Jeremiah 51

51:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I will raise up
<05782> (8688)

against Babylon
<0894>_,

and against them that dwell
<03427> (8802)

in the midst
<03820>

of them that rise up
<06965> (8801)

against me, a destroying
<07843> (8688)

wind
<07307>_;

{midst: Heb. heart}

51:2

And will send
<07971> (8765)

unto Babylon
<0894>

fanners
<02114> (8801)_,

that shall fan
<02219> (8765)

her, and shall empty
<01238> (8787)

her land
<0776>_:

for in the day
<03117>

of trouble
<07451>

they shall be against her round about
<05439>_.

51:3

Against [him that] bendeth
<01869> (0)

let the archer
<01869> (8802)

bend
<01869> (8799)

his bow
<07198>_,

and against [him that] lifteth himself up
<05927> (8691)

in his brigandine
<05630>_:

and spare
<02550> (8799)

ye not her young men
<0970>_;

destroy ye utterly
<02763> (8685)

all her host
<06635>_.

51:4

Thus the slain
<02491>

shall fall
<05307> (8804)

in the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

and [they that are] thrust through
<01856> (8794)

in her streets
<02351>_.

51:5

For Israel
<03478>

[hath] not [been] forsaken
<0488>_,

nor Judah
<03063>

of his God
<0430>_,

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

though their land
<0776>

was filled
<04390> (8804)

with sin
<0817>

against the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

51:6

Flee out
<05127> (8798)

of the midst
<08432>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and deliver
<04422> (8761)

every man
<0376>

his soul
<05315>_:

be not cut off
<01826> (8735)

in her iniquity
<05771>_;

for this [is] the time
<06256>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

vengeance
<05360>_;

he will render
<07999> (8764)

unto her a recompence
<01576>_.

51:7

Babylon
<0894>

[hath been] a golden
<02091>

cup
<03563>

in the LORD'S
<03068>

hand
<03027>_,

that made all the earth
<0776>

drunken
<07937> (8764)_:

the nations
<01471>

have drunken
<08354> (8804)

of her wine
<03196>_;

therefore the nations
<01471>

are mad
<01984> (8704)_.

51:8

Babylon
<0894>

is suddenly
<06597>

fallen
<05307> (8804)

and destroyed
<07665> (8735)_:

howl
<03213> (8685)

for her; take
<03947> (8798)

balm
<06875>

for her pain
<04341>_,

if so be she may be healed
<07495> (8735)_.

51:9

We would have healed
<07495> (8765)

Babylon
<0894>_,

but she is not healed
<07495> (8738)_:

forsake
<05800> (8798)

her, and let us go
<03212> (8799)

every one
<0376>

into his own country
<0776>_:

for her judgment
<04941>

reacheth
<05060> (8804)

unto heaven
<08064>_,

and is lifted up
<05375> (8738)

[even] to the skies
<07834>_.

51:10

The LORD
<03068>

hath brought forth
<03318> (8689)

our righteousness
<06666>_:

come
<0935> (8798)_,

and let us declare
<05608> (8762)

in Zion
<06726>

the work
<04639>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_.

51:11

Make bright
<01305> (8685)

the arrows
<02671>_;

gather
<04390> (8798)

the shields
<07982>_:

the LORD
<03068>

hath raised up
<05782> (8689)

the spirit
<07307>

of the kings
<04428>

of the Medes
<04074>_:

for his device
<04209>

[is] against Babylon
<0894>_,

to destroy
<07843> (8687)

it; because it [is] the vengeance
<05360>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the vengeance
<05360>

of his temple
<01964>_.

{bright: Heb. pure}

51:12

Set up
<05375> (8798)

the standard
<05251>

upon the walls
<02346>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

make the watch
<04929>

strong
<02388> (8685)_,

set up
<06965> (8685)

the watchmen
<08104> (8802)_,

prepare
<03559> (8685)

the ambushes
<0693> (8802)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath both devised
<02161> (8804)

and done
<06213> (8804)

that which he spake
<01696> (8765)

against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Babylon
<0894>_.

