Jeremiah 51:33-58

51:33

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

The daughter
<01323>

of Babylon
<0894>

[is] like a threshingfloor
<01637>_,

[it is] time
<06256>

to thresh
<01869> (8687)

her: yet a little while
<04592>_,

and the time
<06256>

of her harvest
<07105>

shall come
<0935> (8804)_.

{it is...: or, in the time that he thresheth her}

51:34

Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

hath devoured
<0398> (8804)

me, he hath crushed
<02000> (8804)

me, he hath made
<03322> (8689)

me an empty
<07385>

vessel
<03627>_,

he hath swallowed me up
<01104> (8804)

like a dragon
<08577>_,

he hath filled
<04390> (8765)

his belly
<03770>

with my delicates
<05730>_,

he hath cast me out
<01740> (8689)_.

51:35

The violence
<02555>

done to me and to my flesh
<07607>

[be] upon Babylon
<0894>_,

shall the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Zion
<06726>

say
<0559> (8799)_;

and my blood
<01818>

upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Chaldea
<03778>_,

shall Jerusalem
<03389>

say
<0559> (8799)_.

{The violence...: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

51:36

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I will plead
<07378> (8801)

thy cause
<07379>_,

and take vengeance
<05358> (8765)

for thee
<05360>_;

and I will dry up
<02717> (8689)

her sea
<03220>_,

and make her springs
<04726>

dry
<03001> (8689)_.

51:37

And Babylon
<0894>

shall become heaps
<01530>_,

a dwellingplace
<04583>

for dragons
<08577>_,

an astonishment
<08047>_,

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
<04960>_,

and I will make them drunken
<07937> (8689)_,

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

and sleep
<03462> (8804)

a perpetual
<05769>

sleep
<08142>_,

and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

51:40

I will bring them down
<03381> (8686)

like lambs
<03733>

to the slaughter
<02873> (8800)_,

like rams
<0352>

with he goats
<06260>_.

51:41

How is Sheshach
<08347>

taken
<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>_:

she is covered
<03680> (8738)

with the multitude
<01995>

of the waves
<01530>

thereof.

51:43

Her cities
<05892>

are a desolation
<08047>_,

a dry
<06723>

land
<0776>_,

and a wilderness
<06160>_,

a land
<0776>

wherein no man
<0376>

dwelleth
<03427> (8799)_,

neither doth [any] son
<01121>

of man
<0120>

pass
<05674> (8799)

thereby
<02004>_.

51:44

And I will punish
<06485> (8804)

Bel
<01078>

in Babylon
<0894>_,

and I will bring forth
<03318> (8689)

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
<05971>_,

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
<02740>

anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

51:46

And lest your heart
<03824>

faint
<07401> (8735)_,

and ye fear
<03372> (8799)

for the rumour
<08052>

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
<04910> (8802)_.

{lest: or, let not}

51:47

Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)

upon the graven images
<06456>

of Babylon
<0894>_:

and her whole land
<0776>

shall be confounded
<0954> (8799)_,

and all her slain
<02491>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

in the midst
<08432>

of her. {do...: Heb. visit upon}

51:48

Then the heaven
<08064>

and the earth
<0776>_,

and all that [is] therein, shall sing
<07442> (8765)

for Babylon
<0894>_:

for the spoilers
<07703> (8802)

shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto her from the north
<06828>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

51:49

As
<01571>

Babylon
<0894>

[hath caused] the slain
<02491>

of Israel
<03478>

to fall
<05307> (8800)_,

so at Babylon
<0894>

shall fall
<05307> (8804)

the slain
<02491>

of all the earth
<0776>_.

{As...: or, Both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain of Israel, and with Babylon, etc} {the earth: or, the country}

51:50

Ye that have escaped
<06405>

the sword
<02719>_,

go away
<01980> (8798)_,

stand not still
<05975> (8799)_:

remember
<02142> (8798)

the LORD
<03068>

afar off
<07350>_,

and let Jerusalem
<03389>

come
<05927> (8799)

into your mind
<03824>_.

51:51

We are confounded
<0954> (8804)_,

because we have heard
<08085> (8804)

reproach
<02781>_:

shame
<03639>

hath covered
<03680> (8765)

our faces
<06440>_:

for strangers
<02114> (8801)

are come
<0935> (8804)

into the sanctuaries
<04720>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_.

51:52

Wherefore, behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)

upon her graven images
<06456>_:

and through all her land
<0776>

the wounded
<02491>

shall groan
<0602> (8799)_.

51:53

Though Babylon
<0894>

should mount up
<05927> (8799)

to heaven
<08064>_,

and though she should fortify
<01219> (8762)

the height
<04791>

of her strength
<05797>_,

[yet]
<0227>

from me shall spoilers
<07703> (8802)

come
<0935> (8799)

unto her, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

51:54

A sound
<06963>

of a cry
<02201>

[cometh] from Babylon
<0894>_,

and great
<01419>

destruction
<07667>

from the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:

51:55

Because the LORD
<03068>

hath spoiled
<07703> (8802)

Babylon
<0894>_,

and destroyed
<06> (8765)

out of her the great
<01419>

voice
<06963>_;

when her waves
<01530>

do roar
<01993> (8804)

like great
<07227>

waters
<04325>_,

a noise
<07588>

of their voice
<06963>

is uttered
<05414> (8738)_:

51:56

Because the spoiler
<07703> (8802)

is come
<0935> (8804)

upon her, [even] upon Babylon
<0894>_,

and her mighty men
<01368>

are taken
<03920> (8738)_,

every one of their bows
<07198>

is broken
<02865> (8765)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

God
<0410>

of recompences
<01578>

shall surely
<07999> (8763)

requite
<07999> (8762)_.

51:57

And I will make drunk
<07937> (8689)

her princes
<08269>_,

and her wise
<02450>

[men], her captains
<06346>_,

and her rulers
<05461>_,

and her mighty men
<01368>_:

and they shall sleep
<03462> (8804)

a perpetual
<05769>

sleep
<08142>_,

and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the King
<04428>_,

whose name
<08034>

[is] the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

51:58

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

The broad
<07342>

walls
<02346>

of Babylon
<0894>

shall be utterly
<06209> (8771)

broken
<06209> (8698)_,

and her high
<01364>

gates
<08179>

shall be burned
<03341> (8799)

with fire
<0784>_;

and the people
<05971>

shall labour
<03021> (8799)

in vain
<07385>_,

and the folk
<03816>

in
<01767>

the fire
<0784>_,

and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.

{The broad...: or, The walls of broad Babylon} {broken: or, made naked}
