Jeremiah 50:23-46

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.

50:46

At the noise
<06963>

of the taking
<08610> (8738)

of Babylon
<0894>

the earth
<0776>

is moved
<07493> (8735)_,

and the cry
<02201>

is heard
<08085> (8738)

among the nations
<01471>_.
