Jeremiah 51 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers1 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H5782 ; Behold, I will raise up [H8688] H894 against Babylon H3427 , and against them that dwell [H8802] H3820 in the midst H6965 of them that rise up [H8801] H7843 against me, a destroying [H8688] H7307 wind; 2 H7971 And will send [H8765] H894 unto Babylon H2114 fanners [H8801] H2219 , that shall fan [H8765] H1238 her, and shall empty [H8787] H776 her land H3117 : for in the day H7451 of trouble H5439 they shall be against her round about. 3 H1869 Against him that bendeth H1869 let the archer [H8802] H1869 bend [H8799] H7198 his bow H5927 , and against him that lifteth himself up [H8691] H5630 in his brigandine H2550 : and spare [H8799] H970 ye not her young men H2763 ; destroy ye utterly [H8685] H6635 all her host. 4 H2491 Thus the slain H5307 shall fall [H8804] H776 in the land H3778 of the Chaldeans H1856 , and they that are thrust through [H8794] H2351 in her streets. 5 H3478 For Israel H488 hath not been forsaken H3063 , nor Judah H430 of his God H3068 , of the LORD H6635 of hosts H776 ; though their land H4390 was filled [H8804] H817 with sin H6918 against the Holy One H3478 of Israel. 6 H5127 Flee out [H8798] H8432 of the midst H894 of Babylon H4422 , and deliver [H8761] H376 every man H5315 his soul H1826 : be not cut off [H8735] H5771 in her iniquity H6256 ; for this is the time H3068 of the LORD'S H5360 vengeance H7999 ; he will render [H8764] H1576 unto her a recompence. 7 H894 Babylon H2091 hath been a golden H3563 cup H3068 in the LORD'S H3027 hand H776 , that made all the earth H7937 drunken [H8764] H1471 : the nations H8354 have drunken [H8804] H3196 of her wine H1471 ; therefore the nations H1984 are mad [H8704] . 8 H894 Babylon H6597 is suddenly H5307 fallen [H8804] H7665 and destroyed [H8735] H3213 : howl [H8685] H3947 for her; take [H8798] H6875 balm H4341 for her pain H7495 , if so be she may be healed [H8735] . 9 H7495 We would have healed [H8765] H894 Babylon H7495 , but she is not healed [H8738] H5800 : forsake [H8798] H3212 her, and let us go [H8799] H376 every one H776 into his own country H4941 : for her judgment H5060 reacheth [H8804] H8064 unto heaven H5375 , and is lifted up [H8738] H7834 even to the skies. 10 H3068 The LORD H3318 hath brought forth [H8689] H6666 our righteousness H935 : come [H8798] H5608 , and let us declare [H8762] H6726 in Zion H4639 the work H3068 of the LORD H430 our God. 11 H1305 Make bright [H8685] H2671 the arrows H4390 ; gather [H8798] H7982 the shields H3068 : the LORD H5782 hath raised up [H8689] H7307 the spirit H4428 of the kings H4074 of the Medes H4209 : for his device H894 is against Babylon H7843 , to destroy [H8687] H5360 it; because it is the vengeance H3068 of the LORD H5360 , the vengeance H1964 of his temple. 12 H5375 Set up [H8798] H5251 the standard H2346 upon the walls H894 of Babylon H4929 , make the watch H2388 strong [H8685] H6965 , set up [H8685] H8104 the watchmen [H8802] H3559 , prepare [H8685] H693 the ambushes [H8802] H3068 : for the LORD H2161 hath both devised [H8804] H6213 and done [H8804] H1696 that which he spake [H8765] H3427 against the inhabitants [H8802] H894 of Babylon. 13 H7931 O thou that dwellest [H8802] [H8675] H7931 [H8804] H7227 upon many H4325 waters H7227 , abundant H214 in treasures H7093 , thine end H935 is come [H8802] H520 , and the measure H1215 of thy covetousness. 14 H3068 The LORD H6635 of hosts H7650 hath sworn [H8738] H5315 by himself H4390 , saying, Surely I will fill [H8765] H120 thee with men H3218 , as with caterpillers H6030 ; and they shall lift up [H8804] H1959 a shout against thee. 15 H6213 He hath made [H8802] H776 the earth H3581 by his power H3559 , he hath established [H8688] H8398 the world H2451 by his wisdom H5186 , and hath stretched out [H8804] H8064 the heaven H8394 by his understanding. 16 H5414 When he uttereth [H8800] H6963 his voice H1995 , there is a multitude H4325 of waters H8064 in the heavens H5387 ; and he causeth the vapours H5927 to ascend [H8686] H7097 from the ends H776 of the earth H6213 : he maketh [H8804] H1300 lightnings H4306 with rain H3318 , and bringeth forth [H8686] H7307 the wind H214 out of his treasures. 