  51:1 ¶
Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I stir up against Babylon, and against the Chaldeans dwelling therein, a deadly burning wind. |
|
51:1 ¶
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Behold,°
I will raise up°°
against°
Babylon,°
and against°
them that dwell°°
in the midst°
of them that rise up°°
against me, a destroying°°
wind;° |
|
51:2
And I will send forth against Babylon spoilers, and they shall spoil her, and shall ravage her land. Woe to Babylon round about [her] in the day of her affliction. |
|
51:2
And will send°°
unto Babylon°
fanners,°°
that shall fan°°
her, and shall empty°°°
her land:°
for°
in the day°
of trouble°
they shall be°
against°
her round about.°° |
|
51:3
Let the archer bend his bow, and him that has armour put it on: and spare ye not her young men, but destroy ye all her host. |
|
51:3
Against°
[him that] bendeth°°
let the archer°°
bend°°
his bow,°
and against°
[him that] lifteth himself up°°
in his brigandine:°
and spare°°
ye not°
her young men;°
destroy ye utterly°°
all°
her host.° |
|
51:4
And slain men shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and [men] pierced through shall fall without it. |
|
51:4
Thus the slain°
shall fall°°
in the land°
of the Chaldeans,°
and [they that are] thrust through°°
in her streets.° |
|
51:5
For Israel and Judah{gr.Juda} have not been forsaken of their God, of the Lord Almighty; whereas their land was filled with iniquity against the holy things of Israel. |
|
51:5
For°
Israel°
[hath] not°
[been] forsaken,°
nor Judah°
of his Elohim,°°
of Yahweh°°
Sabaoth;°
though°
their land°
was filled°°
with sin°
against the Holy One°°
of Israel.° |
|
51:6
Flee ye out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every one his soul: and be not overthrown in her iniquity; for it is the time of her retribution from the Lord; he is rendering to her a recompence. |
|
51:6
Flee°
out°°
of the midst°°
of Babylon,°
and deliver°°
every man°
his soul:°
be not°
cut off°°
in her iniquity;°
for°
this°
[is] the time°
of Yahweh's°
vengeance;°
he will render°°
unto her a recompence.° |
|
51:7
Babylon has been a golden cup in the Lord's hand, causing all the earth to be drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore they were shaken. |
|
51:7
Babylon°
[hath been] a golden°
cup°
in Yahweh's°
hand,°
that made all°
the earth°
drunken:°°
the nations°
have drunken°°
of her wine;°°
therefore°°
the nations°
are mad.°° |
|
51:8
And Babylon is fallen suddenly, and is broken to pieces: lament for her; take balm for her deadly wound, if by any means she may be healed. |
|
51:8
Babylon°
is suddenly°
fallen°°
and destroyed:°°
howl°°
for°
her; take°°
balm°
for her pain,°
if so be°
she may be healed.°° |
|
51:9
We tried to heal Babylon, but she was not healed: let us forsake her, and depart every one to his own country: for her judgment has reached to the heaven, it has mounted up to the stars. |
|
51:9
We would have healed°°°
Babylon,°
but she is not°
healed:°°
forsake°°
her, and let us go°°°
every one°
into his own country:°
for°
her judgment°
reacheth°°
unto°
heaven,°
and is lifted up°°
[even] to°
the skies.° |
|
51:10
The Lord has brought forth his judgment: come, and let us declare in Zion{gr.Sion} the works of the Lord our God. |
|
51:10
Yahweh°
hath brought forth°°°
our righteousness:°
come,°°
and let us declare°°
in Zion°°
the work°
of Yahweh°
our Elohim.° |
|
51:11
Prepare the arrows; fill the quivers: the Lord has stirred up the spirit of the king of the Medes: for his wrath is against Babylon, to destroy it utterly; for it is the Lord's vengeance, it is the vengeance of his people. |
|
51:11
Make bright°°
the arrows;°
gather°°
the shields:°
Yahweh°
hath raised up°°°
the spirit°
of the kings°
of the Medes:°
for°
his device°
[is] against°
Babylon,°
to destroy°°
it; because°
it°
[is] the vengeance°
of Yahweh,°
the vengeance°
of his temple.° |
