updv Jeremiah:50:1-51:64
updv@Jeremiah:50:1 @ The word that Yahweh spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
updv@Jeremiah:50:2 @ Declare(note:){+}(:note) among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and do not conceal: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed; her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.
updv@Jeremiah:50:3 @ For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which will make her land desolate, and none will dwell in it: they have fled, they have gone, both man and beast.
updv@Jeremiah:50:4 @ In those days, and in that time, says Yahweh, the sons of Israel will come, they and the sons of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping, and will seek Yahweh their God.
updv@Jeremiah:50:5 @ They will inquire concerning Zion with their faces toward there, [saying], Come(note:){+}(:note), and join yourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.
updv@Jeremiah:50:6 @ My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting-place.
updv@Jeremiah:50:7 @ All who found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Yahweh, the habitation of righteousness, even Yahweh, the hope of their fathers.
updv@Jeremiah:50:8 @ Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.
updv@Jeremiah:50:9 @ For, look, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they will set themselves in array against her; from there she will be taken: their arrows will be as a mighty man taking away children, they will not return in vain.
updv@Jeremiah:50:10 @ And Chaldea will be a prey: all who prey on her will be satisfied, says Yahweh.
updv@Jeremiah:50:11 @ Because you(note:){+}(:note) are glad, because you{+} rejoice, O you{+} who plunder my heritage, because you{+} are wanton as a heifer that treads out [the grain], and neigh as strong horses;
updv@Jeremiah:50:12 @ your(note:){+}(:note) mother will be completely put to shame; she who bore you{+} will be confounded: look, she will be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
updv@Jeremiah:50:13 @ Because of the wrath of Yahweh she will not be inhabited, but she will be wholly desolate: everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
updv@Jeremiah:50:14 @ Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all you(note:){+}(:note) who bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against Yahweh.
updv@Jeremiah:50:15 @ Shout against her round about: she has submitted herself; her bulwarks have fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of Yahweh: take vengeance on her; as she has done, do to her.
updv@Jeremiah:50:16 @ Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they will turn every one to his people, and they will flee every one to his own land.
updv@Jeremiah:50:17 @ Israel is a hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first, the king of Assyria devoured him; and now at last Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.
updv@Jeremiah:50:18 @ Therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: Look, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
updv@Jeremiah:50:19 @ And I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he will feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
updv@Jeremiah:50:20 @ In those days, and in that time, says Yahweh, the iniquity of Israel will be sought for, and there will be none; and the sins of Judah, and they will not be found: for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.
updv@Jeremiah:50:21 @ Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: slay and completely destroy after them, says Yahweh, and do according to all that I have commanded you.
updv@Jeremiah:50:22 @ A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
updv@Jeremiah:50:23 @ How is the hammer of the whole earth cut apart and broken! How has Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
updv@Jeremiah:50:24 @ I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have striven against Yahweh.
updv@Jeremiah:50:25 @ Yahweh has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, has a work [to do] in the land of the Chaldeans.
updv@Jeremiah:50:26 @ Come against her from the utmost border; open her storehouses; cast her up as heaps, and destroy her completely; let nothing of her be left.
updv@Jeremiah:50:27 @ Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their visitation.
updv@Jeremiah:50:28 @ The voice of those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Yahweh our God, the vengeance of his temple.
updv@Jeremiah:50:29 @ Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow; encamp against her round about; let none of her escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against Yahweh, against the Holy One of Israel.
updv@Jeremiah:50:30 @ Therefore will her young men fall in her streets, and all her men of war will be brought to silence in that day, says Yahweh.
updv@Jeremiah:50:31 @ Look, I am against you, O you proud one, says the Lord, Yahweh of hosts; for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.
updv@Jeremiah:50:32 @ And the proud one will stumble and fall, and none will raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour all who are round about him.
updv@Jeremiah:50:33 @ Thus says Yahweh of hosts: The sons of Israel and the sons of Judah are oppressed together; and all who took them captive hold them fast; they refuse to let them go.
