  50:1 ¶
THE WORD OF THE LORD WHICH HE SPOKE AGAINST BABYLON. |
|
50:1 ¶
The word°
that°
Yahweh°
spake°°
against°
Babylon°
[and] against°
the land°
of the Chaldeans°
by°
Jeremiah°
the prophet.° |
|
50:2
Proclaim ye among the Gentiles, and cause the tidings to be heard, and suppress [them] not: say ye, Babylon is taken, Belus is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Maerodach is delivered up. |
|
50:2
Declare°°
ye among the nations,°
and publish,°°
and set up°°
a standard;°
publish,°°
[and] conceal°°
not:°
say,°°
Babylon°
is taken,°°
Bel°
is confounded,°°
Merodach°
is broken in pieces;°°°
her idols°
are confounded,°°
her images°
are broken in pieces.°° |
|
50:3
For a nation has come up against her from the north, he shall utterly ravage her land, and there shall be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast. |
|
50:3
For°
out of the north°°
there cometh up°°
a nation°
against°
her, which°
shall make°°°
her land°
desolate,°
and none°
shall°
dwell°°
therein: they shall remove,°°
they shall depart,°°
both man°°
and beast.° |
|
50:4 ¶
In those days, and at that time, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah{gr.Juda} together; they shall proceed, weeping as they go, seeking the Lord their God. |
|
50:4 ¶
In those°
days,°
and in that°
time,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
the children°
of Israel°
shall come,°°
they°
and the children°
of Judah°
together,°
going°°
and weeping:°°
they shall go,°°°
and seek°°
Yahweh°
their Elohim.° |
|
50:5
They shall ask the way till [they come to] Zion{gr.Sion}, for that way shall they set their face; and they shall come and flee for refuge to the Lord their God; for the everlasting covenant shall not be forgotten. |
|
50:5
They shall ask°°
the way°
to Zion°
with their faces°
thitherward,°
[saying], Come,°°
and let us join°°
ourselves°
to°
Yahweh°
in a perpetual°
covenant°
[that] shall not°
be forgotten.°° |
|
50:6
My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds thrust them out, they caused them to wander on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their resting-place. |
|
50:6
My people°
hath been°
lost°°
sheep:°
their shepherds°°
have caused them to go astray,°°
they have turned them away°°°°
[on] the mountains:°
they have gone°°
from mountain°°
to°
hill,°
they have forgotten°°
their restingplace.° |
|
50:7
All that found them consumed them: their enemies said, Let us not leave them alone, because they have sinned against the Lord: he that gathered their fathers [had] a pasture of righteousness. |
|
50:7
All°
that found°°
them have devoured°°
them: and their adversaries°
said,°°
We offend°°
not,°
because°°
they have sinned°°
against Yahweh,°
the habitation°
of justice,°
even Yahweh,°
the hope°
of their fathers.° |
|
50:8
Flee ye out of the midst of Babylon, and from the land of the Chaldeans, and go forth, and be as serpents before sleep. |
|
50:8
Remove°°
out of the midst°°
of Babylon,°
and go forth°°°°
out of the land°°
of the Chaldeans,°
and be°
as the he goats°
before°
the flocks.° |
|
50:9 ¶
For, behold, I stir up against Babylon the gatherings of nations out of the land of the north; and they shall set themselves in array against her: thence shall she be taken, as the dart of an expert warrior shall not return empty. |
|
50:9 ¶
For,°
lo,°
I°
will raise°°
and cause to come up°°
against°
Babylon°
an assembly°
of great°
nations°
from the north°
country:°°
and they shall set themselves in array°°
against her; from thence°°
she shall be taken:°°
their arrows°
[shall be] as of a mighty°
expert°
man;°°°°
none°
shall return°°
in vain.° |
|
50:10
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied. |
|
50:10
And Chaldea°
shall be°
a spoil:°°
all°
that spoil°°°
her shall be satisfied,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
50:11
Because ye rejoiced, and boasted, [while] plundering mine heritage; because ye exulted as calves in the grass, and pushed with the horn as bulls. |
|
50:11
Because°
ye were glad,°°
because°
ye rejoiced,°°
O ye destroyers°°
of mine heritage,°
because°
ye are grown fat°°
as the heifer°
at grass,°°°°
and bellow°°
as bulls;° |
|
50:12
Your mother is greatly ashamed; your mother that bore you for prosperity is confounded: [she is] the last of the nations, desolate, |
|
50:12
