Isaiah 13 
 
 1. The burden <4853 massa> > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, which <0834 >aher >
Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son <1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > did see
<2372 chazah >. 
 
 2 Lift <5375 nasa> > ye up a banner <5251 nec > upon the high <8192 shaphah
> mountain <2022 har >, exalt <7311 ruwm > the voice <6963 qowl > unto them,
shake <5130 nuwph > the hand <3027 yad >, that they may go <0935 bow> > into
the gates <6607 pethach > of the nobles <5081 nadiyb >. 
 
 3 I have commanded <6680 tsavah > my sanctified <6942 qadash > ones, I have
also <1571 gam > called <7121 qara> > my mighty <1368 gibbowr > ones for mine
anger <0639 >aph >, [even] them that rejoice <5947 <alliyz > in my highness
<1346 ga<avah >. 
 
 4 The noise <6963 qowl > of a multitude <1995 hamown > in the mountains
<2022 har >, like <1823 d@muwth > as of a great <7227 rab > people <5971 <am
>; a tumultuous <7588 sha>own > noise <6963 qowl > of the kingdoms <4467
mamlakah > of nations <1471 gowy > gathered <0622 >acaph > together: the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > mustereth <6485 paqad > the host
<6635 tsaba> > of the battle <4421 milchamah >. 
 
 5 They come <0935 bow> > from a far <4801 merchaq > country <0776 >erets >,
from the end <7093 qets > of heaven <8064 shamayim >, [even] the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, and the weapons <3627 k@liy > of his indignation <2195 za<am >, to
destroy <2254 chabal > the whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets >. 
 
 6. Howl <3213 yalal > ye; for the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
> [is] at <7138 qarowb > hand <7138 qarowb >; it shall come <0935 bow> > as a
destruction <7701 shod > from the Almighty <7706 Shadday >. 
 
 7 Therefore shall all <3605 kol > hands <3027 yad > be faint <7503 raphah >,
and every <3605 kol > man's <0582 >enowsh > heart <3824 lebab > shall melt
<4549 macac >: 
 
 8 And they shall be afraid <0926 bahal >: pangs <6735 tsiyr > and sorrows
<2256 chebel > shall take <0270 >achaz > hold <0270 >achaz > of them; they
shall be in pain <2342 chuwl > as a woman that travaileth <3205 yalad >: they
shall be amazed <8539 tamahh > one <0376 >iysh > at <0413 >el > another <7453
rea< >; their faces <6440 paniym > [shall be as] flames <3851 lahab >. 
 
 9 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
cometh <0935 bow> >, cruel <0394 >akzariy > both with wrath <5678 <ebrah >
and fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph >, to lay the land <0776 >erets >
desolate <8047 shammah >: and he shall destroy <8045 shamad > the sinners
<2400 chatta> > thereof out of it. 
 
 10 For the stars <3556 kowkab > of heaven <8064 shamayim > and the
constellations <3685 K@ciyl > thereof shall not give their light <0216 >owr
>: the sun <8121 shemesh > shall be darkened <2821 chashak > in his going
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, and the moon <3394 yareach > shall not
cause her light <0216 >owr > to shine <5050 nagahh >. 
 
 11 And I will punish <6485 paqad > the world <8398 tebel > for [their] evil
<7451 ra< >, and the wicked <7563 rasha< > for their iniquity <5771 <avon >;
and I will cause the arrogancy <1347 ga>own > of the proud <2086 zed > to
cease <7673 shabath >, and will lay low <8213 shaphel > the haughtiness <1346
ga<avah > of the terrible <6184 <ariyts >. 
 
 12 I will make a man <0582 >enowsh > more precious <3365 yaqar > than fine
gold <6337 paz >; even a man <0120 >adam > than the golden <3800 kethem >
wedge of Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr >. 
 
 13 Therefore I will shake <7264 ragaz > the heavens <8064 shamayim >, and
the earth <0776 >erets > shall remove <7493 ra<ash > out of her place <4725
maqowm >, in the wrath <5678 <ebrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> >, and in the day <3117 yowm > of his fierce <2740 charown >
anger <0639 >aph >. 
 
 14 And it shall be as the chased <5080 nadach > roe <6643 ts@biy >, and as a
sheep <6629 tso>n > that no <0369 >ayin > man taketh <6908 qabats > up: they
shall every man <0376 >iysh > turn <6437 panah > to his own people <5971 <am
>, and flee <5127 nuwc > every <0376 >iysh > one into <0413 >el > his own
land <0776 >erets >. 
 
