[1] Yahweh says:
“Behold, I will raise up against Babylon,
and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
[2] I will send to Babylon strangers, who will winnow her.
They will empty her land;
for in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.
[3] Against him who bends, let the archer bend his bow,
also against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail.
Don’t spare her young men!
Utterly destroy all her army!
[4] They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,
and thrust through in her streets.
[5] For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God,
by Yahweh of Armies;
though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel. [6] “Flee out of the middle of Babylon!
Everyone save his own life!
Don’t be cut off in her iniquity,
for it is the time of Yahweh’s vengeance.
He will render to her a recompense.
[7] Babylon has been a golden cup in Yahweh’s hand,
who made all the earth drunk.
The nations have drunk of her wine;
therefore the nations have gone mad.
[8] Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed!
Wail for her!
Take balm for her pain.
Perhaps she may be healed. [9] “We would have healed Babylon,
but she is not healed.
Forsake her,
and let’s each go into his own country;
for her judgment reaches to heaven,
and is lifted up even to the skies.
[10] ‘Yahweh has produced our righteousness.
Come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of Yahweh our God.’ [11] “Make the arrows sharp!
Hold the shields firmly!
Yahweh has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes,
because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it;
for it is the vengeance of Yahweh,
the vengeance of his temple.
[12] Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon!
Make the watch strong!
Set the watchmen,
and prepare the ambushes;
for Yahweh has both purposed and done
that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
[13] You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures,
your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
[14] Yahweh of Armies has sworn by himself, saying,
‘Surely I will fill you with men,
as with locusts,
and they will lift up a shout against you.’ [15] “He has made the earth by his power.
He has established the world by his wisdom.
By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.
[16] When he utters his voice,
there is a roar of waters in the heavens,
and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
and brings the wind out of his treasuries. [17] “Every man has become stupid and without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image,
for his molten images are falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.
[18] They are vanity,
a work of delusion.
In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
[19] The portion of Jacob is not like these,
for he formed all things,
including the tribe of his inheritance.
Yahweh of Armies is his name. [20] “You are my battle ax and weapons of war.
With you I will break the nations into pieces.
With you I will destroy kingdoms.
[21] With you I will break in pieces
the horse and his rider.
[22] With you I will break in pieces
the chariot and him who rides therein.
With you I will break in pieces
man and woman.
With you I will break in pieces
the old man and the youth.
With you I will break in pieces
the young man and the virgin.
[23] With you I will break in pieces
the shepherd and his flock.
With you I will break in pieces
the farmer and his yoke.
With you I will break in pieces
governors and deputies. [24] “I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight,” says Yahweh.
[25] “Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says Yahweh,
“which destroys all the earth.
I will stretch out my hand on you,
roll you down from the rocks,
and will make you a burned mountain.
[26] They won’t take a cornerstone from you,
nor a stone for foundations;
but you will be desolate forever,” says Yahweh. [27] “Set 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 Ashkenaz!
Appoint a marshal against her!
Cause the horses to come up as the swarming locusts!
[28] Prepare against her the nations,
the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
[29] The land trembles and is in pain;
for the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand,
to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
[30] The mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting,
they remain in their strongholds.
Their might has failed.
They have become as women.
Her dwelling places are set on fire.
Her bars are broken.
[31] One runner will run to meet another,
and one messenger to meet another,
to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.
[32] So the passages are seized.
They have burned the reeds with fire.
The men of war are frightened.” [33] For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says:
“The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden.
Yet a little while, and the time of harvest comes for her.” [34] “Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me.
He has crushed me.
He has made me an empty vessel.
He has, like a monster, swallowed me up.
He has filled his mouth with my delicacies.
He has cast me out.
[35] May the violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon!”
the inhabitant of Zion will say; and,
“May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea!”
will Jerusalem say. [36] Therefore Yahweh says:
“Behold, I will plead your cause,
and take vengeance for you.
I will dry up her sea,
and make her fountain dry.
[37] Babylon will become heaps,
a dwelling place for jackals,
an astonishment, and a hissing,
without inhabitant.
[38] They will roar together like young lions.
They will growl as lions’ cubs.