{ambushes: Heb. liers in wait}

51:13

O thou that dwellest
<07931> (8802) (8675) <07931> (8804)

upon many
<07227>

waters
<04325>_,

abundant
<07227>

in treasures
<0214>_,

thine end
<07093>

is come
<0935> (8802)_,

[and] the measure
<0520>

of thy covetousness
<01215>_.

51:14

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

hath sworn
<07650> (8738)

by himself
<05315>_,

[saying], Surely I will fill
<04390> (8765)

thee with men
<0120>_,

as with caterpillers
<03218>_;

and they shall lift up
<06030> (8804)

a shout
<01959>

against thee. {by himself: Heb. by his soul} {lift up: Heb. utter}

51:15

He hath made
<06213> (8802)

the earth
<0776>

by his power
<03581>_,

he hath established
<03559> (8688)

the world
<08398>

by his wisdom
<02451>_,

and hath stretched out
<05186> (8804)

the heaven
<08064>

by his understanding
<08394>_.

51:16

When he uttereth
<05414> (8800)

[his] voice
<06963>_,

[there is] a multitude
<01995>

of waters
<04325>

in the heavens
<08064>_;

and he causeth the vapours
<05387>

to ascend
<05927> (8686)

from the ends
<07097>

of the earth
<0776>_:

he maketh
<06213> (8804)

lightnings
<01300>

with rain
<04306>_,

and bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)

the wind
<07307>

out of his treasures
<0214>_.

{multitude: or, noise}

51:17

Every man
<0120>

is brutish
<01197> (8738)

by [his] knowledge
<01847>_;

every founder
<06884> (8802)

is confounded
<03001> (8689)

by the graven image
<06459>_:

for his molten image
<05262>

[is] falsehood
<08267>_,

and [there is] no breath
<07307>

in them. {is brutish...: or, is more brutish than to know}

51:18

They [are] vanity
<01892>_,

the work
<04639>

of errors
<08595>_:

in the time
<06256>

of their visitation
<06486>

they shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

51:19

The portion
<02506>

of Jacob
<03290>

[is] not like them; for he [is] the former
<03335> (8802)

of all things: and [Israel is] the rod
<07626>

of his inheritance
<05159>_:

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] his name
<08034>_.

51:20

Thou [art] my battle axe
<04661>

[and] weapons
<03627>

of war
<04421>_:

for with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)

the nations
<01471>_,

and with thee will I destroy
<07843> (8689)

kingdoms
<04467>_;

{with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee}

51:21

And with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)

the horse
<05483>

and his rider
<07392> (8802)_;

and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)

the chariot
<07393>

and his rider
<07392> (8802)_;

51:22

With thee also will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)

man
<0376>

and woman
<0802>_;

and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)

old
<02205>

and young
<05288>_;

and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)

the young man
<0970>

and the maid
<01330>_;

51:23

I will also break in pieces
<05310> (8765)

with thee the shepherd
<07462> (8802)

and his flock
<05739>_;

and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)

the husbandman
<0406>

and his yoke of oxen
<06776>_;

and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)

captains
<06346>

and rulers
<05461>_.

51:24

And I will render
<07999> (8765)

unto Babylon
<0894>

and to all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Chaldea
<03778>

all their evil
<07451>

that they have done
<06213> (8804)

in Zion
<06726>

in your sight
<05869>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

51:25

Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying
<04889>

mountain
<02022>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

which destroyest
<07843> (8688)

all the earth
<0776>_:

and I will stretch out
<05186> (8804)

mine hand
<03027>

upon thee, and roll thee down
<01556> (8773)

from the rocks
<05553>_,

and will make
<05414> (8804)

thee a burnt
<08316>

mountain
<02022>_.