17 H120 Every man H1197 is brutish [H8738] H1847 by his knowledge H6884 ; every founder [H8802] H3001 is confounded [H8689] H6459 by the graven image H5262 : for his molten image H8267 is falsehood H7307 , and there is no breath in them. 18 H1892 They are vanity H4639 , the work H8595 of errors H6256 : in the time H6486 of their visitation H6 they shall perish [H8799] . 19 H2506 The portion H3290 of Jacob H3335 is not like them; for he is the former [H8802] H7626 of all things: and Israel is the rod H5159 of his inheritance H3068 : the LORD H6635 of hosts H8034 is his name. 20 H4661 Thou art my battle axe H3627 and weapons H4421 of war H5310 : for with thee will I break in pieces [H8765] H1471 the nations H7843 , and with thee will I destroy [H8689] H4467 kingdoms; 21 H5310 And with thee will I break in pieces [H8765] H5483 the horse H7392 and his rider [H8802] H5310 ; and with thee will I break in pieces [H8765] H7393 the chariot H7392 and his rider [H8802] ; 22 H5310 With thee also will I break in pieces [H8765] H376 man H802 and woman H5310 ; and with thee will I break in pieces [H8765] H2205 old H5288 and young H5310 ; and with thee will I break in pieces [H8765] H970 the young man H1330 and the maid; 23 H5310 I will also break in pieces [H8765] H7462 with thee the shepherd [H8802] H5739 and his flock H5310 ; and with thee will I break in pieces [H8765] H406 the husbandman H6776 and his yoke of oxen H5310 ; and with thee will I break in pieces [H8765] H6346 captains H5461 and rulers. 24 H7999 And I will render [H8765] H894 unto Babylon H3427 and to all the inhabitants [H8802] H3778 of Chaldea H7451 all their evil H6213 that they have done [H8804] H6726 in Zion H5869 in your sight H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD. 25 H4889 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying H2022 mountain H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD H7843 , which destroyest [H8688] H776 all the earth H5186 : and I will stretch out [H8804] H3027 mine hand H1556 upon thee, and roll thee down [H8773] H5553 from the rocks H5414 , and will make [H8804] H8316 thee a burnt H2022 mountain. 26 H3947 And they shall not take [H8799] H68 of thee a stone H6438 for a corner H68 , nor a stone H4146 for foundations H8077 ; but thou shalt be desolate H5769 for ever H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD. 27 H5375 Set ye up [H8798] H5251 a standard H776 in the land H8628 , blow [H8798] H7782 the trumpet H1471 among the nations H6942 , prepare [H8761] H1471 the nations H8085 against her, call together [H8685] H4467 against her the kingdoms H780 of Ararat H4508 , Minni H813 , and Ashchenaz H6485 ; appoint [H8798] H2951 a captain H5483 against her; cause the horses H5927 to come up [H8685] H5569 as the rough H3218 caterpillers. 28 H6942 Prepare [H8761] H1471 against her the nations H4428 with the kings H4074 of the Medes H6346 , the captains H5461 thereof, and all the rulers H776 thereof, and all the land H4475 of his dominion. 29 H776 And the land H7493 shall tremble [H8799] H2342 and sorrow [H8799] H4284 : for every purpose H3068 of the LORD H6965 shall be performed [H8804] H894 against Babylon H7760 , to make [H8800] H776 the land H894 of Babylon H8047 a desolation H3427 without an inhabitant [H8802] . 30 H1368 The mighty men H894 of Babylon H2308 have forborn [H8804] H3898 to fight [H8736] H3427 , they have remained [H8804] H4679 in their holds H1369 : their might H5405 hath failed [H8804] H802 ; they became as women H3341 : they have burned [H8689] H4908 her dwellingplaces H1280 ; her bars H7665 are broken [H8738] . 31 H7323 One post [H8801] H7323 shall run [H8799] H7125 to meet [H8800] H7323 another [H8801] H5046 , and one messenger [H8688] H7125 to meet [H8800] H5046 another [H8688] H5046 , to shew [H8687] H4428 the king H894 of Babylon H5892 that his city H3920 is taken [H8738] H7097 at one end, 32 H4569 And that the passages H8610 are stopped [H8738] H98 , and the reeds H8313 they have burned [H8804] H784 with fire H582 , and the men H4421 of war H926 are affrighted [H8738] . 