[39] When they are inflamed, I will make their feast,
and I will make them drunk,
that they may rejoice,
and sleep a perpetual sleep,
and not wake up,” says Yahweh. [40] “I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams with male goats. [41] “How Sheshach is taken!
How the praise of the whole earth is seized!
How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
[42] The sea has come up on Babylon.
She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
[43] Her cities have become a desolation,
a dry land, and a desert,
a land in which no man dwells.
No son of man passes by it.
[44] I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon,
and I will bring out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up.
The nations will not flow any more to him.
Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall. [45] “My people, go away from the middle of her,
and each of you save yourselves from Yahweh’s fierce anger.
[46] Don’t let your heart faint.
Don’t fear for the news that will be heard in the land.
For news will come one year,
and after that in another year news will come,
and violence in the land,
ruler against ruler.
[47] Therefore behold, the days come that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon;
and her whole land will be confounded.
All her slain will fall in the middle of her.
[48] Then the heavens and the earth,
and all that is therein,
will sing for joy over Babylon;
for the destroyers will come to her from the north,” says Yahweh. [49] “As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall,
so the slain of all the land will fall at Babylon.
[50] You who have escaped the sword, go!
Don’t stand still!
Remember Yahweh from afar,
and let Jerusalem come into your mind.” [51] “We are confounded
because we have heard reproach.
Confusion has covered our faces,
for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of Yahweh’s house.” [52] “Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh,
“that I will execute judgment on her engraved images;
and through all her land the wounded will groan.
[53] Though Babylon should mount up to the sky,
and though she should fortify the height of her strength,
yet destroyers will come to her from me,” says Yahweh. [54] “The sound of a cry comes from Babylon,
and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
[55] For Yahweh lays Babylon waste,
and destroys out of her the great voice!
Their waves roar like many waters.
The noise of their voice is uttered.
[56] For the destroyer has come on her,
even on Babylon.
Her mighty men are taken.
Their bows are broken in pieces,
for Yahweh is a God of retribution.
He will surely repay.
[57] I will make her princes, her wise men,
her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men drunk.
They will sleep a perpetual sleep,
and not wake up,”
says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies. [58] Yahweh of Armies says:
“The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown.
Her high gates will be burned with fire.
The peoples will labor for vanity,
and the nations for the fire;
and they will be weary.” [59] The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief quartermaster. [60] Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon. [61] Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words, [62] and say, ‘Yahweh, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that no one will dwell in it, neither man nor animal, but that it will be desolate forever.’ [63] It will be, when you have finished reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of the Euphrates. [64] Then you shall say, ‘Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they will be weary.’ ”Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
“Behold, I will raise up against Babylon,
and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
[2] I will send to Babylon strangers, who will winnow her.
They will empty her land;
for in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.
[3] Against him who bends, let the archer bend his bow,
also against him who lifts himself up in his coat of mail.