Your mother°
shall be sore°
confounded;°°
she that bare°°
you shall be ashamed:°°
behold,°
the hindermost°
of the nations°
[shall be] a wilderness,°
a dry land,°
and a desert.° |
|
50:13
by reason of the Lord's anger: it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be all a desolation; and every one that passes through Babylon shall scowl, and they shall hiss at all her plague. |
|
50:13
Because of the wrath°°
of Yahweh°
it shall not°
be inhabited,°°
but it shall be°
wholly°
desolate:°
every one°
that goeth°°
by°
Babylon°
shall be astonished,°°
and hiss°°
at°
all°
her plagues.° |
|
50:14
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare not your arrows, |
|
50:14
Put yourselves in array°°
against°
Babylon°
round about:°
all°
ye that bend°°
the bow,°
shoot°°
at°
her, spare°°
no°
arrows:°
for°
she hath sinned°°
against Yahweh.° |
|
50:15
and prevail against her: her hands are weakened, her bulwarks are fallen, and her wall is broken down: for it is vengeance from God: take vengeance upon her; as she has done, do to her. |
|
50:15
Shout°°
against°
her round about:°
she hath given°°
her hand:°
her foundations°
are fallen,°°
her walls°
are thrown down:°°
for°
it°
[is] the vengeance°
of Yahweh:°
take vengeance°°
upon her; as°
she hath done,°°
do°°
unto her. |
|
50:16
Utterly destroy seed out of Babylon, [and] him that holds a sickle in time of harvest: for fear of the Grecian sword, they shall return every one to his people, and every one shall flee to his own land. |
|
50:16
Cut off°°
the sower°°
from Babylon,°°
and him that handleth°°
the sickle°
in the time°
of harvest:°
for fear°°
of the oppressing°°
sword°
they shall turn°°
every one°
to°
his people,°
and they shall flee°°
every one°
to his own land.° |
|
50:17 ¶
Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have driven him out: the king of Assyria firsts devoured him, and afterward this king of Babylon [has gnawed] his bones. |
|
50:17 ¶
Israel°
[is] a scattered°°
sheep;°
the lions°
have driven [him] away:°°
first°
the king°
of Assyria°
hath devoured°°
him; and last°
this°
Nebuchadrezzar°
king°
of Babylon°
hath broken his bones.°° |
|
50:18
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] take vengeance on the king of Babylon, and upon his land, as I took vengeance on the king of Assyria. |
|
50:18
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
the Elohim°
of Israel;°
Behold,°
I will punish°°°
the king°
of Babylon°
and his land,°
as°
I have punished°°°
the king°
of Assyria.° |
|
50:19
And I will restore Israel to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and on mount Ephraim and in Gilead{gr.Galaad}, and his soul shall be satisfied. |
|
50:19
And I will bring°°°
Israel°
again°°
to°
his habitation,°
and he shall feed°°
on Carmel°
and Bashan,°
and his soul°
shall be satisfied°°
upon mount°
Ephraim°
and Gilead.° |
|
50:20
In those days, and at that time, they shall seek for the iniquity of Israel, and there shall be none; and for the sins of Judah{gr.Juda}, and they shall not be found: for I will be merciful to them that are left |
|
50:20
In those°
days,°
and in that°
time,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°°
the iniquity°
of Israel°
shall be sought for,°°
and [there shall be] none;°
and the sins°
of Judah,°
and they shall not°
be found:°°
for°
I will pardon°°
them whom°
I reserve.°° |
|
50:21 ¶
on the land, saith the Lord. Go up against it roughly, and against them that dwell on it: avenge, O sword, and destroy utterly, saith the Lord, and do according to all that I command thee. |
|
50:21 ¶
Go up°°
against°
the land°
of Merathaim,°
[even] against°
it, and against°
the inhabitants°°
of Pekod:°
waste°°
and utterly destroy°°
after°
them, saith°°
Yahweh,°
and do°°
according to all°
that°
I have commanded°°
thee. |
|
50:22
A sound of war, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans! |
|
50:22
A sound°
of battle°
[is] in the land,°
and of great°
destruction.° |
|
50:23
How is the hammer of the whole earth broken and crushed! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! |
|
50:23
How°
is the hammer°
of the whole°
earth°
cut asunder°°
and broken!°°
how°
is Babylon°
become°
a desolation°
among the nations!° |
|
50:24
They shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not know it, Babylon, that thou wilt even be taken captive: thou art found and taken, because thou didst resist the Lord. |
|
50:24
I have laid a snare°°
for thee, and thou art also°
taken,°°
O Babylon,°
and thou°
wast not°
aware:°°
thou art found,°°
and also°
caught,°°
because°
thou hast striven°°
against Yahweh.° |
|
50:25
The Lord has opened his treasury, and brought forth the weapons of his anger: for the Lord God [has] a work in the land of the Chaldeans. |
|
50:25
Yahweh°
hath opened°°°
his armoury,°
and hath brought forth°°°
the weapons°
of his indignation:°
for°
this°
[is] the work°
of Adonai°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
in the land°
of the Chaldeans.° |
|
50:26
For her times are come: open ye her storehouses: search her as a cave, and utterly destroy her: let there be no remnant of her. |
|
50:26
Come°°
against her from the utmost border,°°
open°°
her storehouses:°
cast her up°°
as heaps,°
and destroy°
her utterly:°°
let nothing°
of her be°
left.° |
|
50:27
Dry ye up all her fruits, and let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, and the time of their retribution. |
|
50:27
Slay°°
all°
her bullocks;°
let them go down°°
to the slaughter:°
woe°
unto°
them! for°
their day°
is come,°°
the time°
of their visitation.° |
|
50:28
A voice of men fleeing and escaping from the land of Babylon, to declare to Zion{gr.Sion} the vengeance [that comes] from the Lord our God. |
|
50:28
The voice°
of them that flee°°
and escape°
out°
of the land°°
of Babylon,°
to declare°°
in Zion°°
the vengeance°
of Yahweh°
our Elohim,°
the vengeance°
of his temple.° |
|
50:29
Summon many against Babylon, [even] every one that bends the bow: camp against her round about; let no one of her [people] escape: render to her according to her works; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has resisted the Lord, the Holy God of Israel. |
|
50:29
Call together°°
the archers°
against°
Babylon:°
all°
ye that bend°°
the bow,°
camp°°
against°
it round about;°
let°
none°
thereof escape:°
recompense°°
her according to her work;°
according to all°
that°
she hath done,°°
do°°
unto her: for°
she hath been proud°°
against°
Yahweh,°
against°
the Holy One°
of Israel.° |
|
50:30
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her warriors shall be cast down, saith the Lord. |
|
50:30
Therefore°
shall her young men°
fall°°
in the streets,°
and all°
her men°°
of war°
shall be cut off°°
in that°
day,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
50:31
Behold, I am against thee the haughty one, saith the Lord: for thy day is come, and the time of thy retribution. |
|
50:31
Behold,°
I [am] against°
thee, [O thou] most proud,°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth:°
for°
thy day°
is come,°°
the time°
[that] I will visit°°
thee. |
|
50:32
And thy pride shall fail, and fall, and there shall be no one to set it up again: and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all things round about her. |
|
50:32
And the most proud°
shall stumble°°
and fall,°°
and none°
shall raise him up:°°
and I will kindle°°
a fire°
in his cities,°
and it shall devour°°
all°
round about°
him. |
|
50:33 ¶
Thus saith the Lord; The children of Israel and the children of Judah{gr.Juda} have been oppressed: all they that have taken them captive have oppressed them together; for they would not let them go. |
|
50:33 ¶
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth;°
The children°
of Israel°
and the children°
of Judah°
[were] oppressed°°
together:°
and all°
that took them captives°°
held them fast;°°
they refused°°
to let them go.°° |
|
50:34
But their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is his name: he will enter into judgment with his adversaries, that he may destroy the earth; |
|
50:34
Their Redeemer°°
[is] strong;°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
[is] his name:°
he shall throughly°°
plead°°°
their cause,°
that°
he may give rest°°°
to the land,°
and disquiet°°
the inhabitants°°
of Babylon.° |
|
50:35 ¶
and he will sharpen a sword against the Chaldeans, and against the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her nobles and upon her wise men; |
|
50:35 ¶
A sword°
[is] upon°
the Chaldeans,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
and upon°
the inhabitants°°
of Babylon,°
and upon°
