Jeremiah:50:11-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Because ye were glad ,
because ye rejoiced ,
O ye destroyers of mine heritage ,
because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass ,
and bellow as bulls ;
*
Your mother shall be sore confounded ;
she that bare you shall be ashamed :
behold ,
the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness ,
a dry land ,
and a desert .
*
Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited ,
but it shall be wholly desolate :
every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished ,
and hiss at all her plagues .
*
Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about :
all ye that bend the bow ,
shoot at her ,
spare no arrows :
for she hath sinned against the LORD .
*
Shout against her round about :
she hath given her hand :
her foundations are fallen ,
her walls are thrown down :
for it is the vengeance of the LORD :
take vengeance upon her ;
as she hath done ,
do unto her .
*
Cut off the sower from Babylon ,
and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest :
for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people ,
and they shall flee every one to his own land .
*
Israel is a scattered sheep ;
the lions have driven him away :
first the king of Assyria hath devoured him ;
and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones .
*
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
Behold ,
I will punish the king of Babylon and his land ,
as I have punished the king of Assyria .
*
And I will bring #
Israel again to his habitation ,
and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan ,
and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead Gil #
ad #.
*
In those days ,
and in that time ,
saith the LORD ,
the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for ,
and there shall be none ;
and the sins of Judah ,
and they shall not be found :
for I will pardon them whom I reserve .
*
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 .
