Jeremiah:50:21-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Go up against the land of Merathaim ,
even against it ,
and against the inhabitants of Pekod :
waste and utterly destroy after them ,
saith the LORD ,
and do according to all that I have commanded thee .
*
A sound of battle is in the land ,
and of great destruction .
*
How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken !
how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations !
*
I have laid a snare for thee ,
and thou art also taken ,
O Babylon ,
and thou wast not aware :
thou art found ,
and also caught ,
because thou hast striven against the LORD .
*
The LORD hath opened his armoury ,
and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation za #
am #:
for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans .
*
Come against her from the utmost border ,
open her storehouses ma #
abuwc #:
cast her up as heaps ,
and destroy her utterly :
let nothing of her be left sh @#
eriyth #.
*
Slay all her bullocks ;
let them go down to the slaughter :
woe unto them !
for their day is come ,
the time of their visitation .
*
The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon ,
to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God ,
the vengeance of his temple .
*
Call together the archers against Babylon :
all ye that bend the bow ,
camp against it round about ;
let none thereof escape :
recompense her according to her work po #
al #;
according to all that she hath done ,
do unto her :
for she hath been proud against the LORD ,
against the Holy One of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets ,
and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day ,
saith the LORD .
*
Behold ,
I am against thee ,
O thou most proud ,
saith the Lord GOD of hosts :
for thy day is come ,
the time that I will visit thee .
*
And the most proud shall stumble and fall ,
and none shall raise him up :
and I will kindle a fire in his cities ,
and it shall devour all round about him .