 15 Every <3605 kol > one that is found <4672 matsa> > shall be thrust <1856
daqar > through <1856 daqar >; and every <3605 kol > one that is joined <5595
caphah > [unto them] shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb >. 
 
 16 Their children <5768 <owlel > also shall be dashed <7376 ratash > to
pieces before their eyes <5869 <ayin >; their houses <1004 bayith > shall be
spoiled <8155 shacac >, and their wives <0802 >ishshah > ravished <7693
shagal >. 
 
 17 Behold <2005 hen >, I will stir <5782 <uwr > up the Medes <4074 Maday >
against <5921 <al > them, which <0834 >aher > shall not regard <2803 chashab
> silver <3701 keceph >; and [as for] gold <2091 zahab >, they shall not
delight <2654 chaphets > in it. 
 
 18 [Their] bows <7198 qesheth > also shall dash <7376 ratash > the young
<5288 na<ar > men to pieces; and they shall have no <3808 lo> > pity <7355
racham > on the fruit <6529 p@riy > of the womb <0990 beten >; their eye
<5869 <ayin > shall not spare <2347 chuwc > children <1121 ben >. 
 
 19. And Babylon <0894 Babel >, the glory <6643 ts@biy > of kingdoms <4467
mamlakah >, the beauty <8597 tiph>arah > of the Chaldees <3778 Kasdiy >'
excellency <1347 ga>own >, shall be as when God <0430 >elohiym > overthrew
<4114 mahpekah > Sodom <5467 C@dom > and Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah >. 
 
 20 It shall never be inhabited <3427 yashab >, neither <3808 lo> > shall it
be dwelt <7931 shakan > in from generation <1755 dowr > to generation <1755
dowr >: neither <3808 lo> > shall the Arabian <6153 <ereb > pitch <0167 >ahal
> tent <0167 >ahal > there <8033 sham >; neither <3808 lo> > shall the
shepherds <7462 ra<ah > make their fold <7257 rabats > there <8033 sham >. 
 
 21 But wild <6728 tsiyiy > beasts <6728 tsiyiy > of the desert <6728 tsiyiy
> shall lie <7257 rabats > there <8033 sham >; and their houses <1004 bayith
> shall be full <4390 male> > of doleful <0255 >oach > creatures <0255 >oach

sa<iyr > shall dance <7540 raqad > there <8033 sham >. 
 
 22 And the wild <0338 >iy > beasts <0338 >iy > of the islands <0338 >iy >
shall cry <6030 <anah > in their desolate <0490 >almanah > houses <0490
>almanah >, and dragons <8577 tanniyn > in [their] pleasant <6027 <oneg >
palaces <1964 heykal >: and her time <6256 <eth > [is] near <7138 qarowb > to
come <0935 bow> >, and her days <3117 yowm > shall not be prolonged <4900
mashak >. 
 
Isaiah 14 
 
 1. For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will have mercy <7355 racham > on Jacob
<3290 Ya<aqob >, and will yet <5750 <owd > choose <0977 bachar > Israel <3478
Yisra>el >, and set <3240 yanach > them in their own land <0127 >adamah >:
and the strangers <1616 ger > shall be joined <3867 lavah > with them, and
they shall cleave <5596 caphach > to the house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290
Ya<aqob >. 
 
 2 And the people <5971 <am > shall take <3947 laqach > them, and bring <0935
bow> > them to their place <4725 maqowm >: and the house <1004 bayith > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall possess <5157 nachal > them in the land <0127
>adamah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > for servants <5650 <ebed > and
handmaids <8198 shiphchah >: and they shall take them captives <7617 shabah
>, whose captives <7617 shabah > they were; and they shall rule <7287 radah >
over their oppressors <5065 nagas >. 
 
 3 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in the day <3117 yowm > that the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall give thee rest <5117 nuwach > from thy sorrow
<6090 <otseb >, and from thy fear <7267 rogez >, and from the hard <7186
qasheh > bondage <5656 <abodah > wherein <0834 >aher > thou wast made to
serve <5647 <abad >, 
 
 4. That thou shalt take <5375 nasa> > up this <2088 zeh > proverb <4912
mashal > against <5921 <al > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >,
and say <0559 >amar >, How <0349 >eyk > hath the oppressor <5065 nagas >
ceased <7673 shabath >! the golden <4062 madhebah > city <4062 madhebah >
ceased <7673 shabath >! 
 
