Jeremiah 51:1-14

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}
