The word
<01697>

<03068>

spake
<01696> (8765)

<0894>

[and] against the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>

by
<03027>

Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>_.

{by...: Heb. by the hand of Jeremiah}

50:2

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}

50:17

Israel
<03478>

[is] a scattered
<06340> (8801)

sheep
<07716>_;

the lions
<0738>

have driven [him] away
<05080> (8689)_:

first
<07223>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

hath devoured
<0398> (8804)

him; and last
<0314>

this Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

hath broken his bones
<06105> (8765)_.

50:18

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Behold, I will punish
<06485> (8802)

the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

and his land
<0776>_,

as I have punished
<06485> (8804)

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

50:19

And I will bring
<07725> (0)

Israel
<03478>

again
<07725> (8790)

to his habitation
<05116>_,

and he shall feed
<07462> (8804)

on Carmel
<03760>

and Bashan
<01316>_,

and his soul
<05315>

shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)

upon mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>

and Gilead
<01568>_.

50:20

In those days
<03117>_,

and in that time
<06256>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the iniquity
<05771>

of Israel
<03478>

shall be sought for
<01245> (8792)_,

and [there shall be] none; and the sins
<02403>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and they shall not be found
<04672> (8735)_:

for I will pardon
<05545> (8799)

them whom I reserve
<07604> (8686)_.

50:21

Go up
<05927> (8798)

against the land
<0776>

of Merathaim
<04850>_,

[even] against it, and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Pekod
<06489>_:

waste
<02717> (8798)

and utterly destroy
<02763> (8687)

after
<0310>

them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee. {of Merathaim: or, of the rebels} {Pekod: or, Visitation}

50:22

A sound
<06963>

of battle
<04421>

[is] in the land
<0776>_,

and of great
<01419>

destruction
<07667>_.

50:23

How is the hammer
<06360>

of the whole earth
<0776>

cut asunder
<01438> (8738)

and broken
<07665> (8735)_!

how is Babylon
<0894>

become a desolation
<08047>

among the nations
<01471>_!

50:24

I have laid a snare
<03369> (8804)

for thee, and thou art also taken
<03920> (8738)_,

O Babylon
<0894>_,

and thou wast not aware
<03045> (8804)_:

thou art found
<04672> (8738)_,

and also caught
<08610> (8738)_,

because thou hast striven
<01624> (8694)

against the LORD
<03068>_.

50:25

The LORD
<03068>

hath opened
<06605> (8804)

his armoury
<0214>_,

and hath brought forth
<03318> (8686)

the weapons
<03627>

of his indignation
<02195>_:

for this [is] the work
<04399>

of the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

of hosts
<06635>

in the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>_.

50:26

Come
<0935> (8798)

against her from the utmost border
<07093>_,

open
<06605> (8798)

her storehouses
<03965>_:

cast her up
<05549> (8798)

as heaps
<06194>_,

and destroy her utterly
<02763> (8685)_:

let nothing of her be left
<07611>_.

{from...: Heb. from the end} {cast...: or, tread her}

50:27

Slay
<02717> (8798)

all her bullocks
<06499>_;

let them go down
<03381> (8799)

to the slaughter
<02874>_:

woe
<01945>

unto them! for their day
<03117>

is come
<0935> (8802)_,

the time
<06256>

of their visitation
<06486>_.

50:28

The voice
<06963>

of them that flee
<05127> (8801)

and escape out
<06405>

of the land
<0776>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

to declare
<05046> (8687)

in Zion
<06726>

the vengeance
<05360>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

the vengeance
<05360>

of his temple
<01964>_.

50:29

Call together
<08085> (8685)

the archers
<07228>

against Babylon
<0894>_:

all ye that bend
<01869> (8802)

the bow
<07198>_,

camp
<02583> (8798)

against it round about
<05439>_;

let none thereof escape
<06413>_:

recompense
<07999> (8761)

her according to her work
<06467>_;

according to all that she hath done
<06213> (8804)_,

do
<06213> (8798)

unto her: for she hath been proud
<02102> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_,

against the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

50:30

Therefore shall her young men
<0970>

fall
<05307> (8799)

in the streets
<07339>_,

and all her men
<0582>

of war
<04421>

shall be cut off
<01826> (8735)

in that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

50:31

Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud
<02087>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

of hosts
<06635>_:

for thy day
<03117>

is come
<0935> (8802)_,

the time
<06256>

[that] I will visit
<06485> (8804)

thee. {most...: Heb. pride}

50:32

And the most proud
<02087>

shall stumble
<03782> (8804)

and fall
<05307> (8804)_,

and none shall raise him up
<06965> (8688)_:

and I will kindle
<03341> (8689)

a fire
<0784>

in his cities
<05892>_,

and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

all round about
<05439>

him. {the...: Heb. pride}

50:33

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

The children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

and the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

[were] oppressed
<06231> (8803)

together
<03162>_:

and all that took them captives
<07617> (8802)

held them fast
<02388> (8689)_;

they refused
<03985> (8765)

to let them go
<07971> (8763)_.