King James Version
[1] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 Behold, I will raise upH5782(HiphPtc) against Babylon,H894 and against them that dwellH3427(QalActPtc) in the midstH3820 of them that rise upH6965(QalPtc) against me, a destroyingH7843(HiphPtc) wind;H7307 [2] And will sendH7971(PielPerf) unto BabylonH894 fanners,H2114(QalPtc) that shall fanH2219(PielPerf) her, and shall emptyH1238(PoleImpf) her land:H776 for in the dayH3117 of troubleH7451 they shall be against her round about.H5439 [3] Against [him that] bendethH1869 let the archerH1869(QalActPtc) bendH1869(QalImpf) his bow,H7198 and against [him that] lifteth himself upH5927(HithImpf) in his brigandine:H5630 and spareH2550(QalImpf) ye not her young men;H970 destroy ye utterlyH2763(HiphImpv) all her host.H6635 [4] Thus the slainH2491 shall fallH5307(QalPerf) in the landH776 of the Chaldeans,H3778 and [they that are] thrust throughH1856(PualPtc) in her streets.H2351 [5] For IsraelH3478 [hath] not [been] forsaken,H488 nor JudahH3063 of his God,H430 of the LordH3068 of hosts;H6635 though their landH776 was filledH4390(QalPerf) with sinH817 against the Holy OneH6918 of Israel.H3478 [6] Flee outH5127(QalImpv) of the midstH8432 of Babylon,H894 and deliverH4422(PielImpv) every manH376 his soul:H5315 be not cut offH1826(NiphImpf) in her iniquity;H5771 for this [is] the timeH6256 of the Lord’sH3068 vengeance;H5360 he will renderH7999(PielPtc) unto her a recompence.H1576 [7] BabylonH894 [hath been] a goldenH2091 cupH3563 in the Lord’sH3068 hand,H3027 that made all the earthH776 drunken:H7937(PielPtc) the nationsH1471 have drunkenH8354(QalPerf) of her wine;H3196 therefore the nationsH1471 are mad.H1984(HipoImpf) [8] BabylonH894 is suddenlyH6597 fallenH5307(QalPerf) and destroyed:H7665(NiphImpf) howlH3213(HiphImpv) for her; takeH3947(QalImpv) balmH6875 for her pain,H4341 if so be she may be healed.H7495(NiphImpf) [9] We would have healedH7495(PielPerf) Babylon,H894 but she is not healed:H7495(NiphPerf) forsakeH5800(QalImpv) her, and let us goH3212(QalImpf) every oneH376 into his own country:H776 for her judgmentH4941 reachethH5060(QalPerf) unto heaven,H8064 and is lifted upH5375(NiphPerf) [even] to the skies.H7834 [10] The LordH3068 hath brought forthH3318(HiphPerf) our righteousness:H6666 come,H935(QalImpv) and let us declareH5608(PielImpf) in ZionH6726 the workH4639 of the LordH3068 our God.H430 [11] Make brightH1305(HiphImpv) the arrows;H2671 gatherH4390(QalImpv) the shields:H7982 the LordH3068 hath raised upH5782(HiphPerf) the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the Medes:H4074 for his deviceH4209 [is] against Babylon,H894 to destroyH7843(HiphInf) it; because it [is] the vengeanceH5360 of the Lord,H3068 the vengeanceH5360 of his temple.H1964 [12] Set upH5375(QalImpv) the standardH5251 upon the wallsH2346 of Babylon,H894 make the watchH4929 strong,H2388(HiphImpv) set upH6965(HiphImpv) the watchmen,H8104(QalActPtc) prepareH3559(HiphImpv) the ambushes:H693(QalActPtc) for the LordH3068 hath both devisedH2161(QalPerf) and doneH6213(QalPerf) that which he spakeH1696(PielPerf) against the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Babylon.H894 [13] O thou that dwellestH7931(QalActPtc/Qere) upon manyH7227 waters,H4325 abundantH7227 in treasures,H214 thine endH7093 is come,H935(QalActPtc) [and] the measureH520 of thy covetousness.H1215 [14] The LordH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650(NiphPerf) by himself,H5315 [saying], Surely I will fillH4390(PielPerf) thee with men,H120 as with caterpillers;H3218 and they shall lift upH6030(QalPerf) a shoutH1959 against thee. [15] He hath madeH6213(QalActPtc) the earthH776 by his power,H3581 he hath establishedH3559(HiphPtc) the worldH8398 by his wisdom,H2451 and hath stretched outH5186(QalPerf) the heavenH8064 by his understanding.H8394 [16] When he utterethH5414(QalInf) [his] voice,H6963 [there is] a multitudeH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavens;H8064 and he causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927(HiphImpf) from the endsH7097 of the