1. Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up against Babylon, And the inhabitants of Leb -- My withstanders, A destroying wind,
|
1. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Behold H2009 , I will raise up H5782 against H5921 Babylon H894 , and against H413 them that dwell H3427 in the midst H3820 of them that rise up H6965 against me , a destroying H7843 wind H7307 ;
|
|
2. And I have sent to Babylon fanners, And they have fanned it, and they empty its land, For they have been against it, Round about -- in the day of evil.
|
2. And will send H7971 unto Babylon H894 fanners H2114 , that shall fan H2219 her , and shall empty H1238 H853 her land H776 : for H3588 in the day H3117 of trouble H7451 they shall be H1961 against H5921 her round about H4480 H5439 .
|
|
3. Let not the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, Nor have ye pity on her young men, Devote ye to destruction all her host.
|
3. Against H413 him that bendeth H1869 let the archer H1869 bend H1869 his bow H7198 , and against H413 him that lifteth himself up H5927 in his brigandine H5630 : and spare H2550 ye not H408 her young men H970 ; destroy ye utterly H2763 all H3605 her host H6635 .
|
|
4. And fallen have the wounded in the land of the Chaldeans, And the pierced-through in her streets.
|
4. Thus the slain H2491 shall fall H5307 in the land H776 of the Chaldeans H3778 , and they that are thrust through H1856 in her streets H2351 .
|
|
5. For, not forsaken is Israel and Judah, By its God -- by Jehovah of Hosts, For their land hath been full of guilt, Against the Holy One of Israel.
|
5. For H3588 Israel H3478 hath not H3808 been forsaken H488 , nor Judah H3063 of his God H4480 H430 , of the LORD H4480 H3068 of hosts H6635 ; though H3588 their land H776 was filled H4390 with sin H817 against the Holy One H4480 H6918 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
6. Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, And deliver ye each his soul, Be not cut off in its iniquity, For a time of vengeance it is to Jehovah, Recompence He is rendering to her.
|
6. Flee H5127 out of the midst H4480 H8432 of Babylon H894 , and deliver H4422 every man H376 his soul H5315 : be not H408 cut off H1826 in her iniquity H5771 ; for H3588 this H1931 is the time H6256 of the LORD H3068 's vengeance H5360 ; he will render H7999 unto her a recompense H1576 .
|
|
7. A golden cup is Babylon in the hand of Jehovah, Making drunk all the earth, Of its wine drunk have nations, Therefore boast themselves do nations.
|
7. Babylon H894 hath been a golden H2091 cup H3563 in the LORD H3068 's hand H3027 , that made all H3605 the earth H776 drunken H7937 : the nations H1471 have drunken H8354 of her wine H4480 H3196 ; therefore H5921 H3651 the nations H1471 are mad H1984 .
|
|
8. Suddenly hath Babylon fallen, Yea, it is broken, howl ye for it, Take balm for her pain, if so be it may be healed.
|
8. Babylon H894 is suddenly H6597 fallen H5307 and destroyed H7665 : howl H3213 for H5921 her; take H3947 balm H6875 for her pain H4341 , if so be H194 she may be healed H7495 .
|
|
9. We healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and we go, each to his land, For come unto the heavens hath its judgment, And it hath been lifted up unto the clouds.
|
9. We would have healed H7495 H853 Babylon H894 , but she is not H3808 healed H7495 : forsake H5800 her , and let us go H1980 every one H376 into his own country H776 : for H3588 her judgment H4941 reacheth H5060 unto H413 heaven H8064 , and is lifted up H5375 even to H5704 the skies H7834 .
|
|
10. Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and we recount in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
|
10. The LORD H3068 hath brought forth H3318 H853 our righteousness H6666 : come H935 , and let us declare H5608 in Zion H6726 H853 the work H4639 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 .
|
|
11. Cleanse ye the arrows, fill the shields, Stirred up hath Jehovah the spirit of the kings of Madia, For against Babylon His device is to destroy it, For the vengeance of Jehovah it is, The vengeance of His temple.
