Jeremiah 50
The
a
word
that
the
Lord
spake
against
Babylon
and
against
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans
by
Jeremiah
the
prophet.
2 Declare
ye
among
the
nations,
and
publish,
and
set
up
a
standard;
publish,
and
conceal
not:
say,
Babylon
is
taken,
a
Bel
is
confounded,
Merodach
is
broken
in
pieces;
her
idols
are
confounded,
her
images
are
broken
in
pieces.
3 For
out
of
the
a
north
there
cometh
up
a
nation
against
her,
which
shall
make
her
land
desolate,
and
none
shall
b
dwell
therein:
they
shall
remove,
they
shall
depart,
both
man
and
beast.
4 In
those
days,
and
in
that
time,
saith
the
Lord,
the
children
of
Israel
shall
a
come,
they
and
the
children
of
Judah
b
together,
going
and
c
weeping:
they
shall
go,
and
seek
the
Lord
their
God.
5 They
shall
ask
the
way
to
Zion
with
their
faces
thitherward,
saying,
Come,
and
let
us
join
ourselves
to
the
Lord
in
a
a
perpetual
b
covenant
that
shall
not
be
forgotten.
6 My
people
hath
been
lost
sheep:
their
a
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
restingplace.
7 All
that
found
them
have
devoured
them:
and
their
adversaries
said,
We
a
offend
not,
because
they
have
sinned
against
the
Lord,
the
habitation
of
justice,
even
the
Lord,
the
hope
of
their
fathers.
8
a
Remove
out
of
the
midst
of
Babylon,
and
go
forth
out
of
the
land
of
the
b
Chaldeans,
and
be
as
the
he
goats
before
the
flocks.
9 For,
lo,
I
will
raise
and
cause
to
come
up
against
Babylon
an
assembly
of
great
nations
from
the
a
north
country:
and
they
shall
set
themselves
in
array
against
her;
from
thence
she
shall
be
taken:
their
b
arrows
shall
be
as
of
a
mighty
expert
man;
none
shall
return
c
in
vain.
10 And
Chaldea
shall
be
a
spoil:
all
that
spoil
her
shall
be
satisfied,
saith
the
Lord.
11 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;
12 Your
mother
shall
be
sore
confounded;
she
that
bare
you
shall
be
ashamed:
behold,
the
a
hindermost
of
the
nations
shall
be
a
wilderness,
a
dry
land,
and
a
desert.
13 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.
14 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.
15 Shout
against
her
round
about:
she
hath
a
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.
16 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
a
people,
and
they
shall
flee
every
one
to
his
own
b
land.
17 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
a
broken
his
bones.
18 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel;
Behold,
I
will
punish
the
king
of
Babylon
and
his
land,
as
I
have
punished
the
king
of
Assyria.
19 And
I
will
a
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.
20 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
a
pardon
them
whom
I
reserve.
21 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.
22 A
sound
of
battle
is
in
the
land,
and
of
great
destruction.
23 How
is
the
hammer
of
the
whole
earth
cut
asunder
and
broken!
how
is
Babylon
become
a
desolation
among
the
nations!
24 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.
25 The
Lord
hath
opened
his
armoury,
and
hath
brought
forth
the
weapons
of
his
indignation:
for
this
is
the
work
of
the
Lord
God
of
hosts
in
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans.
26 Come
against
her
from
the
utmost
border,
open
her
storehouses:
cast
her
up
as
heaps,
and
destroy
her
utterly:
let
nothing
of
her
be
left.
27 Slay
all
her
bullocks;
let
them
go
down
to
the
slaughter:
woe
unto
them!
for
their
day
is
come,
the
time
of
their
a
visitation.
28 The
voice
of
them
that
flee
and
escape
out
of
the
land
of
Babylon,
to
declare
in
Zion
the
vengeance
of
the
Lord
our
God,
the
vengeance
of
his
temple.
