[and] against the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>

by

Declare
<05046> (8685)

ye among the nations
<01471>_,

and publish
<08085> (8685)_,

and set up
<05375> (8798)

a standard
<05251>_;

publish
<08085> (8685)_,

[and] conceal
<03582> (8762)

not: say
<0559> (8798)_,

Babylon
<0894>

is taken
<03920> (8738)_,

Bel
<01078>

is confounded
<03001> (8689)_,

Merodach
<04781>

is broken in pieces
<02865> (8804)_;

her idols
<06091>

are confounded
<03001> (8689)_,

her images
<01544>

are broken in pieces
<02865> (8804)_.

{set up: Heb. lift up}

50:3

For out of the north
<06828>

there cometh up
<05927> (8804)

a nation
<01471>

against her, which shall make
<07896> (8799)

her land
<0776>

desolate
<08047>_,

and none shall dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein: they shall remove
<05110> (8804)_,

they shall depart
<01980> (8804)_,

both man
<0120>

and beast
<0929>_.

50:4

In those days
<03117>_,

and in that time
<06256>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

shall come
<0935> (8799)_,

they and the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

together
<03162>_,

going
<01980> (8800)

and weeping
<01058> (8800)_:

they shall go
<03212> (8799)_,

and seek
<01245> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_.

50:5

They shall ask
<07592> (8799)

the way
<01870>

to Zion
<06726>

with their faces
<06440>

thitherward
<02008>_,

[saying], Come
<0935> (8798)_,

and let us join
<03867> (8738)

ourselves to the LORD
<03068>

in a perpetual
<05769>

covenant
<01285>

[that] shall not be forgotten
<07911> (8735)_.

50:6

My people
<05971>

hath been lost
<06> (8802)

sheep
<06629>_:

their shepherds
<07462> (8802)

have caused them to go astray
<08582> (8689)_,

they have turned them away
<07725> (8790) (8675) <07726>

[on] the mountains
<02022>_:

they have gone
<01980> (8804)

from mountain
<02022>

to hill
<01389>_,

they have forgotten
<07911> (8804)

their restingplace
<07258>_.

{restingplace: Heb. place to lie down in}

50:7

All that found
<04672> (8802)

them have devoured
<0398> (8804)

them: and their adversaries
<06862>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

We offend
<0816> (8799)

not, because they have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_,

the habitation
<05116>

of justice
<06664>_,

even the LORD
<03068>_,

the hope
<04723>

of their fathers
<01>_.

50:8

Remove
<05110> (8798)

out of the midst
<08432>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and go forth
<03318> (8798) (8675) <03318> (8799)

out of the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

and be as the he goats
<06260>

before
<06440>

the flocks
<06629>_.

50:9

For, lo, I will raise
<05782> (8688)

and cause to come up
<05927> (8688)

against Babylon
<0894>

an assembly
<06951>

of great
<01419>

nations
<01471>

from the north
<06828>

country
<0776>_:

and they shall set themselves in array
<06186> (8804)

against her; from thence she shall be taken
<03920> (8735)_:

their arrows
<02671>

[shall be] as of a mighty
<01368>

expert man
<07919> (8688) (8676) <07921> (8688)_;

none shall return
<07725> (8799)

in vain
<07387>_.

{expert...: or, destroyer}

50:10

And Chaldea
<03778>

shall be a spoil
<07998>_:

all that spoil
<07997> (8802)

her shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

50:11

Because ye were glad
<08055> (8799)_,

because ye rejoiced
<05937> (8799)_,

O ye destroyers
<08154> (8802)

of mine heritage
<05159>_,

because ye are grown fat
<06335> (8799)

as the heifer
<05697>

at grass
<01877> (8676) <01758> (8801)_,

and bellow
<06670> (8799)

as bulls
<047>_;

{fat: Heb. big, or, corpulent} {bellow...: or, neigh as steeds}

50:12

Your mother
<0517>

shall be sore
<03966>

confounded
<0954> (8804)_;

she that bare
<03205> (8802)

you shall be ashamed
<02659> (8804)_:

behold, the hindermost
<0319>

of the nations
<01471>

[shall be] a wilderness
<04057>_,

a dry land
<06723>_,

and a desert
<06160>_.

50:13

Because of the wrath
<07110>

of the LORD
<03068>

it shall not be inhabited
<03427> (8799)_,

but it shall be wholly desolate
<08077>_:

every one that goeth
<05674> (8802)

by Babylon
<0894>

shall be astonished
<08074> (8799)_,

and hiss
<08319> (8799)

at all her plagues
<04347>_.

50:14

Put yourselves in array
<06186> (8798)

against Babylon
<0894>

round about
<05439>_:

all ye that bend
<01869> (8802)

the bow
<07198>_,

shoot
<03034> (8798)

at her, spare
<02550> (8799)

no arrows
<02671>_:

for she hath sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_.

50:15

Shout
<07321> (8685)

against her round about
<05439>_:

she hath given
<05414> (8804)

her hand
<03027>_:

her foundations
<0803>

are fallen
<05307> (8804)_,

her walls
<02346>

are thrown down
<02040> (8738)_:

for it [is] the vengeance
<05360>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

take vengeance
<05358> (8734)

upon her; as she hath done
<06213> (8804)_,

do
<06213> (8798)

unto her.

50:16

Cut off
<03772> (8798)

the sower
<02232> (8802)

from Babylon
<0894>_,

and him that handleth
<08610> (8802)

the sickle
<04038>

in the time
<06256>

of harvest
<07105>_:

for fear
<06440>

of the oppressing
<03238> (8802)

sword
<02719>

they shall turn
<06437> (8799)

every one
<0376>

to his people
<05971>_,

and they shall flee
<05127> (8799)

every one
<0376>

to his own land
<0776>_.

{sickle; or, scythe}