|
11. Make bright H1305 the arrows H2671 ; gather H4390 the shields H7982 : the LORD H3068 hath raised up H5782 H853 the spirit H7307 of the kings H4428 of the Medes H4074 : for H3588 his device H4209 is against H5921 Babylon H894 , to destroy H7843 it; because H3588 it H1931 is the vengeance H5360 of the LORD H3068 , the vengeance H5360 of his temple H1964 .
|
|
12. Unto the walls of Babylon lift up an ensign, Strengthen the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For Jehovah hath both devised and done that which He spake, Concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
|
12. Set up H5375 the standard H5251 upon H413 the walls H2346 of Babylon H894 , make the watch H4929 strong H2388 , set up H6965 the watchmen H8104 , prepare H3559 the ambushes H693 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath both H1571 devised H2161 and H1571 done H6213 H853 that which H834 he spoke H1696 against H413 the inhabitants H3427 of Babylon H894 .
|
|
13. O dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Come in hath thine end, the measure of thy dishonest gain.
|
13. O thou that dwellest H7931 upon H5921 many H7227 waters H4325 , abundant H7227 in treasures H214 , thine end H7093 is come H935 , and the measure H520 of thy covetousness H1215 .
|
|
14. Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts by Himself, That, Surely I have filled thee with men as the cankerworm, And they have cried against thee -- shouting.
|
14. The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sworn H7650 by himself H5315 , saying , Surely H3588 H518 I will fill H4390 thee with men H120 , as with caterpillars H3218 ; and they shall lift up H6030 a shout H1959 against H5921 thee.
|
|
15. The maker of earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,
|
15. He hath made H6213 the earth H776 by his power H3581 , he hath established H3559 the world H8398 by his wisdom H2451 , and hath stretched out H5186 the heaven H8064 by his understanding H8394 .
|
|
16. At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters are in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And He bringeth out wind from His treasures.
|
16. When he uttereth H5414 his voice H6963 , there is a multitude H1995 of waters H4325 in the heavens H8064 ; and he causeth the vapors H5387 to ascend H5927 from the ends H4480 H7097 of the earth H776 : he maketh H6213 lightnings H1300 with rain H4306 , and bringeth forth H3318 the wind H7307 out of his treasures H4480 H214 .
|
|
17. Brutish hath been every man by knowledge, Put to shame hath been every refiner by a graven image, For false is his molten image, And there is no breath in them.
|
17. Every H3605 man H120 is brutish H1197 by his knowledge H4480 H1847 ; every H3605 founder H6884 is confounded H3001 by the graven image H4480 H6459 : for H3588 his molten image H5262 is falsehood H8267 , and there is no H3808 breath H7307 in them.
|
|
18. Vanity are they -- work of errors, In the time of their inspection they perish.
|
18. They H1992 are vanity H1892 , the work H4639 of errors H8595 : in the time H6256 of their visitation H6486 they shall perish H6 .
|
|
19. Not like these is the portion of Jacob, For He is former of all things, And Israel is the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts is His name.
|
19. The portion H2506 of Jacob H3290 is not H3808 like them H428 ; for H3588 he H1931 is the former H3335 of all things H3605 : and Israel is the rod H7626 of his inheritance H5159 : the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 is his name H8034 .
|
|
20. An axe art thou to me -- weapons of war, And I have broken in pieces by thee nations, And I have destroyed by thee kingdoms,
|
20. Thou H859 art my battle axe H4661 and weapons H3627 of war H4421 : for with thee will I break in pieces H5310 the nations H1471 , and with thee will I destroy H7843 kingdoms H4467 ;
|
|
21. And I have broken in pieces by thee horse and its rider, And I have broken in pieces by thee chariot and its charioteer,
|
21. And with thee will I break in pieces H5310 the horse H5483 and his rider H7392 ; and with thee will I break in pieces H5310 the chariot H7393 and his rider H7392 ;
|
|
22. And I have broken in pieces by thee man and woman, And I have broken in pieces by thee old and young, And I have broken in pieces by thee young man and virgin,
|
22. With thee also will I break in pieces H5310 man H376 and woman H802 ; and with thee will I break in pieces H5310 old H2205 and young H5288 ; and with thee will I break in pieces H5310 the young man H970 and the maid H1330 ;
|
|
23. And I have broken in pieces by thee shepherd and his drove, And I have broken in pieces by thee husbandman and his team, And I have broken in pieces by thee governors and prefects.