29 Call
together
the
archers
against
Babylon:
all
ye
that
bend
the
bow,
camp
against
it
round
about;
let
none
thereof
escape:
recompense
her
according
to
her
work;
according
to
all
that
she
hath
done,
do
unto
her:
for
she
hath
been
proud
against
the
Lord,
against
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
30 Therefore
shall
her
young
men
fall
in
the
streets,
and
all
her
men
of
war
shall
be
cut
off
in
that
day,
saith
the
Lord.
31 Behold,
I
am
against
thee,
O
thou
most
proud,
saith
the
Lord
God
of
hosts:
for
thy
day
is
come,
the
time
that
I
will
visit
thee.
32 And
the
most
proud
shall
stumble
and
fall,
and
none
shall
raise
him
up:
and
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
his
cities,
and
it
shall
devour
all
round
about
him.
33 Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts;
The
children
of
Israel
and
the
children
of
Judah
were
oppressed
together:
and
all
that
took
them
captives
held
them
fast;
they
refused
to
let
them
go.
34 Their
Redeemer
is
strong;
the
Lord
of
hosts
is
his
name:
he
shall
throughly
a
plead
their
cause,
that
he
may
give
rest
to
the
land,
and
disquiet
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon.
35 A
sword
is
upon
the
Chaldeans,
saith
the
Lord,
and
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon,
and
upon
her
princes,
and
upon
her
wise
men.
36 A
sword
is
upon
the
liars;
and
they
shall
dote:
a
sword
is
upon
her
mighty
men;
and
they
shall
be
dismayed.
37 A
sword
is
upon
their
horses,
and
upon
their
chariots,
and
upon
all
the
a
mingled
people
that
are
in
the
midst
of
her;
and
they
shall
become
as
women:
a
sword
is
upon
her
b
treasures;
and
they
shall
be
robbed.
38 A
a
drought
is
upon
her
waters;
and
they
shall
be
b
dried
up:
for
it
is
the
land
of
graven
images,
and
they
are
mad
upon
their
idols.
39 Therefore
the
wild
beasts
of
the
desert
with
the
wild
beasts
of
the
islands
shall
dwell
there,
and
the
a
owls
shall
dwell
therein:
and
it
shall
be
no
more
inhabited
for
ever;
neither
shall
it
be
dwelt
in
from
generation
to
generation.
40 As
God
overthrew
a
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
and
the
neighbour
cities
thereof,
saith
the
Lord;
so
shall
no
man
abide
there,
neither
shall
any
son
of
man
dwell
therein.
41 Behold,
a
people
shall
come
from
the
a
north,
and
a
great
nation,
and
many
kings
shall
be
raised
up
from
the
b
coasts
of
the
earth.
42 They
shall
hold
the
bow
and
the
lance:
they
are
a
cruel,
and
will
not
shew
mercy:
their
voice
shall
roar
like
the
sea,
and
they
shall
ride
upon
horses,
every
one
put
in
array,
like
a
man
to
the
battle,
against
thee,
O
daughter
of
Babylon.
43 The
king
of
Babylon
hath
heard
the
report
of
them,
and
his
hands
waxed
feeble:
anguish
took
hold
of
him,
and
pangs
as
of
a
woman
in
travail.
44 Behold,
he
shall
come
up
like
a
lion
from
the
swelling
of
Jordan
unto
the
habitation
of
the
strong:
but
I
will
make
them
suddenly
run
away
from
her:
and
who
is
a
chosen
man,
that
I
may
appoint
over
her?
for
who
is
like
me?
and
who
will
appoint
me
the
time?
and
who
is
that
a
shepherd
that
will
stand
before
me?
45 Therefore
hear
ye
the
counsel
of
the
Lord,
that
he
hath
taken
against
Babylon;
and
his
purposes,
that
he
hath
purposed
against
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans:
Surely
the
least
of
the
flock
shall
draw
them
out:
surely
he
shall
make
their
habitation
desolate
with
them.
46 At
the
noise
of
the
taking
of
Babylon
the
earth
is
a
moved,
and
the
cry
is
heard
among
the
nations.