 5 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath broken <7665 shabar > the staff <4294 matteh
> of the wicked <7563 rasha< >, [and] the sceptre <7626 shebet > of the
rulers <4910 mashal >. 
 
 6 He who smote <5221 nakah > the people <5971 <am > in wrath <5678 <ebrah >
with a continual stroke <4347 makkah >, he that ruled <7287 radah > the
nations <1471 gowy > in anger <0639 >aph >, is persecuted <4783 murdaph >,
[and] none <1097 b@liy > hindereth <2820 chasak >. 
 
 7 The whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets > is at rest <5117 nuwach >,
[and] is quiet <8252 shaqat >: they break <6476 patsach > forth into singing
<7440 rinnah >. 
 
 8 Yea <1571 gam >, the fir <1265 b@rowsh > trees rejoice <8055 samach > at
thee, [and] the cedars <0730 >erez > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, [saying],
Since <0227 >az > thou art laid <7901 shakab > down <7901 shakab >, no <3808
lo> > feller <3772 karath > is come <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > us.

 
 9 Hell <7585 sh@>owl > from beneath <8478 tachath > is moved <7264 ragaz >
for thee to meet <7125 qir>ah > [thee] at thy coming <0935 bow> >: it
stirreth <5782 <uwr > up the dead <7496 rapha> > for thee, [even] all <3605
kol > the chief <6260 <attuwd > ones of the earth <0776 >erets >; it hath
raised <6965 quwm > up from their thrones <3678 kicce> > all <3605 kol > the
kings <4428 melek > of the nations <1471 gowy >. 
 
 10 All <3605 kol > they shall speak <6030 <anah > and say <0559 >amar > unto
thee, Art thou also <1571 gam > become <2470 chalah > weak <2470 chalah > as
we? art thou become <4911 mashal > like <4911 mashal > unto us? 
 
 11 Thy pomp <1347 ga>own > is brought <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to
the grave <7585 sh@>owl >, [and] the noise <1998 hemyah > of thy viols <5035
nebel >: the worm <7415 rimmah > is spread <3331 yatsa< > under <8478 tachath

 12 How <0349 >eyk > art thou fallen <5307 naphal > from heaven <8064
shamayim >, O Lucifer <1966 heylel >, son <1121 ben > of the morning <7837
shachar >! [how <0349 >eyk >] art thou cut <1438 gada< > down <1438 gada< >
to the ground <0776 >erets >, which didst weaken <2522 chalash > the nations
<1471 gowy >! 
 
 13 For thou hast said <0559 >amar > in thine heart <3824 lebab >, I will
ascend <5927 <alah > into heaven <8064 shamayim >, I will exalt <7311 ruwm >
my throne <3678 kicce> > above <4605 ma<al > the stars <3556 kowkab > of God
<0410 >el >: I will sit <3427 yashab > also upon the mount <2022 har > of the
congregation <4150 mow<ed >, in the sides <3411 y@rekah > of the north <6828
tsaphown >: 
 
 14 I will ascend <5927 <alah > above <5921 <al > the heights <1116 bamah >
of the clouds <5645 <ab >; I will be like <1819 damah > the most <5945

 15 Yet <0389 >ak > thou shalt be brought <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to
hell <7585 sh@>owl >, to the sides <3411 y@rekah > of the pit <0953 bowr >. 
 
 16 They that see <7200 ra>ah > thee shall narrowly look <7688 shagach > upon
thee, [and] consider <0995 biyn > thee, [saying <0559 >amar >, Is] this <2088
zeh > the man <0376 >iysh > that made the earth <0776 >erets > to tremble
<7264 ragaz >, that did shake <7493 ra<ash > kingdoms <4467 mamlakah >; 
 
 17 [That] made <7760 suwm > the world <8398 tebel > as a wilderness <4057
midbar >, and destroyed <2040 harac > the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof; [that]
opened <6605 pathach > not the house <1004 bayith > of his prisoners <0615
>aciyr >? 
 
 18 All <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of the nations <1471 gowy >,
[even] all <3605 kol > of them, lie <7901 shakab > in glory <3519 kabowd >,
every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > in his own house <1004 bayith >. 
 