|
23. I will also break in pieces H5310 with thee the shepherd H7462 and his flock H5739 ; and with thee will I break in pieces H5310 the husbandman H406 and his yoke of oxen H6776 ; and with thee will I break in pieces H5310 captains H6346 and rulers H5461 .
|
|
24. And I have recompensed to Babylon, And to all inhabitants of Chaldea, All the evil that they have done in Zion, Before your eyes -- an affirmation of Jehovah.
|
24. And I will render H7999 unto Babylon H894 and to all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Chaldea H3778 H853 all H3605 their evil H7451 that H834 they have done H6213 in Zion H6726 in your sight H5869 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
25. Lo, I am against thee, O destroying mount, An affirmation of Jehovah, That is destroying all the earth, And I have stretched out My hand against thee, And I have rolled thee from the rocks, And given thee for a burnt mountain.
|
25. Behold H2009 , I am against H413 thee , O destroying H4889 mountain H2022 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , which destroyest H7843 H853 all H3605 the earth H776 : and I will stretch out H5186 H853 mine hand H3027 upon H5921 thee , and roll thee down H1556 from H4480 the rocks H5553 , and will make H5414 thee a burnt H8316 mountain H2022 .
|
|
26. And they take not out of thee a stone for a corner, And a stone for foundations, For desolations age-during art thou, An affirmation of Jehovah.
|
26. And they shall not H3808 take H3947 of H4480 thee a stone H68 for a corner H6438 , nor a stone H68 for foundations H4146 ; but H3588 thou shalt be H1961 desolate H8077 forever H5769 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
27. Lift ye up an ensign in the land, Blow a trumpet among nations, Sanctify against it nations, Summon against it the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, Appoint against it an infant head, Cause the horse to ascend as the rough cankerworm.
|
27. Set ye up H5375 a standard H5251 in the land H776 , blow H8628 the trumpet H7782 among the nations H1471 , prepare H6942 the nations H1471 against H5921 her , call together H8085 against H5921 her the kingdoms H4467 of Ararat H780 , Minni H4508 , and Ashchenaz H813 ; appoint H6485 a captain H2951 against H5921 her ; cause the horses H5483 to come up H5927 as the rough H5569 caterpillars H3218 .
|
|
28. Sanctify against it the nations with the kings of Media, Its governors and all its prefects, And all the land of its dominion.
|
28. Prepare H6942 against H5921 her the nations H1471 with H853 the kings H4428 of the Medes H4074 , H853 the captains H6346 thereof , and all H3605 the rulers H5461 thereof , and all H3605 the land H776 of his dominion H4475 .
|
|
29. And shake doth the land, and it is pained, For stood against Babylon have the purposes of Jehovah, To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.
|
29. And the land H776 shall tremble H7493 and sorrow H2342 : for H3588 every purpose H4284 of the LORD H3068 shall be performed H6965 against H5921 Babylon H894 , to make H7760 H853 the land H776 of Babylon H894 a desolation H8047 without H4480 H369 an inhabitant H3427 .
|
|
30. Ceased have the mighty of Babylon to fight, They have remained in strongholds, Failed hath their might, they have become woman, They have burnt her tabernacles, Broken have been her bars.
|
30. The mighty men H1368 of Babylon H894 have forborne H2308 to fight H3898 , they have remained H3427 in their holds H4679 : their might H1369 hath failed H5405 ; they became H1961 as women H802 : they have burned H3341 her dwelling places H4908 ; her bars H1280 are broken H7665 .
|
|
31. Runner to meet runner doth run, And announcer to meet announcer, To announce to the king of Babylon, For, captured hath been his city -- at the extremity.
|
31. One post H7323 shall run H7323 to meet H7125 another H7323 , and one messenger H5046 to meet H7125 another H5046 , to show H5046 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 that H3588 his city H5892 is taken H3920 at one end H4480 H7097 ,
|
|
32. And the passages have been captured, And the reeds they have burnt with fire, And the men of war have been troubled.
|
32. And that the passages H4569 are stopped H8610 , and the reeds H98 they have burned H8313 with fire H784 , and the men H376 of war H4421 are frightened H926 .