51:26

And they shall not take
<03947> (8799)

of thee a stone
<068>

for a corner
<06438>_,

nor a stone
<068>

for foundations
<04146>_;

but thou shalt be desolate
<08077>

for ever
<05769>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{desolate...: Heb. everlasting desolations}

51:27

Set ye up
<05375> (8798)

a standard
<05251>

in the land
<0776>_,

blow
<08628> (8798)

the trumpet
<07782>

among the nations
<01471>_,

prepare
<06942> (8761)

the nations
<01471>

against her, call together
<08085> (8685)

against her the kingdoms
<04467>

of Ararat
<0780>_,

Minni
<04508>_,

and Ashchenaz
<0813>_;

appoint
<06485> (8798)

a captain
<02951>

against her; cause the horses
<05483>

to come up
<05927> (8685)

as the rough
<05569>

caterpillers
<03218>_.

51:28

Prepare
<06942> (8761)

against her the nations
<01471>

with the kings
<04428>

of the Medes
<04074>_,

the captains
<06346>

thereof, and all the rulers
<05461>

thereof, and all the land
<0776>

of his dominion
<04475>_.

51:29

And the land
<0776>

shall tremble
<07493> (8799)

and sorrow
<02342> (8799)_:

for every purpose
<04284>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall be performed
<06965> (8804)

against Babylon
<0894>_,

to make
<07760> (8800)

the land
<0776>

of Babylon
<0894>

a desolation
<08047>

without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

51:30

The mighty men
<01368>

of Babylon
<0894>

have forborn
<02308> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)_,

they have remained
<03427> (8804)

in [their] holds
<04679>_:

their might
<01369>

hath failed
<05405> (8804)_;

they became as women
<0802>_:

they have burned
<03341> (8689)

her dwellingplaces
<04908>_;

her bars
<01280>

are broken
<07665> (8738)_.

51:31

One post
<07323> (8801)

shall run
<07323> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

another
<07323> (8801)_,

and one messenger
<05046> (8688)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

another
<05046> (8688)_,

to shew
<05046> (8687)

the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

that his city
<05892>

is taken
<03920> (8738)

at [one] end
<07097>_,

51:32

And that the passages
<04569>

are stopped
<08610> (8738)_,

and the reeds
<098>

they have burned
<08313> (8804)

with fire
<0784>_,

and the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>

are affrighted
<0926> (8738)_.

51:33

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

The daughter
<01323>

of Babylon
<0894>

[is] like a threshingfloor
<01637>_,

[it is] time
<06256>

to thresh
<01869> (8687)

her: yet a little while
<04592>_,

and the time
<06256>

of her harvest
<07105>

shall come
<0935> (8804)_.

{it is...: or, in the time that he thresheth her}

51:34

Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

hath devoured
<0398> (8804)

me, he hath crushed
<02000> (8804)

me, he hath made
<03322> (8689)

me an empty
<07385>

vessel
<03627>_,

he hath swallowed me up
<01104> (8804)

like a dragon
<08577>_,

he hath filled
<04390> (8765)

his belly
<03770>

with my delicates
<05730>_,

he hath cast me out
<01740> (8689)_.

51:35

The violence
<02555>

done to me and to my flesh
<07607>

[be] upon Babylon
<0894>_,

shall the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Zion
<06726>

say
<0559> (8799)_;

and my blood
<01818>

upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Chaldea
<03778>_,

shall Jerusalem
<03389>

say
<0559> (8799)_.

{The violence...: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

51:36

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I will plead
<07378> (8801)

thy cause
<07379>_,

and take vengeance
<05358> (8765)

for thee
<05360>_;

and I will dry up
<02717> (8689)

her sea
<03220>_,

and make her springs
<04726>

dry
<03001> (8689)_.

51:37

And Babylon
<0894>

shall become heaps
<01530>_,

a dwellingplace
<04583>

for dragons
<08577>_,

an astonishment
<08047>_,

and an hissing
<08322>_,

without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

51:38

They shall roar
<07580> (8799)

together
<03162>

like lions
<03715>_:

they shall yell
<05286> (8804)

as lions
<0738>_'

whelps
<01484>_.