updv@Jeremiah:50:34 @ Their Redeemer is strong; Yahweh of hosts is his name: he will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
updv@Jeremiah:50:35 @ A sword is on the Chaldeans, says Yahweh, and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her princes, and on her wise men.
updv@Jeremiah:50:36 @ A sword is on the boasters, and they will become fools; a sword is on her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.
updv@Jeremiah:50:37 @ A sword is on their horses, and on their chariots, and on all the mingled people who are in the midst of her; and they will become as women: a sword is on her treasures, and they will be robbed.
updv@Jeremiah:50:38 @ A drought is on her waters, and they will be dried up; for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad over idols.
updv@Jeremiah:50:39 @ Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wolves will dwell there, and the ostriches will dwell in it: and it will be inhabited no more forever; neither will it be stayed in from generation to generation.
updv@Jeremiah:50:40 @ As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring cities, says Yahweh, so a man will not dwell there, neither will any son of man sojourn in it.
updv@Jeremiah:50:41 @ Look, a people comes from the north; and a great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
updv@Jeremiah:50:42 @ They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
updv@Jeremiah:50:43 @ The king of Babylon has heard the news of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of him, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail.
updv@Jeremiah:50:44 @ Look, [the enemy] will come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd that can stand before me?
updv@Jeremiah:50:45 @ Therefore hear(note:){+}(:note) the counsel of Yahweh, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they will drag them away, [even] the little ones of the flock; surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
updv@Jeremiah:50:46 @ At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembles, and the cry is heard among the nations.
updv@Jeremiah:51:1 @ Thus says Yahweh: Look, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Leb-kamai, a destroying wind.
updv@Jeremiah:51:2 @ And I will send to Babylon strangers, that will winnow her; and they will empty her land: for in the day of trouble they will be against her round about.
updv@Jeremiah:51:3 @ Against [him who] bends let the archer bend his bow, and against [him who] lifts himself up in his coat of mail: and don't spare(note:){+}(:note) her young men; destroy{+} completely all her host.
updv@Jeremiah:51:4 @ And they will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
updv@Jeremiah:51:5 @ For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Yahweh of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
updv@Jeremiah:51:6 @ Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; don't be cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Yahweh's vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.
updv@Jeremiah:51:7 @ Babylon has been a golden cup in Yahweh's hand, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drank of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
updv@Jeremiah:51:8 @ Babylon has suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if perhaps she may be healed.
updv@Jeremiah:51:9 @ We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
updv@Jeremiah:51:10 @ Yahweh has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Yahweh our God.
updv@Jeremiah:51:11 @ Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: Yahweh has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of Yahweh, the vengeance of his temple.
updv@Jeremiah:51:12 @ Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Yahweh has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
updv@Jeremiah:51:13 @ O you who stay on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
updv@Jeremiah:51:14 @ Yahweh of hosts has sworn by himself, [saying], Surely I will fill you with man, as with the cankerworm; and they will lift up a shout against you.
updv@Jeremiah:51:15 @ He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he has stretched out the heavens:
updv@Jeremiah:51:16 @ when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
updv@Jeremiah:51:17 @ Everyone among man has become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
updv@Jeremiah:51:18 @ They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they will perish.
updv@Jeremiah:51:19 @ The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things, and the rod of his inheritance: Yahweh of hosts is his name.
updv@Jeremiah:51:20 @ You are my battle-ax and weapons of war: and with you I will break in pieces the nations; and with you I will destroy kingdoms;
updv@Jeremiah:51:21 @ and with you I will break in pieces the horse and his rider;
updv@Jeremiah:51:22 @ and with you I will break in pieces the chariot and him who rides in it; and with you I will break in pieces man and woman; and with you I will break in pieces the old man and the youth; and with you I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin;
updv@Jeremiah:51:23 @ and with you I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with you I will break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke [of oxen]; and with you I will break in pieces governors and deputies.
updv@Jeremiah:51:24 @ And I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your(note:){+}(:note) sight, says Yahweh.