her princes,°
and upon°
her wise°
[men]. |
|
50:36
a sword upon her warriors, and they shall be weakened: a sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots: |
|
50:36
A sword°
[is] upon°
the liars;°
and they shall dote:°°
a sword°
[is] upon°
her mighty men;°
and they shall be dismayed.°° |
|
50:37
a sword upon their warriors and upon the mixed people in the midst of her; and they shall be as women: a sword upon the treasures, and they shall be scattered upon her water, |
|
50:37
A sword°
[is] upon°
their horses,°
and upon°
their chariots,°
and upon°
all°
the mingled people°°
that°
[are] in the midst°
of her; and they shall become°
as women:°
a sword°
[is] upon°
her treasures;°
and they shall be robbed.°° |
|
50:38
and they shall be ashamed: for it is a land of graven [images]; and in the islands, where they boasted. |
|
50:38
A drought°
[is] upon°
her waters;°
and they shall be dried up:°°
for°
it [is] the land°
of graven images,°
and they°
are mad°°
upon [their] idols.° |
|
50:39
Therefore shall idols dwell in the islands, and the young of monsters shall dwell in it: it shall not be inhabited any more for ever. |
|
50:39
Therefore°
the wild beasts of the desert°
with°
the wild beasts of the islands°
shall dwell°°
[there], and the owls°°
shall dwell°°
therein: and it shall be no°
more°
inhabited°°
for ever;°
neither°
shall it be dwelt°°
in°
from°
generation°
to generation.° |
|
50:40
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah{gr.Gomorrha}, and the cities bordering upon them, saith the Lord: no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn there. |
|
50:40
As Elohim°
overthrew°°
Sodom°
and Gomorrah°
and the neighbour°
[cities] thereof, saith°°
Yahweh;°
[so] shall no°
man°
abide°°
there,°
neither°
shall any son°
of man°
dwell°°
therein. |
|
50:41
Behold, a people comes from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the end of the earth; holding bow and dagger: |
|
50:41
Behold,°
a people°
shall come°°
from the north,°°
and a great°
nation,°
and many°
kings°
shall be raised up°°
from the coasts°°
of the earth.° |
|
50:42
[the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy: their voices shall sound as the sea, they shall ride upon horses, prepared for war, like fire, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. |
|
50:42
They shall hold°°
the bow°
and the lance:°
they°
[are] cruel,°
and will not°
shew mercy:°°
their voice°
shall roar°°
like the sea,°
and they shall ride°°
upon°
horses,°
[every one] put in array,°°
like a man°
to the battle,°
against°
thee, O daughter°
of Babylon.° |
|
50:43
The king of Babylon heard the sound of them, and his hands were enfeebled: anguish overcame him, pangs as of a woman in travail. |
|
50:43
The king°
of Babylon°
hath heard°°°
the report°
of them, and his hands°
waxed feeble:°°
anguish°
took hold°°
of him, [and] pangs°
as of a woman in travail.°° |
|
50:44
Behold, he shall come up as a lion from Jordan to Gaethan; for I will speedily drive them from her, and I will set all the youths against her: for who is like me? and who will resist me? and who is this shepherd who will stand before me? |
|
50:44
Behold,°
he shall come up°°
like a lion°
from the swelling°°
of Jordan°
unto°
the habitation°
of the strong:°
but°
I will make°°
them suddenly°°
run away°°°°
from°°
her: and who°
[is] a chosen°°
[man, that] I may appoint°°
over°
her? for°
who°
[is] like me?°
and who°
will appoint me the time?°°
and who°
[is] that°
shepherd°°
that°
will stand°°
before°
me? |
|
50:45
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he has taken against Babylon; and his devices, which he has devised upon the Chaldeans inhabiting [it]: surely lambs of their flock shall be destroyed: surely pasture shall be cut off from them. |
|
50:45
Therefore°
hear°°
ye the counsel°
of Yahweh,°
that°
he hath taken°°
against°
Babylon;°
and his purposes,°
that°
he hath purposed°°
against°
the land°
of the Chaldeans:°
Surely°°
the least°
of the flock°
shall draw them out:°°
surely°°
he shall make [their] habitation°
desolate°°
with°
them. |
|
50:46
For at the sound of the taking of Babylon the earth shall quake, and a cry shall be heard among the nations. |
|
50:46
At the noise°°
of the taking°°
of Babylon°
the earth°
is moved,°°
and the cry°
is heard°°
among the nations.° |
