they have remained
<03427> (8804)

in [their] holds
<04679>_:

their might
<01369>

vessel
<03627>_,

<01104> (8804)

like a dragon
<08577>_,

he hath filled
<04390> (8765)

his belly
<03770>

with my delicates

he hath cast me out

51:35

The violence
<02555>

thy cause
<07379>_,

and take vengeance
<05358> (8765)

for thee
<05360>_;

and I will dry up
<02717> (8689)

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

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

and sleep
<03462> (8804)

a perpetual

51:40

I will bring them down

like lambs
<03733>

to the slaughter
<02873> (8800)_,

like rams
<0352>

with he goats
<06260>_.

51:41

How is Sheshach

<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>_:

Her cities
<05892>

are a desolation
<08047>_,

and a wilderness
<06160>_,

a land
<0776>

wherein no man
<0376>

dwelleth
<03427> (8799)_,

neither doth [any] son

51:44

And I will punish

Bel

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

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

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