earth:H776 he makethH6213(QalPerf) lightningsH1300 with rain,H4306 and bringeth forthH3318(HiphImpf) the windH7307 out of his treasures.H214 [17] Every manH120 is brutishH1197(NiphPerf) by [his] knowledge;H1847 every founderH6884(QalActPtc) is confoundedH3001(HiphPerf) by the graven image:H6459 for his molten imageH5262 [is] falsehood,H8267 and [there is] no breathH7307 in them. [18] They [are] vanity,H1892 the workH4639 of errors:H8595 in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perish.H6(QalImpf) [19] The portionH2506 of JacobH3290 [is] not like them; for he [is] the formerH3335(QalActPtc) of all things: and [Israel is] the rodH7626 of his inheritance:H5159 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 [is] his name.H8034 [20] Thou [art] my battle axeH4661 [and] weaponsH3627 of war:H4421 for with thee will I break in piecesH5310(PielPerf) the nations,H1471 and with thee will I destroyH7843(HiphPerf) kingdoms;H4467 [21] And with thee will I break in piecesH5310(PielPerf) the horseH5483 and his rider;H7392(QalActPtc) and with thee will I break in piecesH5310(PielPerf) the chariotH7393 and his rider;H7392(QalActPtc) [22] With thee also will I break in piecesH5310(PielPerf) manH376 and woman;H802 and with thee will I break in piecesH5310(PielPerf) oldH2205 and young;H5288 and with thee will I break in piecesH5310(PielPerf) the young manH970 and the maid;H1330 [23] I will also break in piecesH5310(PielPerf) with thee the shepherdH7462(QalActPtc) and his flock;H5739 and with thee will I break in piecesH5310(PielPerf) the husbandmanH406 and his yoke of oxen;H6776 and with thee will I break in piecesH5310(PielPerf) captainsH6346 and rulers.H5461 [24] And I will renderH7999(PielPerf) unto BabylonH894 and to all the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of ChaldeaH3778 all their evilH7451 that they have doneH6213(QalPerf) in ZionH6726 in your sight,H5869 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [25] Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroyingH4889 mountain,H2022 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 which destroyestH7843(HiphPtc) all the earth:H776 and I will stretch outH5186(QalPerf) mine handH3027 upon thee, and roll thee downH1556(PilpPerf) from the rocks,H5553 and will makeH5414(QalPerf) thee a burntH8316 mountain.H2022 [26] And they shall not takeH3947(QalImpf) of thee a stoneH68 for a corner,H6438 nor a stoneH68 for foundations;H4146 but thou shalt be desolateH8077 for ever,H5769 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [27] Set ye upH5375(QalImpv) a standardH5251 in the land,H776 blowH8628(QalImpv) the trumpetH7782 among the nations,H1471 prepareH6942(PielImpv) the nationsH1471 against her, call togetherH8085(HiphImpv) against her the kingdomsH4467 of Ararat,H780 Minni,H4508 and Ashchenaz;H813 appointH6485(QalImpv) a captainH2951 against her; cause the horsesH5483 to come upH5927(HiphImpv) as the roughH5569 caterpillers.H3218 [28] PrepareH6942(PielImpv) against her the nationsH1471 with the kingsH4428 of the Medes,H4074 the captainsH6346 thereof, and all the rulersH5461 thereof, and all the landH776 of his dominion.H4475 [29] And the landH776 shall trembleH7493(QalImpf) and sorrow:H2342(QalImpf) for every purposeH4284 of the LordH3068 shall be performedH6965(QalPerf) against Babylon,H894 to makeH7760(QalInf) the landH776 of BabylonH894 a desolationH8047 without an inhabitant.H3427(QalActPtc) [30] The mighty menH1368 of BabylonH894 have forbornH2308(QalPerf) to fight,H3898(NiphInf) they have remainedH3427(QalPerf) in [their] holds:H4679 their mightH1369 hath failed;H5405(QalPerf) they became as women:H802 they have burnedH3341(HiphPerf) her dwellingplaces;H4908 her barsH1280 are broken.H7665(NiphPerf) [31] One postH7323(QalPtc) shall runH7323(QalImpf) to meetH7125(QalInf) another,H7323(QalPtc) and one messengerH5046(HiphPtc) to meetH7125(QalInf) another,H5046(HiphPtc) to shewH5046(HiphInf) the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 that his cityH5892 is takenH3920(NiphPerf) at [one] end,H7097 [32] And that the passagesH4569 are