|
51:12
Lift up a standard on the walls of Babylon, prepare the quivers, rouse the guards, prepare the weapons: for the Lord has taken [the work] in hand, and will execute what he has spoken against the inhabitants of Babylon, |
|
51:12
Set up°°
the standard°
upon°
the walls°
of Babylon,°
make the watch°
strong,°°
set up°°
the watchmen,°°
prepare°°
the ambushes:°°
for°
Yahweh°
hath both°
devised°°
and°
done°°°
that which°
he spake°°
against°
the inhabitants°°
of Babylon.° |
|
51:13
dwelling on many waters, and amidst the abundance of her treasures; thine end is come verily into thy bowels. |
|
51:13
O thou that dwellest°°°°
upon°
many°
waters,°
abundant°
in treasures,°
thine end°
is come,°°
[and] the measure°
of thy covetousness.° |
|
51:14
For the Lord has sworn by his arm, [saying], I will fill thee with men as with locusts; and they that come down shall cry against thee. |
|
51:14
Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
hath sworn°°
by himself,°
[saying], Surely°°
I will fill°°
thee with men,°
as with caterpillers;°
and they shall lift up°°
a shout°
against°
thee. |
|
51:15
The Lord made the earth by his power, preparing the world by his wisdom, by his understanding he stretched out the heaven. |
|
51:15
He hath made°°
the earth°
by his power,°
he hath established°°
the world°
by his wisdom,°
and hath stretched out°°
the heaven°
by his understanding.° |
|
51:16
At [his] voice he makes a sound of water in the heaven, and brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth; he makes lightnings for rain, and brings light out of his treasures. |
|
51:16
When he uttereth°°
[his] voice,°
[there is] a multitude°
of waters°
in the heavens;°
and he causeth the vapours°
to ascend°°
from the ends°°
of the earth:°
he maketh°°
lightnings°
with rain,°
and bringeth forth°°
the wind°
out of his treasures.°° |
|
51:17
Every man has completely lost understanding; every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven [images]: for they have cast false [gods], there is no breath in them. |
|
51:17
Every°
man°
is brutish°°
by [his] knowledge;°°
every°
founder°°
is confounded°°
by the graven image:°°
for°
his molten image°
[is] falsehood,°
and [there is] no°
breath°
in them. |
|
51:18
They are vain works, objects of scorn; in the time of their visitation they shall perish. |
|
51:18
They°
[are] vanity,°
the work°
of errors:°
in the time°
of their visitation°
they shall perish.°° |
|
51:19
Not such is Jacob's portion; for he that formed all things, he is his inheritance; the Lord is his name. |
|
51:19
The portion°
of Jacob°
[is] not°
like them;°
for°
he°
[is] the former°°
of all things:°
and [Israel is] the rod°
of his inheritance:°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
[is] his name.° |
|
51:20
Thou scatterest for me the weapons of war: and I will scatter nations by thee, and will destroy kings by means of thee. |
|
51:20
Thou°
[art] my battle axe°
[and] weapons°
of war:°
for with thee will I break in pieces°°
the nations,°
and with thee will I destroy°°
kingdoms;° |
|
51:21
And by thee I will scatter the horse and his rider; and by thee I will scatter chariots and them that ride in them. |
|
51:21
And with thee will I break in pieces°°
the horse°
and his rider;°°
and with thee will I break in pieces°°
the chariot°
and his rider;°° |
|
51:22
And by thee I will scatter youth and maid; and by thee I will scatter man and woman. |
|
51:22
With thee also will I break in pieces°°
man°
and woman;°
and with thee will I break in pieces°°
old°
and young;°
and with thee will I break in pieces°°
the young man°
and the maid;° |
|
51:23
And by thee I will scatter the shepherd and his flock; and by thee I will scatter the husbandman and his husbandry; and by thee I will scatter leaders and the captains. |
|
51:23
I will also break in pieces°°
with thee the shepherd°°
and his flock;°
and with thee will I break in pieces°°
