The word
which
the LORD
spoke
concerning
Babylon,
the land
of the Chaldeans,
through
Jeremiah
the prophet:
2
"Declare
and proclaim
among the nations.
Proclaim
it and lift
up a standard.
Do not conceal
it but say,
'
Babylon
has been
captured,
Bel
has been
put to shame,
Marduk
has been
shattered;
Her images
have been put to shame,
her idols
have been shattered.'
3
"For a nation
has come
up against
her out of the north;
it will make
her land
an object of horror,
and there will be no
inhabitant
in it. Both
man
and beast
have wandered
off, they have gone
away!
4
"In those
days
and at that time,"
declares
the LORD,
"the sons
of Israel
will come,
both they and the sons
of Judah
as well;
they will go
along weeping
as they go,
and it will be the LORD
their God
they will seek.
5
"They will ask
for the way
to Zion,
turning their faces
in its direction;
they will come
that they may join
themselves to the LORD
in an everlasting
covenant
that will not be forgotten.
6
"My people
have become
lost
sheep;
Their shepherds
have led them astray.
They have made them turn aside
on the mountains;
They have gone
along from mountain
to hill
And have forgotten
their resting place.
7
"All
who came
upon them have devoured
them; And their adversaries
have said,
'
We are not guilty,
Inasmuch
as they have sinned
against the LORD
who is the habitation
of righteousness,
Even the LORD,
the hope
of their fathers.'
8
"Wander
away from the midst
of Babylon
And go forth
from the land
of the Chaldeans;
Be also like male goats
at the head
of the flock.
9
"For behold,
I am going to arouse
and bring
up against
Babylon
A horde
of great
nations
from the land
of the north,
And they will draw up their battle lines
against her; From there
she will be taken captive.
Their arrows
will be like an expert
warrior
Who does not return
empty-handed.
10
"Chaldea
will become
plunder;
All
who plunder
her will have enough,"
declares
the LORD.
11
"
Because
you are glad,
because
you are jubilant,
O you who pillage
My heritage,
Because
you skip about
like a threshing
heifer
And neigh
like stallions,
12
Your mother
will be greatly
ashamed,
She who gave you birth
will be humiliated.
Behold,
she will be the least
of the nations,
A wilderness,
a parched land
and a desert.
13
"Because
of the indignation
of the LORD
she will not be inhabited,
But she will be completely
desolate;
Everyone
who passes
by Babylon
will be horrified
And will hiss
because
of all
her wounds.
14
"Draw up your battle lines
against
Babylon
on every side,
All
you who bend
the bow;
Shoot
at her, do not be sparing
with your arrows,
For she has sinned
against
the LORD.
15
"Raise your battle cry
against
her on every side!
She has given
herself
up, her pillars
have fallen,
Her walls
have been torn down.
For this
is the vengeance
of the LORD:
Take vengeance
on her; As she has done
to others, so do
to her.
16
"Cut off
the sower
from Babylon
And the one who wields
the sickle
at the time
of harvest;
From before
the sword
of the oppressor
They will each
turn back
to his own people
And they will each
flee
to his own land.
17
"Israel
is a scattered
flock,
the lions
have driven them away.
The first one
who devoured
him was the
king
of Assyria,
and this
last one
who has broken his bones
is Nebuchadnezzar
king
of Babylon.
18
"Therefore
thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel:
'Behold,
I am going to punish
the king
of Babylon
and his land,
just
as I punished
the king
of Assyria.
19
'
And I will bring
Israel
back
to his pasture
and he will graze
on Carmel
and Bashan,
and his desire
will be satisfied
in the hill country
of Ephraim
and Gilead.
20
'
In those
days
and at that time,'
declares
the LORD,
'search will be made
for the iniquity
of Israel,
but there will be none;
and for the sins
of Judah,
but they will not be found;
for I will pardon
those whom
I leave as a remnant.'
21
"Against
the land
of Merathaim,
go
up against
it, And against
the inhabitants
of Pekod.
Slay
and utterly destroy
them," declares
the LORD,
"And do
according to all
that I have commanded
you.
22
"The noise
of battle
is in the land,
And great
destruction.