stopped,H8610(NiphPerf) and the reedsH98 they have burnedH8313(QalPerf) with fire,H784 and the menH582 of warH4421 are affrighted.H926(NiphPerf) [33] For thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH430 of Israel;H3478 The daughterH1323 of BabylonH894 [is] like a threshingfloor,H1637 [it is] timeH6256 to threshH1869(HiphInf) her: yet a little while,H4592 and the timeH6256 of her harvestH7105 shall come.H935(QalPerf) [34] NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath devouredH398(QalPerf) me, he hath crushedH2000(QalPerf) me, he hath madeH3322(HiphPerf) me an emptyH7385 vessel,H3627 he hath swallowed me upH1104(QalPerf) like a dragon,H8577 he hath filledH4390(PielPerf) his bellyH3770 with my delicates,H5730 he hath cast me out.H1740(HiphPerf) [35] The violenceH2555 done to me and to my fleshH7607 [be] upon Babylon,H894 shall the inhabitantH3427(QalActPtc) of ZionH6726 say;H559(QalImpf) and my bloodH1818 upon the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Chaldea,H3778 shall JerusalemH3389 say.H559(QalImpf) [36] Therefore thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 Behold, I will pleadH7378(QalPtc) thy cause,H7379 and take vengeanceH5358(PielPerf) for thee;H5360 and I will dry upH2717(HiphPerf) her sea,H3220 and make her springsH4726 dry.H3001(HiphPerf) [37] And BabylonH894 shall become heaps,H1530 a dwellingplaceH4583 for dragons,H8577 an astonishment,H8047 and an hissing,H8322 without an inhabitant.H3427(QalActPtc) [38] They shall roarH7580(QalImpf) togetherH3162 like lions:H3715 they shall yellH5286(QalPerf) as lions’H738 whelps.H1484 [39] In their heatH2527 I will makeH7896(QalImpf) their feasts,H4960 and I will make them drunken,H7937(HiphPerf) that they may rejoice,H5937(QalImpf) and sleepH3462(QalPerf) a perpetualH5769 sleep,H8142 and not wake,H6974(HiphImpf) saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [40] I will bring them downH3381(HiphImpf) like lambsH3733 to the slaughter,H2873(QalInf) like ramsH352 with he goats.H6260 [41] How is SheshachH8347 taken!H3920(NiphPerf) and how is the praiseH8416 of the whole earthH776 surprised!H8610(NiphImpf) how is BabylonH894 become an astonishmentH8047 among the nations!H1471 [42] The seaH3220 is come upH5927(QalPerf) upon Babylon:H894 she is coveredH3680(NiphPerf) with the multitudeH1995 of the wavesH1530 thereof. [43] Her citiesH5892 are a desolation,H8047 a dryH6723 land,H776 and a wilderness,H6160 a landH776 wherein no manH376 dwelleth,H3427(QalImpf) neither doth [any] sonH1121 of manH120 passH5674(QalImpf) thereby.H2004 [44] And I will punishH6485(QalPerf) BelH1078 in Babylon,H894 and I will bring forthH3318(HiphPerf) out of his mouthH6310 that which he hath swallowed up:H1105 and the nationsH1471 shall not flow togetherH5102(QalImpf) any more unto him: yea, the wallH2346 of BabylonH894 shall fall.H5307(QalPerf) [45] My people,H5971 go ye outH3318(QalImpv) of the midstH8432 of her, and deliverH4422(PielImpv) ye every manH376 his soulH5315 from the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the Lord.H3068 [46] And lest your heartH3824 faint,H7401(NiphImpf) and ye fearH3372(QalImpf) for the rumourH8052 that shall be heardH8085(NiphPtc) in the land;H776 a rumourH8052 shall both comeH935(QalPerf) [one] year,H8141 and afterH310 that in [another] yearH8141 [shall come] a rumour,H8052 and violenceH2555 in the land,H776 rulerH4910(QalActPtc) against ruler.H4910(QalActPtc) [47] Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 come,H935(QalActPtc) that I will do judgmentH6485(QalPerf) upon the graven imagesH6456 of Babylon:H894 and her whole landH776 shall be confounded,H954(QalImpf) and all her slainH2491 shall fallH5307(QalImpf) in the midstH8432 of her. [48] Then the heavenH8064 and the earth,H776 and all that [is] therein, shall singH7442(PielPerf) for Babylon:H894 for the spoilersH7703(QalActPtc) shall comeH935(QalImpf) unto her from the north,H6828 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [49] AsH1571 BabylonH894 [hath caused] the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 to fall,H5307(QalInf) so