 19 But thou art cast <7993 shalak > out of thy grave <6913 qeber > like an
abominable <8581 ta<ab > branch <5342 netser >, [and as] the raiment <3830
l@buwsh > of those that are slain <2026 harag >, thrust <2944 ta<an > through
<2944 ta<an > with a sword <2719 chereb >, that go <3381 yarad > down <3381
yarad > to the stones <68> of the pit <0953 bowr >; as a carcase <6297 peger

 20 Thou shalt not be joined <3161 yachad > with them in burial <6900
q@buwrah >, because <3588 kiy > thou hast destroyed <7843 shachath > thy land
<0776 >erets >, [and] slain <2026 harag > thy people <5971 <am >: the seed
<2233 zera< > of evildoers <7489 ra<a< > shall never be renowned <7121 qara>

 21 Prepare <3559 kuwn > slaughter <4293 matbeach > for his children <1121
ben > for the iniquity <5771 <avon > of their fathers <1>; that they do not
rise <6965 quwm >, nor possess <3423 yarash > the land <0776 >erets >, nor
fill <4390 male> > the face <6440 paniym > of the world <8398 tebel > with
cities <5892 <iyr >. 
 
 22 For I will rise <6965 quwm > up against <5921 <al > them, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, and cut <3772
karath > off from Babylon <0894 Babel > the name <8034 shem >, and remnant
<7605 sh@>ar >, and son <5209 niyn >, and nephew <5220 neked >, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. 
 
 23 I will also make <7760 suwm > it a possession <4180 mowrash > for the
bittern <7090 qippowd >, and pools <98> of water <4325 mayim >: and I will
sweep <2894 tuw> > it with the besom <4292 mat>ate> > of destruction <8045
shamad >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba>

 24. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath sworn <7650 shaba<

come <1961 hayah > to pass; and as I have purposed <3289 ya<ats >, [so <3651
ken >] shall it stand <6965 quwm >: 
 
 25 That I will break <7665 shabar > the Assyrian <0804 >Ashshuwr > in my
land <0776 >erets >, and upon my mountains <2022 har > tread <0947 buwc > him
under foot <0947 buwc >: then shall his yoke <5923 <ol > depart <5493 cuwr >
from off <5921 <al > them, and his burden <5448 cobel > depart <5493 cuwr >
from off <5921 <al > their shoulders <7926 sh@kem >. 
 
 26 This <2063 zo>th > [is] the purpose <6098 <etsah > that is purposed <3289
ya<ats > upon the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets >: and this <2063
zo>th > [is] the hand <3027 yad > that is stretched <5186 natah > out upon
all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy >. 
 
 27 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath purposed <3289
ya<ats >, and who <4310 miy > shall disannul <6565 parar > [it]? and his hand
<3027 yad > [is] stretched <5186 natah > out, and who <4310 miy > shall turn
<7725 shuwb > it back <7725 shuwb >? 
 
 28 In the year <8141 shaneh > that king <4428 melek > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz >
died <4194 maveth > was this <2088 zeh > burden <4853 massa> >. 
 
 29 Rejoice <8055 samach > not thou, whole <3605 kol > Palestina <6429
P@lesheth >, because <3588 kiy > the rod <7626 shebet > of him that smote
<5221 nakah > thee is broken <7665 shabar >: for out of the serpent's <5175
nachash > root <8328 sheresh > shall come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >
a cockatrice <6848 tsepha< >, and his fruit <6529 p@riy > [shall be] a fiery
<8314 saraph > flying <5774 <uwph > serpent <8314 saraph >. 
 
 30 And the firstborn <1060 b@kowr > of the poor <1800 dal > shall feed <7462
ra<ah >, and the needy <34> shall lie <7257 rabats > down <7257 rabats > in
safety <0983 betach >: and I will kill <4191 muwth > thy root <8328 sheresh >
with famine <7458 ra<ab >, and he shall slay <2026 harag > thy remnant <7611

 31 Howl <3213 yalal >, O gate <8179 sha<ar >; cry <2199 za<aq >, O city
<5892 <iyr >; thou, whole <3605 kol > Palestina <6429 P@lesheth >, [art]
dissolved <4127 muwg >: for there shall come <0935 bow> > from the north

alone <0909 badad > in his appointed <4151 mow<ad > times <4151 mow<ad >. 
 