{yell: or, shake themselves}

51:39

In their heat
<02527>

I will make
<07896> (8799)

their feasts
<04960>_,

and I will make them drunken
<07937> (8689)_,

that they may rejoice
<05937> (8799)_,

and sleep
<03462> (8804)

a perpetual
<05769>

sleep
<08142>_,

and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

51:40

I will bring them down
<03381> (8686)

like lambs
<03733>

to the slaughter
<02873> (8800)_,

like rams
<0352>

with he goats
<06260>_.

51:41

How is Sheshach
<08347>

taken
<03920> (8738)_!

and how is the praise
<08416>

of the whole earth
<0776>

surprised
<08610> (8735)_!

how is Babylon
<0894>

become an astonishment
<08047>

among the nations
<01471>_!

51:42

The sea
<03220>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

upon Babylon
<0894>_:

she is covered
<03680> (8738)

with the multitude
<01995>

of the waves
<01530>

thereof.

51:43

Her cities
<05892>

are a desolation
<08047>_,

a dry
<06723>

land
<0776>_,

and a wilderness
<06160>_,

a land
<0776>

wherein no man
<0376>

dwelleth
<03427> (8799)_,

neither doth [any] son
<01121>

of man
<0120>

pass
<05674> (8799)

thereby
<02004>_.

51:44

And I will punish
<06485> (8804)

Bel
<01078>

in Babylon
<0894>_,

and I will bring forth
<03318> (8689)

out of his mouth
<06310>

that which he hath swallowed up
<01105>_:

and the nations
<01471>

shall not flow together
<05102> (8799)

any more unto him: yea, the wall
<02346>

of Babylon
<0894>

shall fall
<05307> (8804)_.

51:45

My people
<05971>_,

go ye out
<03318> (8798)

of the midst
<08432>

of her, and deliver
<04422> (8761)

ye every man
<0376>

his soul
<05315>

from the fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

51:46

And lest your heart
<03824>

faint
<07401> (8735)_,

and ye fear
<03372> (8799)

for the rumour
<08052>

that shall be heard
<08085> (8737)

in the land
<0776>_;

a rumour
<08052>

shall both come
<0935> (8804)

[one] year
<08141>_,

and after
<0310>

that in [another] year
<08141>

[shall come] a rumour
<08052>_,

and violence
<02555>

in the land
<0776>_,

ruler
<04910> (8802)

against ruler
<04910> (8802)_.

{lest: or, let not}

51:47

Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)

upon the graven images
<06456>

of Babylon
<0894>_:

and her whole land
<0776>

shall be confounded
<0954> (8799)_,

and all her slain
<02491>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

in the midst
<08432>

of her. {do...: Heb. visit upon}

51:48

Then the heaven
<08064>

and the earth
<0776>_,

and all that [is] therein, shall sing
<07442> (8765)

for Babylon
<0894>_:

for the spoilers
<07703> (8802)

shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto her from the north
<06828>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

51:49

As
<01571>

Babylon
<0894>

[hath caused] the slain
<02491>

of Israel
<03478>

to fall
<05307> (8800)_,

so at Babylon
<0894>

shall fall
<05307> (8804)

the slain
<02491>

of all the earth
<0776>_.

{As...: or, Both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain of Israel, and with Babylon, etc} {the earth: or, the country}

51:50

Ye that have escaped
<06405>

the sword
<02719>_,

go away
<01980> (8798)_,

stand not still
<05975> (8799)_:

remember
<02142> (8798)

the LORD
<03068>

afar off
<07350>_,

and let Jerusalem
<03389>

come
<05927> (8799)

into your mind
<03824>_.

51:51

We are confounded
<0954> (8804)_,

because we have heard
<08085> (8804)

reproach
<02781>_:

shame
<03639>

hath covered
<03680> (8765)

our faces
<06440>_:

for strangers
<02114> (8801)

are come
<0935> (8804)

into the sanctuaries
<04720>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_.

51:52

Wherefore, behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)

upon her graven images
<06456>_:

and through all her land
<0776>

the wounded
<02491>

shall groan
<0602> (8799)_.

