them.

18They are vain works, objects of scorn; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

19Not such is Jacob’s portion; for he that formed all things, he is his inheritance; the Lord is his name.

20Thou scatterest for me the weapons of war: and I will scatter nations by thee, and will destroy kings by means of thee.

21And by thee I will scatter the horse and his rider; and by thee I will scatter chariots and them that ride in them.

22And by thee I will scatter youth and maid; and by thee I will scatter man and woman.

23And by thee I will scatter the shepherd and his flock; and by thee I will scatter the husbandman and his husbandry; and by thee I will scatter leaders and the captains.

24And I will recompense to Babylon and to all the Chaldeans that dwell there all their mischiefs that they have done to Sion before your eyes, saith the Lord.

25Behold, I am against thee, the ruined mountain, that destroys the whole earth; and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will roll thee down upon the rocks, and will make thee as a burnt mountain.

26And they shall not take from thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for a foundation: for thou shalt be a desolation for ever, saith the Lord.

27Lift up a standard in the land, sound the trumpet among the nations, See Ex 32:29. consecrate the nations against her, raise up kings against her by me, and that for the people of Achanaz; set against her engines of war; bring up against her Or, horsemen horses as a multitude of locusts.

28Bring up nations against her, even the king of the Medes and of the whole earth, his rulers, and all his captains. Alex. +’and all the land of his dominion’

29The earth has quaked and been troubled, because the purpose of the Lord has risen up against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, and uninhabitable.

30The warrior of Babylon has failed to fight; they shall sit there in the siege; their power is broken; they are become like women; her tabernacles have been set on fire; her bars are broken.

31One shall rush, running to meet another runner, and one shall go with tidings to meet another with tidings, to bring tidings to the king of Babylon, that his city is taken.

32At the end of his passages they were taken, and his cisterns they have burnt with fire, and his warriors are going forth.

33For thus saith the Lord, The houses of the king of Babylon shall be threshed as a floor in the season; yet a little while, and her harvest shall come.

34He has devoured me, he has torn me asunder, airy darkness has come upon me; Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon has swallowed me up, as a dragon has he filled his belly with my delicacies.

35My troubles and my distresses have driven me out into Babylon, shall she that dwells in Sion say; and my blood shall be upon the Chaldeans dwelling there, shall Jerusalem say.

36Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will judge thine adversary, and I will execute vengeance for thee; and I will waste her sea, and dry up her fountain.

37And Babylon shall be a desolation, and shall not be inhabited.

38For they rose up together as lions, and as lions’ whelps.

39In their heat I will give them a draught, and make them drunk, that they may be stupified, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and not awake, saith the Lord.

40And bring thou them down as lambs to the slaughter, and rams with kids.

41How has the boast of all the earth been taken and caught in a snare! how has Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

42The sea has come up upon Babylon with the sound of its waves, and she is covered.

43Her cities are become like a dry and trackless land; not so much as one man shall dwell in it, neither shall a son of man lodge in it.

44And I will take vengeance on Babylon, and bring forth out of her mouth what she has swallowed down, and the nations shall no more be gathered to her:

49and in Babylon the slain men of all the earth shall fall.

50Go forth of the land, ye that escape, and stay not; ye that are afar off, remember the Lord, and let Jerusalem come into your Gr. heart mind.

51We are ashamed, because we have heard our reproach; disgrace has covered our face; aliens are come into our sanctuary, even into the house of the Lord.

52Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will take vengeance upon her graven images: and slain men shall fall in all her land.

53For though Babylon should go up as the heaven, and though she should strengthen her walls with her power, from me shall come they that shall destroy her, saith the Lord.

54A sound of a cry in Babylon, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans:

55for the Lord has utterly destroyed Babylon, and cut off from her the great voice sounding as many waters: he has consigned her voice to destruction.

56For distress has come upon Babylon, her warriors are taken, their bows are useless: for God recompenses them.

57The Lord recompenses, and will make her leaders and her wise men and her captains completely drunk, saith the King, the Lord Almighty is his name.

58Thus saith the Lord, The wall of Babylon was made broad, but it shall be completely broken down, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire; and the peoples shall not labour in vain, nor the nations fail in their rule.

59THE WORD WHICH THE LORD COMMANDED THE PROPHET JEREMIAS to say to Saraeas son of Nerias, son of Maasaeas, when he went from Sedekias king of Juda to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. And Saraeas was over the bounties.

60And Jeremias wrote in a book all the evils which should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.

61And Jeremias said to Saraeas, When thou art come to Babylon, and shalt see and read all these words;

62then thou shalt say, See 1 Ki 8:53, note O Lord God, thou hast spoken against this place, to destroy it, and that there should be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast; for it shall be a desolation for ever.

63And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt cease from reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone upon it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates;

64and shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and not rise, because of the evils which I bring upon it.