 32 What <4100 mah > shall [one] then answer <6030 <anah > the messengers
<4397 mal>ak > of the nation <1471 gowy >? That the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath
founded <3245 yacad > Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, and the poor <6041 <aniy > of his
people <5971 <am > shall trust <2620 chacah > in it. 
 
Jeremiah 50 
 
 1. The word <1697 dabar > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar >
against <0413 >el > Babylon <0894 Babel > [and] against <0413 >el > the land
<0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > by Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >
the prophet <5030 nabiy> >. 
 
 2 Declare <5046 nagad > ye among the nations <1471 gowy >, and publish <8085
shama< >, and set <5375 nasa> > up a standard <5251 nec >; publish <8085
shama< >, [and] conceal <3582 kachad > not: say <0559 >amar >, Babylon <0894
Babel > is taken <3920 lakad >, Bel <1078 Bel > is confounded <3001 yabesh >,
Merodach <4781 M@rodak > is broken <2844 chath > in pieces; her idols <6091
<atsab > are confounded <3001 yabesh >, her images <1544 gilluwl > are broken
<2865 chathath > in pieces. 
 
 3 For out of the north <6828 tsaphown > there cometh <5927 <alah > up a
nation <1471 gowy > against <5921 <al > her, which <1931 huw> > shall make
<7896 shiyth > her land <0776 >erets > desolate <8047 shammah >, and none

b@hemah >. 
 
 4 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm >, and in that time <6256 <eth >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the children <1121 ben > of

 6 My people <5971 <am > hath been <1961 hayah > lost <6> sheep <6629 tso>n

 7 All <3605 kol > that found <4672 matsa> > them have devoured <0398 >akal >

 13 Because of the wrath <7110 qetseph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > it shall

 17 Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [is] a scattered <6340 pazar > sheep <7716 seh >;

 19 And I will bring <7725 shuwb > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > again <7725 shuwb

 20 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm >, and in that time <6256 <eth >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the iniquity <5771 <avon > of

 21. Go <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > the land <0776 >erets > of

 24 I have laid a snare <3369 yaqosh > for thee, and thou art also <1571 gam

 25 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath opened <6605 pathach > his armoury <0214

 26 Come <0935 bow> > against her from the utmost <7093 qets > border <7093

 28 The voice <6963 qowl > of them that flee <5127 nuwc > and escape <6412

 29 Call <8085 shama< > together the archers <7228 rab > against <0413 >el >

 30 Therefore <3651 ken > shall her young <0970 bachuwr > men fall <5307

 31 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am <1961 hayah >] against <0413 >el > thee, [O

 32 And the most proud <2087 zadown > shall stumble <3782 kashal > and fall

 33. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> >; The children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and the

 34 Their Redeemer <1350 ga>al > [is] strong <2389 chazaq >; the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > [is] his name <8034 shem >: he shall

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Babylon <0894 Babel >. 
 
 35 A sword <2719 chereb > [is] upon the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and upon the inhabitants <3427 yashab

 36 A sword <2719 chereb > [is] upon the liars <0907 bad >; and they shall

 37 A sword <2719 chereb > [is] upon their horses <5483 cuwc >, and upon
their chariots <7393 rekeb >, and upon all <3605 kol > the mingled <6154
<ereb > people that [are] in the midst <8432 tavek > of her; and they shall
become <1961 hayah > as women <0802 >ishshah >: a sword <2719 chereb > [is]

 38 A drought <2721 choreb > [is] upon her waters <4325 mayim >; and they
shall be dried <3001 yabesh > up: for it [is] the land <0776 >erets > of
graven <6456 p@ciyl > images, and they are mad <1984 halal > upon [their]

 39 Therefore <3651 ken > the wild <6728 tsiyiy > beasts <6728 tsiyiy > of
the desert <6728 tsiyiy > with the wild <0338 >iy > beasts <0338 >iy > of the

 40 As God <0430 >elohiym > overthrew <4114 mahpekah > Sodom <5467 C@dom >
and Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah > and the neighbour <7934 shaken > [cities]

 41 Behold <2009 hinneh >, a people <5971 <am > shall come <0935 bow> > from
the north <6828 tsaphown >, and a great <1419 gadowl > nation <1471 gowy >,

the coasts <3411 y@rekah > of the earth <0776 >erets >. 
 