the husbandman°
and his yoke of oxen;°
and with thee will I break in pieces°°
captains°
and rulers.° |
|
51:24
And I will recompense to Babylon and to all the Chaldeans that dwell [there] all their mischiefs that they have done to Zion{gr.Sion} before your eyes, saith the Lord. |
|
51:24
And I will render°°
unto Babylon°
and to all°
the inhabitants°°
of Chaldea°°
all°
their evil°
that°
they have done°°
in Zion°
in your sight,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
51:25
Behold, I am against thee, the ruined mountain, that destroys the whole earth; and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will roll thee down upon the rocks, and will make thee as a burnt mountain. |
|
51:25
Behold,°
I [am] against°
thee, O destroying°
mountain,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
which destroyest°°°
all°
the earth:°
and I will stretch out°°°
mine hand°
upon°
thee, and roll thee down°°
from°
the rocks,°
and will make°°
thee a burnt°
mountain.° |
|
51:26
And they shall not take from thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for a foundation: for thou shalt be a desolation for ever, saith the Lord. |
|
51:26
And they shall not°
take°°
of°
thee a stone°
for a corner,°
nor a stone°
for foundations;°
but°
thou shalt be°
desolate°
for ever,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
51:27
Lift up a standard in the land, sound the trumpet among the nations, consecrate the nations against her, raise up kings against her by me, and [that] for the people of Achanaz; set against her engines of war; bring up against her horses as a multitude of locusts. |
|
51:27
Set ye up°°
a standard°
in the land,°
blow°°
the trumpet°
among the nations,°
prepare°°
the nations°
against°
her, call together°°
against°
her the kingdoms°
of Ararat,°
Minni,°
and Ashchenaz;°
appoint°°
a captain°
against°
her; cause the horses°
to come up°°
as the rough°
caterpillers.° |
|
51:28
Bring up nations against her, [even] the king of the Medes and of the whole earth, his rulers, and all his captains. |
|
51:28
Prepare°°
against°
her the nations°
with°
the kings°
of the Medes,°°
the captains°
thereof, and all°
the rulers°
thereof, and all°
the land°
of his dominion.° |
|
51:29
The earth has quaked and been troubled, because the purpose of the Lord has risen up against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, and uninhabitable. |
|
51:29
And the land°
shall tremble°°
and sorrow:°°
for°
every purpose°
of Yahweh°
shall be performed°°
against°
Babylon,°
to make°°°
the land°
of Babylon°
a desolation°
without°°
an inhabitant.°° |
|
51:30
The warrior of Babylon has failed to fight; they shall sit there in the siege; their power is broken; they are become like women; her tabernacles have been set on fire; her bars are broken. |
|
51:30
The mighty men°
of Babylon°
have forborn°°
to fight,°°
they have remained°°
in [their] holds:°
their might°
hath failed;°°
they became°
as women:°
they have burned°°
her dwellingplaces;°
her bars°
are broken.°° |
|
51:31
One shall rush, running to meet [another] runner, and one [shall go] with tidings to meet [another] with tidings, to bring tidings to the king of Babylon, that his city is taken. |
|
51:31
One post°°
shall run°°
to meet°°
another,°°
and one messenger°°
to meet°°
another,°°
to shew°°
the king°
of Babylon°
that°
his city°
is taken°°
at [one] end,°° |
|
51:32
At the end of his passages they were taken, and his cisterns they have burnt with fire, and his warriors are going forth. |
|
51:32
And that the passages°
are stopped,°°
and the reeds°
they have burned°°
with fire,°
and the men°°
of war°
are affrighted.°° |
|
51:33
For thus saith the Lord, The houses of the king of Babylon shall be threshed as a floor in the season; yet a little while, and her harvest shall come. |
|
51:33
For°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
the Elohim°
of Israel;°