updv@Jeremiah:51:25 @ Look, I am against you, O destroying mountain, says Yahweh, which destroys all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand on you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
updv@Jeremiah:51:26 @ And they will not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you will be desolate forever, says Yahweh.
updv@Jeremiah:51:27 @ Set(note:){+}(:note) up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough cankerworm.
updv@Jeremiah:51:28 @ Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, their governors, and all their deputies, and all the land of their dominion.
updv@Jeremiah:51:29 @ And the land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
updv@Jeremiah:51:30 @ The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might has failed; they have become as women: her dwelling-places are set on fire; her bars are broken.
updv@Jeremiah:51:31 @ One post will run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter:
updv@Jeremiah:51:32 @ and the passages are seized, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are frightened.
updv@Jeremiah:51:33 @ For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest will come for her.
updv@Jeremiah:51:34 @ Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me, he has made me an empty vessel, he has, like a monster, swallowed me up, he has filled his maw with my delicacies; he has cast me out.
updv@Jeremiah:51:35 @ The violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon, will the inhabitant of Zion say; and, My blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea, will Jerusalem say.
updv@Jeremiah:51:36 @ Therefore thus says Yahweh: Look, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
updv@Jeremiah:51:37 @ And Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
updv@Jeremiah:51:38 @ They will roar together like young lions; they will growl as lions' whelps.
updv@Jeremiah:51:39 @ When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awaken, says Yahweh.
updv@Jeremiah:51:40 @ I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
updv@Jeremiah:51:41 @ How is Sheshach taken! And the praise of the whole earth seized! How has Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
updv@Jeremiah:51:42 @ The sea has come up on Babylon; she's covered with the multitude of its waves.
updv@Jeremiah:51:43 @ Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass by it.
updv@Jeremiah:51:44 @ And I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up; and the nations will not flow anymore to him: yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.
updv@Jeremiah:51:45 @ My people, go(note:){+}(:note) out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of Yahweh.
updv@Jeremiah:51:46 @ Or else your(note:){+}(:note) heart will be faint, and you{+} will fear for the news that will be heard in the land; for news will come one year, and after that in another year [will come] news, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
updv@Jeremiah:51:47 @ Therefore, look, the days come, that I will execute judgment on the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land will be confounded; and all her slain will fall in the midst of her.
updv@Jeremiah:51:48 @ Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, will sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers will come to her from the north, says Yahweh.
updv@Jeremiah:51:49 @ As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon will fall the slain of all the land.
updv@Jeremiah:51:50 @ You(note:){+}(:note) who have escaped the sword, go{+}, don't stand still; remember Yahweh from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your{+} mind.
updv@Jeremiah:51:51 @ We are confounded, because we have heard reproach; confusion has covered our faces: for strangers have come into the sanctuaries of Yahweh's house.
updv@Jeremiah:51:52 @ Therefore, look, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will execute judgment on her graven images; and through all her land the wounded will groan.
updv@Jeremiah:51:53 @ Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me will destroyers come to her, says Yahweh.
updv@Jeremiah:51:54 @ The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
updv@Jeremiah:51:55 @ For Yahweh lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is uttered:
updv@Jeremiah:51:56 @ for the destroyer has come upon her, even on Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for Yahweh is a God of recompenses, he will surely requite.
updv@Jeremiah:51:57 @ And I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awaken, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of hosts.
updv@Jeremiah:51:58 @ Thus says Yahweh of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon will be completely overthrown, and her high gates will be burned with fire; and the peoples will labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.
updv@Jeremiah:51:59 @ The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
updv@Jeremiah:51:60 @ And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
updv@Jeremiah:51:61 @ And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
updv@Jeremiah:51:62 @ and say, O Yahweh, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none will dwell in it, neither man nor beast, but that it will be desolate forever.
updv@Jeremiah:51:63 @ And it will be, when you have made an end of reading this book, that you will bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates:
updv@Jeremiah:51:64 @ and you will say, Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; (and they will be weary). Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