|
|
33. For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, The daughter of Babylon is as a threshing-floor, The time of her threshing -- yet a little, And come hath the time of her harvest.
|
33. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; The daughter H1323 of Babylon H894 is like a threshingfloor H1637 , it is time H6256 to thresh H1869 her: yet H5750 a little while H4592 , and the time H6256 of her harvest H7105 shall come H935 .
|
|
34. Devoured us, crushed us, hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, He hath set us as an empty vessel, He hath swallowed us as a dragon, He hath filled his belly with my dainties, He hath driven us away.
|
34. Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 hath devoured H398 me , he hath crushed H2000 me , he hath made H3322 me an empty H7385 vessel H3627 , he hath swallowed me up H1104 like a dragon H8577 , he hath filled H4390 his belly H3770 with my delicacies H4480 H5730 , he hath cast me out H1740 .
|
|
35. My wrong, and that of my flesh is on Babylon, Say doth the inhabitant of Zion, And my blood is on the inhabitants of Chaldea, Say doth Jerusalem.
|
35. The violence H2555 done to me and to my flesh H7607 be upon H5921 Babylon H894 , shall the inhabitant H3427 of Zion H6726 say H559 ; and my blood H1818 upon H413 the inhabitants H3427 of Chaldea H3778 , shall Jerusalem H3389 say H559 .
|
|
36. Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am pleading thy cause, And I have avenged thy vengeance, And dried up its sea, and made its fountains dry.
|
36. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Behold H2009 , I will plead H7378 H853 thy cause H7379 , and take vengeance for thee H5358 H853 H5360 ; and I will dry up H2717 H853 her sea H3220 , and make H853 her springs H4726 dry H3001 .
|
|
37. And Babylon hath been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
|
37. And Babylon H894 shall become H1961 heaps H1530 , a dwelling place H4583 for dragons H8577 , an astonishment H8047 , and a hissing H8322 , without H4480 H369 an inhabitant H3427 .
|
|
38. Together as young lions they roar, They have shaken themselves as lions` whelps.
|
38. They shall roar H7580 together H3162 like lions H3715 : they shall yell H5286 as lions H738 ' whelps H1484 .
|
|
39. In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a sleep age-during, And awake not -- an affirmation of Jehovah.
|
39. In their heat H2527 I will make H7896 H853 their feasts H4960 , and I will make them drunken H7937 , that H4616 they may rejoice H5937 , and sleep H3462 a perpetual H5769 sleep H8142 , and not H3808 wake H6974 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
40. I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with he-goats.
|
40. I will bring them down H3381 like lambs H3733 to the slaughter H2873 , like rams H352 with H5973 he goats H6260 .
|
|
41. How hath Sheshach been captured, Yea, caught is the praise of the whole earth, How hath Babylon been for an astonishment among nations.
|
41. How H349 is Sheshach H8347 taken H3920 ! and how is the praise H8416 of the whole H3605 earth H776 surprised H8610 ! how H349 is Babylon H894 become H1961 an astonishment H8047 among the nations H1471 !
|
|
42. Come up against Babylon hath the sea, With a multitude of its billows it hath been covered.
|
42. The sea H3220 is come up H5927 upon H5921 Babylon H894 : she is covered H3680 with the multitude H1995 of the waves H1530 thereof.
|
|
43. Its cities have been for a desolation, A dry land, and a wilderness, A land -- none doth dwell in them, Nor pass over into them doth a son of man.
|
43. Her cities H5892 are H1961 a desolation H8047 , a dry H6723 land H776 , and a wilderness H6160 , a land H776 wherein H2004 no H3605 H3808 man H376 dwelleth H3427 , neither H3808 doth any son H1121 of man H120 pass H5674 thereby H2004 .
|
|
44. And I have seen after Bel in Babylon, And I have brought forth that which he swallowed -- from his mouth, And flow no more unto him do nations, Also the wall of Babylon hath fallen.