 42 They shall hold <2388 chazaq > the bow <7198 qesheth > and the lance
<3591 kiydown >: they [are] cruel <0394 >akzariy >, and will not shew mercy
<7355 racham >: their voice <6963 qowl > shall roar <1993 hamah > like the
sea <3220 yam >, and they shall ride <7392 rakab > upon horses <5483 cuwc >,
[every one] put in array <6186 <arak >, like a man <0376 >iysh > to the
battle <4421 milchamah >, against <5921 <al > thee, O daughter <1323 bath >
of Babylon <0894 Babel >. 
 
 43 The king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > hath heard <8085 shama< >
the report <8088 shema< > of them, and his hands <3027 yad > waxed feeble
<7503 raphah >: anguish <6869 tsarah > took hold <2388 chazaq > of him, [and]
pangs <2427 chiyl > as of a woman in travail <3205 yalad >. 
 
 44 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up like a lion <0738

that shepherd <7462 ra<ah > that will stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym

 45 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > ye the counsel <6098 <etsah >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that he hath taken <3289 ya<ats > against <0413

[their] habitation <5116 naveh > desolate <8074 shamem > with them. 
 
 46 At the noise <6963 qowl > of the taking <8610 taphas > of Babylon <0894
Babel > the earth <0776 >erets > is moved <7493 ra<ash >, and the cry <2201

Jeremiah 51 
 
 1. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold

 2 And will send <7971 shalach > unto Babylon <0894 Babel > fanners <2114

land <0776 >erets >: for in the day <3117 yowm > of trouble <7451 ra< > they

 3 Against <0413 >el > [him that] bendeth <1869 darak > let the archer <1869

charam > ye utterly all <3605 kol > her host <6635 tsaba> >. 
 
 4 Thus the slain <2491 chalal > shall fall <5307 naphal > in the land <0776

One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >. 
 
 6 Flee <5127 nuwc > out of the midst <8432 tavek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >,
and deliver <4422 malat > every man <0376 >iysh > his soul <5315 nephesh >:

 7 Babylon <0894 Babel > [hath been] a golden <2091 zahab > cup <3563 kowc >

 9 We would have healed <7495 rapha> > Babylon <0894 Babel >, but she is not

our righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >: come <0935 bow> >, and let us declare

 11 Make bright <1305 barar > the arrows <1121 ben >; gather <4390 male> >
the shields <7982 shelet >: the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath raised <5782 <uwr >

Maday >: for his device <4209 m@zimmah > [is] against <5921 <al > Babylon
<0894 Babel >, to destroy <7843 shachath > it; because <3588 kiy > it [is]
the vengeance <5360 n@qamah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the vengeance
<5360 n@qamah > of his temple <1964 heykal >. 
 
 12 Set <5375 nasa> > up the standard <5251 nec > upon the walls <2346

<0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > against <0413 >el > the inhabitants
<3427 yashab > of Babylon <0894 Babel >. 
 
 13 O thou that dwellest <7931 shakan > upon many <7227 rab > waters <4325
mayim >, abundant <7227 rab > in treasures <0214 >owtsar >, thine end <7093

covetousness <1215 betsa< >. 
 
 14 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath sworn <7650 shaba<

with men <0120 >adam >, as with caterpillers <3218 yekeq >; and they shall
lift <6030 <anah > up a shout <1959 heydad > against <5921 <al > thee. 
 
 15 He hath made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 >erets > by his power <3581
koach >, he hath established <3559 kuwn > the world <8398 tebel > by his
wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and hath stretched <5186 natah > out the heaven <8064
shamayim > by his understanding <8394 tabuwn >. 
 
 16 When he uttereth <5414 nathan > [his] voice <6963 qowl >, [there is] a
multitude <0527 >amown > of waters <4325 mayim > in the heavens <8064
shamayim >; and he causeth the vapours <5387 nasiy> > to ascend <5927 <alah >
from the ends <7097 qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets >: he maketh <6213
<asah > lightnings <1300 baraq > with rain <4306 matar >, and bringeth <3318

 17 Every <3605 kol > man <0120 >adam > is brutish <1197 ba<ar > by [his]
knowledge <1847 da<ath >; every <3605 kol > founder <6884 tsaraph > is
confounded <3001 yabesh > by the graven <6459 pecel > image <6459 pecel >:
for his molten <5262 necek > image [is] falsehood <8267 sheqer >, and [there

 18 They [are] vanity <1892 hebel >, the work <4639 ma<aseh > of errors <8595
ta<tua< >: in the time <6256 <eth > of their visitation <6486 p@quddah > they
shall perish <6>. 
 