The daughter°
of Babylon°
[is] like a threshingfloor,°
[it is] time°
to thresh°°
her: yet°
a little while,°
and the time°
of her harvest°
shall come.°° |
|
51:34
He has devoured me, he has torn me asunder, airy darkness has come upon me; Nebuchadnezzar{gr.Nabuchodonosor} king of Babylon has swallowed me up, as a dragon has he filled his belly with my delicacies. |
|
51:34
Nebuchadrezzar°
the king°
of Babylon°
hath devoured°°
me, he hath crushed°°
me, he hath made°°
me an empty°
vessel,°
he hath swallowed me up°°
like a dragon,°
he hath filled°°
his belly°
with my delicates,°°
he hath cast me out.°° |
|
51:35
My troubles and my distresses have driven me out into Babylon, shall she that dwells in Zion{gr.Sion} say; and my blood [shall be] upon the Chaldeans dwelling [there], shall Jerusalem say. |
|
51:35
The violence°
done to me and to my flesh°
[be] upon°
Babylon,°
shall the inhabitant°°
of Zion°
say;°°
and my blood°
upon°
the inhabitants°°
of Chaldea,°
shall Jerusalem°
say.°° |
|
51:36
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will judge thine adversary, and I will execute vengeance for thee; and I will waste her sea, and dry up her fountain. |
|
51:36
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Behold,°
I will plead°°°
thy cause,°
and take vengeance°°
for thee;°°°
and I will dry up°°°
her sea,°
and make°
her springs°
dry.°° |
|
51:37
And Babylon shall be a desolation, and shall not be inhabited. |
|
51:37
And Babylon°
shall become°
heaps,°
a dwellingplace°
for dragons,°
an astonishment,°
and an hissing,°
without°°
an inhabitant.°° |
|
51:38
For they rose up together as lions, and as lions' whelps. |
|
51:38
They shall roar°°
together°
like lions:°
they shall yell°°
as lions'°
whelps.° |
|
51:39
In their heat I will give them a draught, and make them drunk, that they may be stupified, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and not awake, saith the Lord. |
|
51:39
In their heat°
I will make°°°
their feasts,°
and I will make them drunken,°°
that°
they may rejoice,°°
and sleep°°
a perpetual°
sleep,°
and not°
wake,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
51:40
And bring thou them down as lambs to the slaughter, and rams with kids. |
|
51:40
I will bring them down°°
like lambs°
to the slaughter,°°
like rams°
with°
he goats.° |
|
51:41
How has the boast of all the earth been taken and caught in a snare! how has Babylon become a desolation among the nations! |
|
51:41
How°
is Sheshach°
taken!°°
and how is the praise°
of the whole°
earth°
surprised!°°
how°
is Babylon°
become°
an astonishment°
among the nations!° |
|
51:42
The sea has come up upon Babylon with the sound of its waves, and she is covered. |
|
51:42
The sea°
is come up°°
upon°
Babylon:°
she is covered°°
with the multitude°
of the waves°
thereof. |
|
51:43
Her cities are become like a dry and trackless land; not so much as one [man] shall dwell in it, neither shall a son of man lodge in it. |
|
51:43
Her cities°
are°
a desolation,°
a dry°
land,°
and a wilderness,°
a land°
wherein°
no°°
man°
dwelleth,°°
neither°
doth [any] son°
of man°
pass°°
thereby.° |
|
51:44
And I will take vengeance on Babylon, and bring forth out of her mouth what she has swallowed down, and the nations shall no more be gathered to her: |
|
51:44
And I will punish°°°
Bel°
in Babylon,°
and I will bring forth°°
out of his mouth°°°
that which he hath swallowed up:°
and the nations°
shall not°
flow together°°
any more°
unto°
him: yea,°
the wall°
of Babylon°
shall fall.°° |
|
51:45
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
51:45
My people,°
go°
ye out°°
of the midst°°
of her, and deliver°°
ye every man°°
his soul°
from the fierce°°
anger°
of Yahweh.° |
|
51:46
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
51:46
And lest°
your heart°
faint,°°
and ye fear°°
for the rumour°
that shall be heard°°
in the land;°
a rumour°
shall both come°°
[one] year,°