23
"
How
the hammer
of the whole
earth
Has been cut off
and broken!
How
Babylon
has become
An object of horror
among the nations!
24
"I set a snare
for you and you were also
caught,
O Babylon,
While you yourself
were not aware;
You have been found
and also
seized
Because
you have engaged in conflict
with the LORD."
25
The LORD
has opened
His armory
And has brought forth
the weapons
of His indignation,
For it is a work
of the Lord
GOD
of hosts
In the land
of the Chaldeans.
26
Come
to her from the farthest border;
Open
up her barns,
Pile
her up like
heaps
And utterly destroy
her, Let nothing
be left
to her.
27
Put
all
her young bulls
to the sword;
Let them go down
to the slaughter!
Woe
be upon them, for their day
has come,
The time
of their punishment.
28
There is a sound
of fugitives
and refugees
from the land
of Babylon,
To declare
in Zion
the vengeance
of the LORD
our God,
Vengeance
for His temple.
29
"Summon
many
against
Babylon,
All
those who bend
the bow:
Encamp
against
her on every side,
Let there be no
escape
. Repay
her according to her work;
According to all
that she has done,
so do
to her; For she has become arrogant
against
the LORD,
Against
the Holy One
of Israel.
30
"Therefore
her young men
will fall
in her streets,
And all
her men
of war
will be silenced
in that day,"
declares
the LORD.
31
"Behold,
I am against
you, O arrogant
one," Declares
the Lord
GOD
of hosts,
"For your day
has come,
The time
when I will punish
you.
32
"The arrogant
one will stumble
and fall
With no one
to raise
him up; And I will set
fire
to his cities
And it will devour
all
his environs."
33
Thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"The sons
of Israel
are oppressed,
And the sons
of Judah
as well;
And all
who took them captive
have held them fast,
They have refused
to let them go.
34
"Their Redeemer
is strong,
the LORD
of hosts
is His name;
He will vigorously
plead
their case
So
that He may bring rest
to the earth,
But turmoil
to the inhabitants
of Babylon.
35
"A sword
against
the Chaldeans,"
declares
the LORD,
"
And
against
the inhabitants
of Babylon
And
against
her officials
and her wise men!
36
"
A sword
against
the oracle priests,
and they will become fools!
A sword
against
her mighty men,
and they will be shattered!
37
"
A sword
against
their horses
and
against
their chariots
And
against
all
the foreigners
who
are in the midst
of her, And they will become
women!
A sword
against
her treasures,
and they will be plundered!
38
"A drought
on her waters,
and they will be dried
up! For it is a land
of idols,
And they are mad
over fearsome
idols.
39
"Therefore
the desert creatures
will live
there along
with the jackals;
The ostriches
also
will live
in it, And it will never
again
be inhabited
Or dwelt
in from generation
to generation.
40
"As when God
overthrew
Sodom
And Gomorrah
with its neighbors,"
declares
the LORD,
"No
man
will live
there,
Nor
will any son
of
man
reside
in it.
41
"Behold,
a people
is coming
from the north,
And a great
nation
and many
kings
Will be aroused
from the remote parts
of the earth.
42
"They seize
their bow
and javelin;
They are cruel
and have
no
mercy.
Their voice
roars
like the sea;
And they ride
on horses,
Marshalled
like a man
for the battle
Against
you, O daughter
of Babylon.
43
"The king
of Babylon
has heard
the report
about them, And his hands
hang limp;
Distress
has gripped
him, Agony
like a woman in childbirth.
44
"Behold,
one will come
up like a lion
from the thicket
of the Jordan
to a perennially
watered pasture;
for in an instant
I will make them run
away
from it, and whoever
is chosen
I will appoint
over
it. For
who
is like
Me, and
who
will summon
Me into court? And
who
then
is the shepherd
who
can stand
before
Me?"
45
Therefore
hear
the plan
of the LORD
which
He has planned
against
Babylon,
and His purposes
which
He has purposed
against
the land
of the Chaldeans:
surely
they will drag them off,
even the little ones
of the flock;
surely
He will make
their pasture
desolate
because
of them.
46
At the shout,
"Babylon
has been seized!"
the earth
is shaken,
and an outcry
is heard
among the nations.