33 H559 For thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H1323 ; The daughter H894 of Babylon H1637 is like a threshingfloor H6256 , it is time H1869 to thresh [H8687] H4592 her: yet a little while H6256 , and the time H7105 of her harvest H935 shall come [H8804] . 34 H5019 Nebuchadrezzar H4428 the king H894 of Babylon H398 hath devoured [H8804] H2000 me, he hath crushed [H8804] H3322 me, he hath made [H8689] H7385 me an empty H3627 vessel H1104 , he hath swallowed me up [H8804] H8577 like a dragon H4390 , he hath filled [H8765] H3770 his belly H5730 with my delicates H1740 , he hath cast me out [H8689] . 35 H2555 The violence H7607 done to me and to my flesh H894 be upon Babylon H3427 , shall the inhabitant [H8802] H6726 of Zion H559 say [H8799] H1818 ; and my blood H3427 upon the inhabitants [H8802] H3778 of Chaldea H3389 , shall Jerusalem H559 say [H8799] . 36 H559 Therefore thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H7378 ; Behold, I will plead [H8801] H7379 thy cause H5358 , and take vengeance [H8765] H5360 for thee H2717 ; and I will dry up [H8689] H3220 her sea H4726 , and make her springs H3001 dry [H8689] . 37 H894 And Babylon H1530 shall become heaps H4583 , a dwellingplace H8577 for dragons H8047 , an astonishment H8322 , and an hissing H3427 , without an inhabitant [H8802] . 38 H7580 They shall roar [H8799] H3162 together H3715 like lions H5286 : they shall yell [H8804] H738 as lions H1484 ' whelps. 39 H2527 In their heat H7896 I will make [H8799] H4960 their feasts H7937 , and I will make them drunken [H8689] H5937 , that they may rejoice [H8799] H3462 , and sleep [H8804] H5769 a perpetual H8142 sleep H6974 , and not wake [H8686] H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD. 40 H3381 I will bring them down [H8686] H3733 like lambs H2873 to the slaughter [H8800] H352 , like rams H6260 with he goats. 41 H8347 How is Sheshach H3920 taken [H8738] H8416 ! and how is the praise H776 of the whole earth H8610 surprised [H8735] H894 ! how is Babylon H8047 become an astonishment H1471 among the nations! 42 H3220 The sea H5927 is come up [H8804] H894 upon Babylon H3680 : she is covered [H8738] H1995 with the multitude H1530 of the waves thereof. 43 H5892 Her cities H8047 are a desolation H6723 , a dry H776 land H6160 , and a wilderness H776 , a land H376 wherein no man H3427 dwelleth [H8799] H1121 , neither doth any son H120 of man H5674 pass [H8799] H2004 thereby. 44 H6485 And I will punish [H8804] H1078 Bel H894 in Babylon H3318 , and I will bring forth [H8689] H6310 out of his mouth H1105 that which he hath swallowed up H1471 : and the nations H5102 shall not flow together [H8799] H2346 any more unto him: yea, the wall H894 of Babylon H5307 shall fall [H8804] . 45 H5971 My people H3318 , go ye out [H8798] H8432 of the midst H4422 of her, and deliver [H8761] H376 ye every man H5315 his soul H2740 from the fierce H639 anger H3068 of the LORD. 46 H3824 And lest your heart H7401 faint [H8735] H3372 , and ye fear [H8799] H8052 for the rumour H8085 that shall be heard [H8737] H776 in the land H8052 ; a rumour H935 shall both come [H8804] H8141 one year H310 , and after H8141 that in another year H8052 shall come a rumour H2555 , and violence H776 in the land H4910 , ruler [H8802] H4910 against ruler [H8802] . 47 H3117 Therefore, behold, the days H935 come [H8802] H6485 , that I will do judgment [H8804] H6456 upon the graven images H894 of Babylon H776 : and her whole land H954 shall be confounded [H8799] H2491 , and all her slain H5307 shall fall [H8799] H8432 in the midst of her. 48 H8064 Then the heaven H776 and the earth H7442 , and all that is therein, shall sing [H8765] H894 for Babylon H7703 : for the spoilers [H8802] H935 shall come [H8799] H6828 unto her from the north H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD. 49 H1571 As H894 Babylon H2491 hath caused the slain H3478 of Israel H5307 to fall [H8800] H894 , so at Babylon H5307 shall fall [H8804] H2491 the slain H776 of all the earth. 