51:53

Though Babylon
<0894>

should mount up
<05927> (8799)

to heaven
<08064>_,

and though she should fortify
<01219> (8762)

the height
<04791>

of her strength
<05797>_,

[yet]
<0227>

from me shall spoilers
<07703> (8802)

come
<0935> (8799)

unto her, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

51:54

A sound
<06963>

of a cry
<02201>

[cometh] from Babylon
<0894>_,

and great
<01419>

destruction
<07667>

from the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:

51:55

Because the LORD
<03068>

hath spoiled
<07703> (8802)

Babylon
<0894>_,

and destroyed
<06> (8765)

out of her the great
<01419>

voice
<06963>_;

when her waves
<01530>

do roar
<01993> (8804)

like great
<07227>

waters
<04325>_,

a noise
<07588>

of their voice
<06963>

is uttered
<05414> (8738)_:

51:56

Because the spoiler
<07703> (8802)

is come
<0935> (8804)

upon her, [even] upon Babylon
<0894>_,

and her mighty men
<01368>

are taken
<03920> (8738)_,

every one of their bows
<07198>

is broken
<02865> (8765)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

God
<0410>

of recompences
<01578>

shall surely
<07999> (8763)

requite
<07999> (8762)_.

51:57

And I will make drunk
<07937> (8689)

her princes
<08269>_,

and her wise
<02450>

[men], her captains
<06346>_,

and her rulers
<05461>_,

and her mighty men
<01368>_:

and they shall sleep
<03462> (8804)

a perpetual
<05769>

sleep
<08142>_,

and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the King
<04428>_,

whose name
<08034>

[is] the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

51:58

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

The broad
<07342>

walls
<02346>

of Babylon
<0894>

shall be utterly
<06209> (8771)

broken
<06209> (8698)_,

and her high
<01364>

gates
<08179>

shall be burned
<03341> (8799)

with fire
<0784>_;

and the people
<05971>

shall labour
<03021> (8799)

in vain
<07385>_,

and the folk
<03816>

in
<01767>

the fire
<0784>_,

and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.

{The broad...: or, The walls of broad Babylon} {broken: or, made naked}

51:59

The word
<01697>

which Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

Seraiah
<08304>

the son
<01121>

of Neriah
<05374>_,

the son
<01121>

of Maaseiah
<04271>_,

when he went
<03212> (8800)

with Zedekiah
<06667>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

into Babylon
<0894>

in the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.

And [this] Seraiah
<08304>

[was] a quiet
<04496>

prince
<08269>_.

{with: or, on the behalf of} {quiet...: or, prince of Menucha, or, chief chamberlain}

51:60

So Jeremiah
<03414>

wrote
<03789> (8799)

in a
<0259>

book
<05612>

all the evil
<07451>

that should come
<0935> (8799)

upon Babylon
<0894>_,

[even] all these words
<01697>

that are written
<03789> (8803)

against Babylon
<0894>_.

51:61

And Jeremiah
<03414>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Seraiah
<08304>_,

When thou comest
<0935> (8800)

to Babylon
<0894>_,

and shalt see
<07200> (8804)_,

and shalt read
<07121> (8804)

all these words
<01697>_;

51:62

Then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)

against this place
<04725>_,

to cut it off
<03772> (8687)_,

that none shall remain
<03427> (8802)

in it, neither man
<0120>

nor beast
<0929>_,

but that it shall be desolate
<08077>

for ever
<05769>_.

{desolate: Heb. desolations}

51:63

And it shall be, when thou hast made an end
<03615> (8763)

of reading
<07121> (8800)

this book
<05612>_,

[that] thou shalt bind
<07194> (8799)

a stone
<068>

to it, and cast
<07993> (8689)

it into the midst
<08432>

of Euphrates
<06578>_:

51:64

And thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thus shall Babylon
<0894>

sink
<08257> (8799)_,

and shall not rise
<06965> (8799)

from
<06440>

the evil
<07451>

that I will bring
<0935> (8688)

upon her: and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.

Thus far [are] the words
<01697>

of Jeremiah
<03414>_.