 19 The portion <2506 cheleq > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > [is] not like them;
for he [is] the former <3335 yatsar > of all <3605 kol > things: and [Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > is] the rod <7626 shebet > of his inheritance <5159 nachalah

 20 Thou [art] my battle <4661 mappets > axe <4601 Ma<akah > [and] weapons

 22 With thee also will I break <5310 naphats > in pieces man <0376 >iysh >

 23 I will also break <5310 naphats > in pieces with thee the shepherd <7462

 24 And I will render <7999 shalam > unto Babylon <0894 Babel > and to all
<3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Chaldea <3778 Kasdiy > all
<3605 kol > their evil <7451 ra< > that they have done <6213 <asah > in Zion
<6726 Tsiyown > in your sight <5869 <ayin >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD

 25 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against <0413 >el > thee, O destroying <4889

roll <1556 galal > thee down from the rocks <5553 cela< >, and will make
<5414 nathan > thee a burnt <8316 s@rephah > mountain <2022 har >. 
 
 26 And they shall not take <3947 laqach > of thee a stone <68> for a corner

shalt be desolate <8077 sh@mamah > for ever <5769 <owlam >, saith <5002 n@>um

 27 Set <5375 nasa> > ye up a standard <5251 nec > in the land <0776 >erets

the rough <5569 camar > caterpillers <3218 yekeq >. 
 
 28 Prepare <6942 qadash > against <5921 <al > her the nations <1471 gowy >
with the kings <4428 melek > of the Medes <4074 Maday >, the captains <6346

all <3605 kol > the land <0776 >erets > of his dominion <4475 memshalah >. 
 
 29 And the land <0776 >erets > shall tremble <7493 ra<ash > and sorrow <2342
chuwl >: for every purpose <4284 machashabah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

desolation <8047 shammah > without <0369 >ayin > an inhabitant <3427 yashab

 30 The mighty <1368 gibbowr > men of Babylon <0894 Babel > have forborn
<2308 chadal > to fight <3898 lacham >, they have remained <3427 yashab > in
[their] holds <4679 m@tsad >: their might <1369 g@buwrah > hath failed <5405

burned <3341 yatsath > her dwellingplaces <4908 mishkan >; her bars <1280

 31 One post <7323 ruwts > shall run <7323 ruwts > to meet <7125 qir>ah >
another, and one messenger <5046 nagad > to meet <7125 qir>ah > another, to

city <5892 <iyr > is taken <3920 lakad > at [one] end <7097 qatseh >, 
 
 32 And that the passages <4569 ma<abar > are stopped <8610 taphas >, and the

men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah > are affrighted <0926 bahal >. 
 
 33 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >;
The daughter <1323 bath > of Babylon <0894 Babel > [is] like a threshingfloor
<1637 goren >, [it is] time <6256 <eth > to thresh <1869 darak > her: yet
<5750 <owd > a little <4592 m@<at > while, and the time <6256 <eth > of her
harvest <7105 qatsiyr > shall come <0935 bow> >. 
 
 34 Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > the king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel > hath devoured <0398 >akal > me, he hath crushed <2000

he hath filled <4390 male> > his belly <3770 k@res > with my delicates <5730
<eden >, he hath cast <1740 duwach > me out. 
 
 35 The violence <2555 chamac > done <6213 <asah > to me and to my flesh
<7607 sh@>er > [be] upon Babylon <0894 Babel >, shall the inhabitant <3427

upon the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Chaldea <3778 Kasdiy >, shall
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > say <0559 >amar >. 
 
 36 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will plead <7378 riyb > thy cause <7379 riyb

 37 And Babylon <0894 Babel > shall become <1961 hayah > heaps <1530 gal >, a
dwellingplace <3427 yashab > for dragons <8577 tanniyn >, an astonishment
<8047 shammah >, and an hissing <8322 sh@reqah >, without <0369 >ayin > an
inhabitant <3427 yashab >. 
 
 38 They shall roar <7580 sha>ag > together <3162 yachad > like lions <3715
k@phiyr >: they shall yell <5286 na<ar > as lions <0738 >ariy >' whelps <1484

 39 In their heat <2527 chom > I will make <7896 shiyth > their feasts <4960
mishteh >, and I will make them drunken <7937 shakar >, that they may rejoice
<5937 <alaz >, and sleep <3462 yashen > a perpetual <5769 <owlam > sleep
<8142 shehah >, and not wake <6974 quwts >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >. 
 