50 H6405 Ye that have escaped H2719 the sword H1980 , go away [H8798] H5975 , stand not still [H8799] H2142 : remember [H8798] H3068 the LORD H7350 afar off H3389 , and let Jerusalem H5927 come [H8799] H3824 into your mind. 51 H954 We are confounded [H8804] H8085 , because we have heard [H8804] H2781 reproach H3639 : shame H3680 hath covered [H8765] H6440 our faces H2114 : for strangers [H8801] H935 are come [H8804] H4720 into the sanctuaries H3068 of the LORD'S H1004 house. 52 H3117 Wherefore, behold, the days H935 come [H8802] H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD H6485 , that I will do judgment [H8804] H6456 upon her graven images H776 : and through all her land H2491 the wounded H602 shall groan [H8799] . 53 H894 Though Babylon H5927 should mount up [H8799] H8064 to heaven H1219 , and though she should fortify [H8762] H4791 the height H5797 of her strength H227 , yet H7703 from me shall spoilers [H8802] H935 come [H8799] H5002 unto her, saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD. 54 H6963 A sound H2201 of a cry H894 cometh from Babylon H1419 , and great H7667 destruction H776 from the land H3778 of the Chaldeans: 55 H3068 Because the LORD H7703 hath spoiled [H8802] H894 Babylon H6 , and destroyed [H8765] H1419 out of her the great H6963 voice H1530 ; when her waves H1993 do roar [H8804] H7227 like great H4325 waters H7588 , a noise H6963 of their voice H5414 is uttered [H8738] : 56 H7703 Because the spoiler [H8802] H935 is come [H8804] H894 upon her, even upon Babylon H1368 , and her mighty men H3920 are taken [H8738] H7198 , every one of their bows H2865 is broken [H8765] H3068 : for the LORD H410 God H1578 of recompences H7999 shall surely [H8763] H7999 requite [H8762] . 57 H7937 And I will make drunk [H8689] H8269 her princes H2450 , and her wise H6346 men, her captains H5461 , and her rulers H1368 , and her mighty men H3462 : and they shall sleep [H8804] H5769 a perpetual H8142 sleep H6974 , and not wake [H8686] H5002 , saith [H8803] H4428 the King H8034 , whose name H3068 is the LORD H6635 of hosts. 58 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H7342 ; The broad H2346 walls H894 of Babylon H6209 shall be utterly [H8771] H6209 broken [H8698] H1364 , and her high H8179 gates H3341 shall be burned [H8799] H784 with fire H5971 ; and the people H3021 shall labour [H8799] H7385 in vain H3816 , and the folk H1767 in H784 the fire H3286 , and they shall be weary [H8804] . 59 H1697 The word H3414 which Jeremiah H5030 the prophet H6680 commanded [H8765] H8304 Seraiah H1121 the son H5374 of Neriah H1121 , the son H4271 of Maaseiah H3212 , when he went [H8800] H6667 with Zedekiah H4428 the king H3063 of Judah H894 into Babylon H7243 in the fourth H8141 year H4427 of his reign [H8800] H8304 . And this Seraiah H4496 was a quiet H8269 prince. 60 H3414 So Jeremiah H3789 wrote [H8799] H259 in a H5612 book H7451 all the evil H935 that should come [H8799] H894 upon Babylon H1697 , even all these words H3789 that are written [H8803] H894 against Babylon. 61 H3414 And Jeremiah H559 said [H8799] H8304 to Seraiah H935 , When thou comest [H8800] H894 to Babylon H7200 , and shalt see [H8804] H7121 , and shalt read [H8804] H1697 all these words; 62 H559 Then shalt thou say [H8804] H3068 , O LORD H1696 , thou hast spoken [H8765] H4725 against this place H3772 , to cut it off [H8687] H3427 , that none shall remain [H8802] H120 in it, neither man H929 nor beast H8077 , but that it shall be desolate H5769 for ever. 63 H3615 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end [H8763] H7121 of reading [H8800] H5612 this book H7194 , that thou shalt bind [H8799] H68 a stone H7993 to it, and cast [H8689] H8432 it into the midst H6578 of Euphrates: 64 H559 And thou shalt say [H8804] H894 , Thus shall Babylon H8257 sink [H8799] H6965 , and shall not rise [H8799] H6440 from H7451 the evil H935 that I will bring [H8688] H3286 upon her: and they shall be weary [H8804] H1697 . Thus far are the words H3414 of Jeremiah. |