50:34

Their Redeemer
<01350> (8802)

[is] strong
<02389>_;

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] his name
<08034>_:

he shall throughly
<07378> (8800)

plead
<07378> (8799)

their cause
<07379>_,

that he may give rest
<07280> (8689)

to the land
<0776>_,

and disquiet
<07264> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Babylon
<0894>_.

50:35

A sword
<02719>

[is] upon the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and upon her princes
<08269>_,

and upon her wise
<02450>

[men].

50:36

A sword
<02719>

[is] upon the liars
<0907>_;

and they shall dote
<02973> (8738)_:

a sword
<02719>

[is] upon her mighty men
<01368>_;

and they shall be dismayed
<02865> (8804)_.

{liars: or, chief stays: Heb. bars}

50:37

A sword
<02719>

[is] upon their horses
<05483>_,

and upon their chariots
<07393>_,

and upon all the mingled people
<06153>

that [are] in the midst
<08432>

of her; and they shall become as women
<0802>_:

a sword
<02719>

[is] upon her treasures
<0214>_;

and they shall be robbed
<0962> (8795)_.

50:38

A drought
<02721>

[is] upon her waters
<04325>_;

and they shall be dried up
<03001> (8804)_:

for it [is] the land
<0776>

of graven images
<06456>_,

and they are mad
<01984> (8704)

upon [their] idols
<0367>_.

50:39

Therefore the wild beasts of the desert
<06728>

with the wild beasts of the islands
<0338>

shall dwell
<03427> (8799)

[there], and the owls
<01323> <03284>

shall dwell
<03427> (8804)

therein: and it shall be no more inhabited
<03427> (8799)

for ever
<05331>_;

neither shall it be dwelt
<07931> (8799)

in from generation
<01755>

to generation
<01755>_.

50:40

As God
<0430>

overthrew
<04114>

Sodom
<05467>

and Gomorrah
<06017>

and the neighbour
<07934>

[cities] thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

[so] shall no man
<0376>

abide
<03427> (8799)

there, neither shall any son
<01121>

of man
<0120>

dwell
<01481> (8799)

therein.

50:41

Behold, a people
<05971>

shall come
<0935> (8802)

from the north
<06828>_,

and a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>_,

and many
<07227>

kings
<04428>

shall be raised up
<05782> (8735)

from the coasts
<03411>

of the earth
<0776>_.

50:42

They shall hold
<02388> (8686)

the bow
<07198>

and the lance
<03591>_:

they [are] cruel
<0394>_,

and will not shew mercy
<07355> (8762)_:

their voice
<06963>

shall roar
<01993> (8799)

like the sea
<03220>_,

and they shall ride
<07392> (8799)

upon horses
<05483>_,

[every one] put in array
<06186> (8803)_,

like a man
<0376>

to the battle
<04421>_,

against thee, O daughter
<01323>

of Babylon
<0894>_.

50:43

The king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

hath heard
<08085> (8804)

the report
<08088>

of them, and his hands
<03027>

waxed feeble
<07503> (8804)_:

anguish
<06869>

took hold
<02388> (8689)

of him, [and] pangs
<02427>

as of a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.

50:44

Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)

like a lion
<0738>

from the swelling
<01347>

of Jordan
<03383>

unto the habitation
<05116>

of the strong
<0386>_:

but I will make
<07323> (0)

them suddenly
<07280> (8686)

run away
<07323> (8686) (8675) <07323> (8799)

from her: and who [is] a chosen
<0977> (8803)

[man, that] I may appoint
<06485> (8799)

over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time
<03259> (8686)_?

and who [is] that shepherd
<07462> (8802)

that will stand
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

me? {appoint me...: or, convent me to plead?}

50:45

Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the counsel
<06098>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that he hath taken
<03289> (8804)

against Babylon
<0894>_;

and his purposes
<04284>_,

that he hath purposed
<02803> (8804)

against the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:

Surely the least
<06810>

of the flock
<06629>

shall draw them out
<05498> (8799)_:

surely he shall make [their] habitation
<05116>

desolate
<08074> (8686)

with them.