|
44. And I will punish H6485 H5921 Bel H1078 in Babylon H894 , and I will bring forth H3318 out of his mouth H4480 H6310 H853 that which he hath swallowed up H1105 : and the nations H1471 shall not H3808 flow together H5102 any more H5750 unto H413 him: yea H1571 , the wall H2346 of Babylon H894 shall fall H5307 .
|
|
45. Go forth from its midst, O My people, And deliver ye, each his soul, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah,
|
45. My people H5971 , go H3318 ye out of the midst H4480 H8432 of her , and deliver H4422 ye every man H376 H853 his soul H5315 from the fierce H4480 H2740 anger H639 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
46. And lest your heart be tender, And ye be afraid of the report that is heard in the land, And come in a year hath the report, And after it in a year the report, And violence is in the land, ruler against ruler;
|
46. And lest H6435 your heart H3824 faint H7401 , and ye fear H3372 for the rumor H8052 that shall be heard H8085 in the land H776 ; a rumor H8052 shall both come H935 one year H8141 , and after H310 that in another year H8141 shall come a rumor H8052 , and violence H2555 in the land H776 , ruler H4910 against H5921 ruler H4910 .
|
|
47. Therefore, lo, days are coming, And I have seen after the graven images of Babylon. And all its land is ashamed, And all its pierced ones do fall in its midst.
|
47. Therefore H3651 , behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , that I will do judgment H6485 upon H5921 the graven images H6456 of Babylon H894 : and her whole H3605 land H776 shall be confounded H954 , and all H3605 her slain H2491 shall fall H5307 in the midst H8432 of her.
|
|
48. And cried aloud against Babylon Have heavens and earth, and all that is in them, For, from the north come to it do the spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.
|
48. Then the heaven H8064 and the earth H776 , and all H3605 that H834 is therein , shall sing H7442 for H5921 Babylon H894 : for H3588 the spoilers H7703 shall come H935 unto her from the north H4480 H6828 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
49. Even Babylon is to fall, ye pierced of Israel, Even they of Babylon have fallen, Ye pierced of all the earth.
|
49. As H1571 Babylon H894 hath caused the slain H2491 of Israel H3478 to fall H5307 , so H1571 at Babylon H894 shall fall H5307 the slain H2491 of all H3605 the earth H776 .
|
|
50. Ye escaped of the sword, go on, stand not, Remember ye from afar Jehovah, And let Jerusalem come up on your heart.
|
50. Ye that have escaped H6412 the sword H4480 H2719 , go away H1980 , stand not still H408 H5975 : remember H2142 H853 the LORD H3068 afar off H7350 , and let Jerusalem H3389 come H5927 into H5921 your mind H3824 .
|
|
51. We have been ashamed, for we heard reproach, Covered hath shame our faces, For come in have strangers, against the sanctuaries of the house of Jehovah.
|
51. We are confounded H954 , because H3588 we have heard H8085 reproach H2781 : shame H3639 hath covered H3680 our faces H6440 : for H3588 strangers H2114 are come H935 into H5921 the sanctuaries H4720 of the LORD H3068 's house H1004 .
|
|
52. Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have seen after its graven images, And in all its land groan doth the wounded.
|
52. Wherefore H3651 , behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that I will do judgment H6485 upon H5921 her graven images H6456 : and through all H3605 her land H776 the wounded H2491 shall groan H602 .
|
|
53. Because Babylon goeth up to the heavens, And because it fenceth the high place of its strength, From Me come into it do spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.
|
53. Though H3588 Babylon H894 should mount up H5927 to heaven H8064 , and though H3588 she should fortify H1219 the height H4791 of her strength H5797 , yet from H4480 H854 me shall spoilers H7703 come H935 unto her, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
54. A voice of a cry is from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.
|
54. A sound H6963 of a cry H2201 cometh from Babylon H4480 H894 , and great H1419 destruction H7667 from the land H4480 H776 of the Chaldeans H3778 :
|
|
55. For Jehovah is spoiling Babylon, And hath destroyed out of it a great voice, And sounded have its billows as many waters, Given forth a noise hath their voice.
