Jeremiah 51 (WEBP)

[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 give 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 give 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.

King James w/Strong’s #s

Jeremiah 51 (KJVS)

[1] Thus saith the Lord; 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;
[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.
[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.
[4] Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
[5] For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the Lord of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
[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 the Lord’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
[7] Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
[8] Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
[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.
[10] The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.
[11] Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord 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 the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
[12] Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.
[13] O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
[14] The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[18] They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
[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: the Lord of hosts is his name.
[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;
[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;
[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;
[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.
[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 the Lord.
[25] Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the Lord, 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.
[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 the Lord.
[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.
[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.
[29] And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
[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.
[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,
[32] and that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
[33] For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 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.
[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.
[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.
[36] Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
[37] And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
[38] They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps.
[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 the Lord.
[40] I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
[41] How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
[42] The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
[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.
[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.
[45] My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.
[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, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
[47] 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.
[48] Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the Lord.
[49] As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
[50] Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
[51] We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord’s house.
[52] Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
[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 the Lord.
[54] A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
[55] because the Lord 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:
[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 the Lord God of recompences shall surely requite.
[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 The Lord of hosts.
[58] Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 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, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
[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.
[60] So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
[61] And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
[62] then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
[63] And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
[64] and thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

[36] Διὰ () τοῦτο () τάδε () λέγει () κύριος () Ἰδοὺ () ἐγὼ () κρινῶ () τὴν () ἀντίδικόν () σου () καὶ () ἐκδικήσω () τὴν () ἐκδίκησίν () σου () καὶ () ἐρημώσω () τὴν () θάλασσαν () αὐτῆς () καὶ () ξηρανῶ () τὴν () πηγὴν () αὐτῆς, ()
[37] καὶ () ἔσται () Βαβυλὼν () εἰς () ἀφανισμὸν () καὶ () οὐ () κατοικηθήσεται. ()
[38] Ἅμα () ὡς () λέοντες () ἐξηγέρθησαν () καὶ () ὡς () σκύμνοι λεόντων. ()

[40] καταβιβάσω () αὐτοὺς () ὡς () ἄρνας () εἰς () σφαγὴν () καὶ () ὡς () κριοὺς μετ’ () ἐρίφων. ()
[41] Πῶς () ἑάλω καὶ () ἐθηρεύθη () τὸ () καύχημα () πάσης () τῆς () γῆς; () Πῶς () ἐγένετο () Βαβυλὼν () εἰς () ἀφανισμὸν () ἐν () τοῖς () ἔθνεσιν; ()

[44] Καὶ () ἐκδικήσω () ἐπὶ () Βαβυλῶνα () καὶ () ἐξοίσω () ἃ () κατέπιεν () ἐκ () τοῦ () στόματος () αὐτῆς, () καὶ () οὐ () μὴ () συναχθῶσιν () πρὸς () αὐτὴν () ἔτι () τὰ () ἔθνη. () …
[49] Καὶ () ἐν () Βαβυλῶνι () πεσοῦνται () τραυματίαι πάσης () τῆς () γῆς. ()
[50] Ἀνασῳζόμενοι ἐκ () γῆς, () πορεύεσθε () καὶ () μὴ () ἵστασθε· () οἱ () μακρόθεν, () μνήσθητε () τοῦ () κυρίου, () καὶ () Ιερουσαλημ () ἀναβήτω () ἐπὶ () τὴν () καρδίαν () ὑμῶν. ()
[51] ᾘσχύνθημεν, () ὅτι () ἠκούσαμεν () ὀνειδισμὸν () ἡμῶν, () κατεκάλυψεν () ἀτιμία () τὸ () πρόσωπον () ἡμῶν, () εἰσῆλθον () ἀλλογενεῖς () εἰς () τὰ () ἅγια () ἡμῶν, () εἰς () οἶκον () κυρίου. ()
[52] Διὰ () τοῦτο () ἰδοὺ () ἡμέραι () ἔρχονται, () λέγει () κύριος, () καὶ () ἐκδικήσω () ἐπὶ () τὰ () γλυπτὰ αὐτῆς, () καὶ () ἐν () πάσῃ () τῇ () γῇ () αὐτῆς () πεσοῦνται () τραυματίαι.
[53] Ὅτι () ἐὰν () ἀναβῇ () Βαβυλὼν () ὡς () ὁ () οὐρανὸς () καὶ () ὅτι () ἐὰν () ὀχυρώσῃ ὕψος () ἰσχύος () αὐτῆς, () παρ’ () ἐμοῦ () ἥξουσιν () ἐξολεθρεύοντες () αὐτήν, () λέγει () κύριος. ()
[54] Φωνὴ () κραυγῆς () ἐν () Βαβυλῶνι, () καὶ () συντριβὴ μεγάλη () ἐν () γῇ () Χαλδαίων, ()
[55] ὅτι () ἐξωλέθρευσεν () κύριος () τὴν () Βαβυλῶνα () καὶ () ἀπώλεσεν () ἀπ’ () αὐτῆς () φωνὴν () μεγάλην () ἠχοῦσαν () ὡς () ὕδατα () πολλά, () ἔδωκεν () εἰς () ὄλεθρον () φωνὴν () αὐτῆς. ()
[56] Ὅτι () ἦλθεν () ἐπὶ () Βαβυλῶνα () ταλαιπωρία, () ἑάλωσαν οἱ () μαχηταὶ αὐτῆς, () ἐπτόηται () τὸ () τόξον () αὐτῶν, () ὅτι () θεὸς () ἀνταποδίδωσιν () αὐτοῖς, () κύριος () ἀνταποδίδωσιν () αὐτῇ () τὴν () ἀνταπόδοσιν· ()
[57] καὶ () μεθύσει () μέθῃ () τοὺς () ἡγεμόνας () αὐτῆς () καὶ () τοὺς () σοφοὺς () αὐτῆς () καὶ () τοὺς () στρατηγοὺς () αὐτῆς, () λέγει () ὁ () βασιλεύς, () κύριος () παντοκράτωρ () ὄνομα () αὐτῷ. ()
[58] Τάδε () λέγει () κύριος () Τεῖχος () Βαβυλῶνος () ἐπλατύνθη, () κατασκαπτόμενον () κατασκαφήσεται, () καὶ () αἱ () πύλαι () αὐτῆς () αἱ () ὑψηλαὶ () ἐμπυρισθήσονται, καὶ () οὐ () κοπιάσουσιν () λαοὶ () εἰς () κενόν, () καὶ () ἔθνη () ἐν () ἀρχῇ () ἐκλείψουσιν. ()
