A sword^H2719 is upon their horses^H5483, and upon their chariots^H7393, and upon all the mingled people^H6153 that are in the midst^H8432 of her; and they shall become as women^H802: a sword^H2719 is upon her treasures^H214; and they shall be robbed^H962.³⁸A drought^H2721 is upon her waters^H4325; and they shall be dried up^H3001: for it is the land^H776 of graven images^H6456, and they are mad^H1984 upon their idols^H367.³⁹Therefore the wild beasts of the desert^H6728 with the wild beasts of the islands^H338 shall dwell^H3427 there, and the owls^{H1323 H3284} shall dwell^H3427 therein: and it shall be no more inhabited^H3427 for ever^H5331; neither shall it be dwelt^H7931 in from generation^H1755 to generation^H1755.⁴⁰As God^H430 overthrew^H4114 Sodom^H5467 and Gomorrah^H6017 and the neighbour^H7934 cities thereof, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; so shall no man^H376 abide^H3427 there, neither shall any son^H1121 of man^H120 dwell^H1481 therein.⁴¹Behold, a people^H5971 shall come^H935 from the north^H6828, and a great^H1419 nation^H1471, and many^H7227 kings^H4428 shall be raised up^H5782 from the coasts^H3411 of the earth^H776.⁴²They shall hold^H2388 the bow^H7198 and the lance^H3591: they are cruel^H394, and will not shew mercy^H7355: their voice^H6963 shall roar^H1993 like the sea^H3220, and they shall ride^H7392 upon horses^H5483, every one put in array^H6186, like a man^H376 to the battle^H4421, against thee, O daughter^H1323 of Babylon^H894.⁴³The king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 hath heard^H8085 the report^H8088 of them, and his hands^H3027 waxed feeble^H7503: anguish^H6869 took hold^H2388 of him, and pangs^H2427 as of a woman in travail^H3205.⁴⁴Behold, he shall come up^H5927 like a lion^H738 from the swelling^H1347 of Jordan^H3383 unto the habitation^H5116 of the strong^H386: but I will make^H7323 them suddenly^H7280 run away^{H7323 H7323} from her: and who is a chosen^H977 man, that I may appoint^H6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time^H3259? and who is that shepherd^H7462 that will stand^H5975 before^H6440 me?⁴⁵Therefore hear^H8085 ye the counsel^H6098 of the LORD^H3068, that he hath taken^H3289 against Babylon^H894; and his purposes^H4284, that he hath purposed^H2803 against the land^H776 of the Chaldeans^H3778: Surely the least^H6810 of the flock^H6629 shall draw them out^H5498: surely he shall make their habitation^H5116 desolate^H8074 with them.⁴⁶At the noise^H6963 of the taking^H8610 of Babylon^H894 the earth^H776 is moved^H7493, and the cry^H2201 is heard^H8085 among the nations^H1471.