 40 I will bring <3381 yarad > them down <3381 yarad > like lambs <3733 kar >
to the slaughter <2873 tabach >, like rams <0352 >ayil > with he goats <6260
<attuwd >. 
 
 41 How <0349 >eyk > is Sheshach <8347 Sheshak > taken <3920 lakad >! and how
is the praise <8416 t@hillah > of the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets >
surprised <8610 taphas >! how <0349 >eyk > is Babylon <0894 Babel > become
<1961 hayah > an astonishment <8047 shammah > among the nations <1471 gowy >!

 
 42 The sea <3220 yam > is come <5927 <alah > up upon Babylon <0894 Babel >:
she is covered <3680 kacah > with the multitude <0527 >amown > of the waves
<1530 gal > thereof. 
 
 43 Her cities <5892 <iyr > are a desolation <8047 shammah >, a dry <6723
tsiyah > land <0776 >erets >, and a wilderness <6160 <arabah >, a land <0776

 44 And I will punish <6485 paqad > Bel <1078 Bel > in Babylon <0894 Babel >,
and I will bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of his mouth <6310

yea <1571 gam >, the wall <2346 chowmah > of Babylon <0894 Babel > shall fall

 45 My people <5971 <am >, go <3318 yatsa> > ye out of the midst <8432 tavek

 46 And lest <6435 pen > your heart <3824 lebab > faint <7401 rakak >, and ye
fear <3372 yare> > for the rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah > that shall be heard <8085

[another] year <8141 shaneh > [shall come] a rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah >, and
violence <2555 chamac > in the land <0776 >erets >, ruler <4910 mashal >

 47 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come

 48 Then the heaven <8064 shamayim > and the earth <0776 >erets >, and all

 49 As Babylon <0894 Babel > [hath caused] the slain <2491 chalal > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > to fall <5307 naphal >, so at Babylon <0894 Babel > shall
fall <5307 naphal > the slain <2491 chalal > of all <3605 kol > the earth

 50 Ye that have escaped <6412 paliyt > the sword <2719 chereb >, go <1980
halak > away, stand <5975 <amad > not still <5975 <amad >: remember <2142

 51 We are confounded <0954 buwsh >, because <3588 kiy > we have heard <8085

 52 Wherefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come

 53 Though <3588 kiy > Babylon <0894 Babel > should mount <5927 <alah > up to
heaven <8064 shamayim >, and though <3588 kiy > she should fortify <1219

shall spoilers <7703 shadad > come <0935 bow> > unto her, saith <5002 n@>um >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. 
 
 54 A sound <6963 qowl > of a cry <2201 za<aq > [cometh <0935 bow> >] from
Babylon <0894 Babel >, and great <1419 gadowl > destruction <7667 sheber >
from the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >: 
 
 55 Because <3588 kiy > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoiled <7703 shadad >
Babylon <0894 Babel >, and destroyed <6> out of her the great <1419 gadowl >
voice <6963 qowl >; when her waves <1530 gal > do roar <1993 hamah > like
great <7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim >, a noise <7588 sha>own > of their

 56 Because <3588 kiy > the spoiler <7703 shadad > is come <0935 bow> > upon
her, [even] upon Babylon <0894 Babel >, and her mighty <1368 gibbowr > men
are taken <3920 lakad >, every one of their bows <7198 qesheth > is broken
<2865 chathath >: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0410 >el > of recompences
<1578 g@muwlah > shall surely requite <7999 shalam >. 
 
 57 And I will make drunk <7937 shakar > her princes <8269 sar >, and her
wise <2450 chakam > [men], her captains <6346 pechah >, and her rulers <5461
cagan >, and her mighty <1368 gibbowr > men: and they shall sleep <3462

[is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >. 
 
 58 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> >; The broad <7342 rachab > walls <2346 chowmah > of Babylon

<7385 riyq >, and the folk <3816 l@om > in the fire <0784 >esh >, and they
shall be weary <3286 ya<aph >. 
 
 59. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the
prophet <5030 nabiy> > commanded <6680 tsavah > Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the

the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into Babylon <0894 Babel >
in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak

 60 So Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > wrote <3789 kathab > in a book <5612 cepher

 61 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > to Seraiah <8304 S@rayah