|
55. Because H3588 the LORD H3068 hath spoiled H7703 H853 Babylon H894 , and destroyed H6 out of H4480 her the great H1419 voice H6963 ; when her waves H1530 do roar H1993 like great H7227 waters H4325 , a noise H7588 of their voice H6963 is uttered H5414 :
|
|
56. For come in against it -- against Babylon -- hath a spoiler, And captured have been its mighty ones, Broken have been their bows, For the God of recompences -- Jehovah -- doth certainly repay.
|
56. Because H3588 the spoiler H7703 is come H935 upon H5921 her, even upon H5921 Babylon H894 , and her mighty men H1368 are taken H3920 , every one of their bows H7198 is broken H2865 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 God H410 of recompenses H1578 shall surely requite H7999 H7999 .
|
|
57. And I have caused its princes to drink, And its wise men, its governors, And its prefects, and its mighty ones, And they have slept a sleep age-during, And they awake not -- an affirmation of the king, Jehovah of Hosts is His name.
|
57. And I will make drunk H7937 her princes H8269 , and her wise H2450 men , her captains H6346 , and her rulers H5461 , and her mighty men H1368 : and they shall sleep H3462 a perpetual H5769 sleep H8142 , and not H3808 wake H6974 , saith H5002 the King H4428 , whose name H8034 is the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 .
|
|
58. Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, the wall of Babylon -- The broad one -- is utterly made bare, And her high gates with fire are burnt, And peoples labour in vain, And nations in fire, and have been weary!
|
58. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 ; The broad H7342 walls H2346 of Babylon H894 shall be utterly broken H6209 H6209 , and her high H1364 gates H8179 shall be burned H3341 with fire H784 ; and the people H5971 shall labor H3021 in vain H7385 , and the folk H3816 in the fire H784 , and they shall be weary H3286 .
|
|
59. The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath commanded Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, in his going with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign -- and Seraiah is a quiet prince;
|
59. The word H1697 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 commanded H6680 H853 Seraiah H8304 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374 , the son H1121 of Maaseiah H4271 , when he went H1980 with H854 Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 into Babylon H894 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of his reign H4427 . And this Seraiah H8304 was a quiet H4496 prince H8269 .
|
|
60. and Jeremiah writeth all the evil that cometh unto Babylon on one book -- all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
|
60. So Jeremiah H3414 wrote H3789 in H413 a H259 book H5612 H853 all H3605 the evil H7451 that H834 should come H935 upon H413 Babylon H894 , even H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 that are written H3789 against H413 Babylon H894 .
|
|
61. And Jeremiah saith unto Seraiah, `When thou dost enter Babylon, then thou hast seen, and hast read all these words,
|
61. And Jeremiah H3414 said H559 to H413 Seraiah H8304 , When thou comest H935 to Babylon H894 , and shalt see H7200 , and shalt read H7121 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 ;
|
|
62. and hast said: Jehovah, Thou, Thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that there is none dwelling in it, from man even unto cattle, for it is a desolation age-during.
|
62. Then shalt thou say H559 , O LORD H3068 , thou H859 hast spoken H1696 against H413 this H2088 place H4725 , to cut it off H3772 , that none H1115 shall H1961 remain H3427 in it , neither man H4480 H120 nor H5704 beast H929 , but H3588 that it shall be H1961 desolate H8077 forever H5769 .
|
|
63. And it hath come to pass, when thou dost finish reading this book, thou dost bind to it a stone, and hast cast it into the midst of Phrat,
|
63. And it shall be H1961 , when thou hast made an end H3615 of reading H7121 H853 this H2088 book H5612 , that thou shalt bind H7194 a stone H68 to H5921 it , and cast H7993 it into H413 the midst H8432 of Euphrates H6578 :
|
|
64. and said, Thus sink doth Babylon, and it doth not arise, because of the evil that I am bringing in against it, and they have been weary.` Hitherto are words of Jeremiah.
|
64. And thou shalt say H559 , Thus H3602 shall Babylon H894 sink H8257 , and shall not H3808 rise H6965 from H4480 H6440 the evil H7451 that H834 I H595 will bring H935 upon H5921 her : and they shall be weary H3286 . Thus H5704 far H2008 are the words H1697 of Jeremiah H3414 .