that in [another] year°
[shall come] a rumour,°

Therefore,°
behold,°
the days°
come,°°
that I will do judgment°°
upon°
the graven images°
of Babylon:°
and her whole°
land°
shall be confounded,°°
and all°
her slain°
shall fall°°
in the midst°
of her. |

51:48
[Absent from Manuscript] |

51:48
Then the heaven°
and the earth,°

that°
[is] therein, shall sing°°
for°
Babylon:°
for°
the spoilers°°
shall come°°
unto her from the north,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
51:49
and in Babylon the slain men of all the earth shall fall. |
|
51:49
As°
Babylon°
[hath caused] the slain°
of Israel°
to fall,°°
so°
at Babylon°
shall fall°°
the slain°
of all°
the earth.° |
|
51:50
Go forth of the land, ye that escape, and stay not; ye that are afar off, remember the Lord, and let Jerusalem come into your mind. |
|
51:50
Ye that have escaped°°
the sword,°°
go away,°°
stand not still:°°°
remember°°°
Yahweh°
afar off,°
and let Jerusalem°
come°°
into°
your mind.° |
|
51:51
We are ashamed, because we have heard our reproach; disgrace has covered our face; aliens are come into our sanctuary, [even] into the house of the Lord. |
|
51:51
We are confounded,°°
because°
we have heard°°
reproach:°
shame°
hath covered°°
our faces:°
for°
strangers°°
are come°°
into°
the sanctuaries°
of Yahweh's°
house.° |
|
51:52
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will take vengeance upon her graven [images]: and slain men shall fall in all her land. |
|
51:52
Wherefore,°
behold,°
the days°
come,°°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
that I will do judgment°°
upon°
her graven images:°
and through all°
her land°
the wounded°
shall groan.°° |
|
51:53
For though Babylon should go up as the heaven, and though she should strengthen her walls with her power, from me shall come they that shall destroy her, saith the Lord. |
|
51:53
Though°
Babylon°
should mount up°°
to heaven,°
and though°
she should fortify°°
the height°
of her strength,°
[yet]°
from°°
me shall spoilers°°
come°°
unto her, saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
51:54
A sound of a cry in Babylon, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans: |
|
51:54
A sound°
of a cry°
[cometh] from Babylon,°°
and great°
destruction°
from the land°°
of the Chaldeans:° |
|
51:55
for the Lord has utterly destroyed Babylon, and cut off from her the great voice sounding as many waters: he has consigned her voice to destruction. |
|
51:55
Because°
Yahweh°
hath spoiled°°°
Babylon,°
and destroyed°°
out of°
her the great°
voice;°
when her waves°
do roar°°
like great°
waters,°
a noise°
of their voice°
is uttered:°° |
|
51:56
For distress has come upon Babylon, her warriors are taken, their bows are useless: for God recompenses them. |
|
51:56
Because°
the spoiler°°
is come°°
upon°
her, [even] upon°
Babylon,°
and her mighty men°
are taken,°°
every one of their bows°
is broken:°°
for°
Yahweh°
El°
of recompences°
shall surely°°
requite.°° |
|
51:57
The Lord recompenses, and will make her leaders and her wise men and her captains completely drunk, saith the King, the Lord Almighty is his name. |
|
51:57
And I will make drunk°°
her princes,°
and her wise°
[men], her captains,°
and her rulers,°
and her mighty men:°
and they shall sleep°°
a perpetual°
sleep,°
and not°
wake,°°
saith°°
the King,°
whose name°
[is] Yahweh°
Sabaoth.° |
|
51:58
Thus saith the Lord, The wall of Babylon was made broad, but it shall be completely broken down, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire; and the peoples shall not labour in vain, nor the nations fail in [their] rule. |
|
51:58
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth;°
The broad°
walls°
of Babylon°
shall be utterly°°
broken,°°
and her high°
gates°
shall be burned°°
with fire;°
and the people°
shall labour°°
in vain,°

the fire,°

51:59 ¶
THE WORD WHICH THE LORD COMMANDED THE PROPHET JEREMIAH{gr.JEREMIAS} to say to Seraiah{gr.Saraeas} son of Neriah{gr.Nerias}, son of Maaseiah{gr.Maasaeas}, when he went from Zedekiah{gr.Sedekias} king of Judah{gr.Juda} to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. And Seraiah{gr.Saraeas} was over the bounties. |
|
51:59 ¶
The word°
which°
Jeremiah°
the prophet°
commanded°°°
Seraiah°
the son°
of Neriah,°
the son°
of Maaseiah,°
when he went°°°
with°
Zedekiah°
the king°
of Judah°
into Babylon°
in the fourth°
year°
of his reign.°°
And [this] Seraiah°
[was] a quiet°
prince.° |
|
51:60
And Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} wrote in a book all the evils which should come upon Babylon, [even] all these words that are written against Babylon. |
|
51:60
So Jeremiah°
wrote°°
in°
a°
book°°
all°
the evil°
that°
should come°°
upon°
Babylon,°
[even]°
all°
these°
words°
that are written°°

Babylon.° |

51:61
And Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} said to Seraiah{gr.Saraeas}, When thou art come to Babylon, and shalt see and read all these words; |
|
51:61
And Jeremiah°
said°°
to°
Seraiah,°
When thou comest°°
to Babylon,°
and shalt see,°°
and shalt read°°°
all°
these°
words;° |
|
51:62
then thou shalt say, O Lord God, thou hast spoken against this place, to destroy it, and that there should be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast; for it shall be a desolation for ever. |
|
51:62
Then shalt thou say,°°
O Yahweh,°
thou°
hast spoken°°
against°