at BabylonH894 shall fallH5307(QalPerf) the slainH2491 of all the earth.H776 [50] Ye that have escapedH6405 the sword,H2719 go away,H1980(QalImpv) stand not still:H5975(QalImpf) rememberH2142(QalImpv) the LordH3068 afar off,H7350 and let JerusalemH3389 comeH5927(QalImpf) into your mind.H3824 [51] We are confounded,H954(QalPerf) because we have heardH8085(QalPerf) reproach:H2781 shameH3639 hath coveredH3680(PielPerf) our faces:H6440 for strangersH2114(QalPtc) are comeH935(QalPerf) into the sanctuariesH4720 of the Lord’sH3068 house.H1004 [52] Wherefore, behold, the daysH3117 come,H935(QalActPtc) saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 that I will do judgmentH6485(QalPerf) upon her graven images:H6456 and through all her landH776 the woundedH2491 shall groan.H602(QalImpf) [53] Though BabylonH894 should mount upH5927(QalImpf) to heaven,H8064 and though she should fortifyH1219(PielImpf) the heightH4791 of her strength,H5797 [yet]H227 from me shall spoilersH7703(QalActPtc) comeH935(QalImpf) unto her, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [54] A soundH6963 of a cryH2201 [cometh] from Babylon,H894 and greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the Chaldeans:H3778 [55] Because the LordH3068 hath spoiledH7703(QalActPtc) Babylon,H894 and destroyedH6(PielPerf) out of her the greatH1419 voice;H6963 when her wavesH1530 do roarH1993(QalPerf) like greatH7227 waters,H4325 a noiseH7588 of their voiceH6963 is uttered:H5414(NiphPerf) [56] Because the spoilerH7703(QalActPtc) is comeH935(QalPerf) upon her, [even] upon Babylon,H894 and her mighty menH1368 are taken,H3920(NiphPerf) every one of their bowsH7198 is broken:H2865(PielPerf) for the LordH3068 GodH410 of recompencesH1578 shall surelyH7999(PielInf) requite.H7999(PielImpf) [57] And I will make drunkH7937(HiphPerf) her princes,H8269 and her wiseH2450 [men], her captains,H6346 and her rulers,H5461 and her mighty men:H1368 and they shall sleepH3462(QalPerf) a perpetualH5769 sleep,H8142 and not wake,H6974(HiphImpf) saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the King,H4428 whose nameH8034 [is] the LordH3068 of hosts.H6635 [58] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 of hosts;H6635 The broadH7342 wallsH2346 of BabylonH894 shall be utterlyH6209(PilpInf) broken,H6209(HippImpf) and her highH1364 gatesH8179 shall be burnedH3341(QalImpf) with fire;H784 and the peopleH5971 shall labourH3021(QalImpf) in vain,H7385 and the folkH3816 inH1767 the fire,H784 and they shall be weary.H3286(QalPerf) [59] The wordH1697 which JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680(PielPerf) SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of Neriah,H5374 the sonH1121 of Maaseiah,H4271 when he wentH3212(QalInf) with ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into BabylonH894 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of his reign.H4427(QalInf) And [this] SeraiahH8304 [was] a quietH4496 prince.H8269 [60] So JeremiahH3414 wroteH3789(QalImpf) in aH259 bookH5612 all the evilH7451 that should comeH935(QalImpf) upon Babylon,H894 [even] all these wordsH1697 that are writtenH3789(QalPasPtc) against Babylon.H894 [61] And JeremiahH3414 saidH559(QalImpf) to Seraiah,H8304 When thou comestH935(QalInf) to Babylon,H894 and shalt see,H7200(QalPerf) and shalt readH7121(QalPerf) all these words;H1697 [62] Then shalt thou say,H559(QalPerf) O Lord,H3068 thou hast spokenH1696(PielPerf) against this place,H4725 to cut it off,H3772(HiphInf) that none shall remainH3427(QalActPtc) in it, neither manH120 nor beast,H929 but that it shall be desolateH8077 for ever.H5769 [63] And it shall be, when thou hast made an endH3615(PielInf) of readingH7121(QalInf) this book,H5612 [that] thou shalt bindH7194(QalImpf) a stoneH68 to it, and castH7993(HiphPerf) it into the midstH8432 of Euphrates:H6578 [64] And thou shalt say,H559(QalPerf) Thus shall BabylonH894 sink,H8257(QalImpf) and shall not riseH6965(QalImpf) fromH6440 the evilH7451 that I will bringH935(HiphPtc) upon her: and they shall be weary.H3286(QalPerf) Thus far [are] the wordsH1697 of Jeremiah.H3414
