Jeremiah Chapter 51 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> Behold, I will raise up <H5782> against Babylon, <H0894> and against them that dwell <H3427> in the midst <H3820> of them that rise up <H6965> against me, a destroying <H7843> wind; <H7307>
2: And will send <H7971> unto Babylon <H0894> fanners, <H2114> that shall fan <H2219> her, and shall empty <H1238> her land: <H0776> for in the day <H3117> of trouble <H7451> they shall be against her round about. <H5439>
3: Against [him that] bendeth <H1869> let the archer <H1869> bend <H1869> his bow, <H7198> and against [him that] lifteth himself up <H5927> in his brigandine: <H5630> and spare <H2550> ye not her young men; <H0970> destroy ye utterly <H2763> all her host. <H6635>
4: Thus the slain <H2491> shall fall <H5307> in the land <H0776> of the Chaldeans, <H3778> and [they that are] thrust through <H1856> in her streets. <H2351>
5: For Israel <H3478> [hath] not [been] forsaken, <H0488> nor Judah <H3063> of his God, <H0430> of the LORD <H3068> of hosts; <H6635> though their land <H0776> was filled <H4390> with sin <H0817> against the Holy One <H6918> of Israel. <H3478>
6: Flee <H5127> out of the midst <H8432> of Babylon, <H0894> and deliver <H4422> every man <H0376> his soul: <H5315> be not cut off <H1826> in her iniquity; <H5771> for this [is] the time <H6256> of the LORD'S <H3068> vengeance; <H5360> he will render <H7999> unto her a recompence. <H1576>
7: Babylon <H0894> [hath been] a golden <H2091> cup <H3563> in the LORD'S <H3068> hand, <H3027> that made all the earth <H0776> drunken: <H7937> the nations <H1471> have drunken <H8354> of her wine; <H3196> therefore the nations <H1471> are mad. <H1984>
8: Babylon <H0894> is suddenly <H6597> fallen <H5307> and destroyed: <H7665> howl <H3213> for her; take <H3947> balm <H6875> for her pain, <H4341> if so be she may be healed. <H7495>
9: We would have healed <H7495> Babylon, <H0894> but she is not healed: <H7495> forsake <H5800> her, and let us go <H3212> every one <H0376> into his own country: <H0776> for her judgment <H4941> reacheth <H5060> unto heaven, <H8064> and is lifted up <H5375> [even] to the skies. <H7834>
10: The LORD <H3068> hath brought forth <H3318> our righteousness: <H6666> come, <H0935> and let us declare <H5608> in Zion <H6726> the work <H4639> of the LORD <H3068> our God. <H0430>
11: Make bright <H1305> the arrows; <H2671> gather <H4390> the shields: <H7982> the LORD <H3068> hath raised up <H5782> the spirit <H7307> of the kings <H4428> of the Medes: <H4074> for his device <H4209> [is] against Babylon, <H0894> to destroy <H7843> it; because it [is] the vengeance <H5360> of the LORD, <H3068> the vengeance <H5360> of his temple. <H1964>
12: Set up <H5375> the standard <H5251> upon the walls <H2346> of Babylon, <H0894> make the watch <H4929> strong, <H2388> set up <H6965> the watchmen, <H8104> prepare <H3559> the ambushes: <H0693> for the LORD <H3068> hath both devised <H2161> and done <H6213> that which he spake <H1696> against the inhabitants <H3427> of Babylon. <H0894>
13: O thou that dwellest <H7931> upon many <H7227> waters, <H4325> abundant <H7227> in treasures, <H0214> thine end <H7093> is come, <H0935> [and] the measure <H0520> of thy covetousness. <H1215>
14: The LORD <H3068> of hosts <H6635> hath sworn <H7650> by himself, <H5315> [saying], Surely I will fill <H4390> thee with men, <H0120> as with caterpillers; <H3218> and they shall lift up <H6030> a shout <H1959> against thee.
15: He hath made <H6213> the earth <H0776> 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: When he uttereth <H5414> [his] voice, <H6963> [there is] a multitude <H1995> of waters <H4325> in the heavens; <H8064> and he causeth the vapours <H5387> to ascend <H5927> from the ends <H7097> of the earth: <H0776> he maketh <H6213> lightnings <H1300> with rain, <H4306> and bringeth forth <H3318> the wind <H7307> out of his treasures. <H0214>
17: Every man <H0120> is brutish <H1197> by [his] knowledge; <H1847> every founder <H6884> is confounded <H3001> by the graven image: <H6459> for his molten image <H5262> [is] falsehood, <H8267> and [there is] no breath <H7307> in them.
18: They [are] vanity, <H1892> the work <H4639> of errors: <H8595> in the time <H6256> of their visitation <H6486> they shall perish. <H0006>
19: The portion <H2506> of Jacob <H3290> [is] not like them; for he [is] the former <H3335> of all things: and [Israel is] the rod <H7626> of his inheritance: <H5159> the LORD <H3068> of hosts <H6635> [is] his name. <H8034>
20: Thou [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 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: With thee also will I break in pieces <H5310> man <H0376> and woman; <H0802> 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 <H0970> and the maid; <H1330>
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 <H0406> and his yoke <H6776> of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces <H5310> captains <H6346> and rulers. <H5461>
24: And I will render <H7999> unto Babylon <H0894> and to all the inhabitants <H3427> of Chaldea <H3778> all their evil <H7451> that they have done <H6213> in Zion <H6726> in your sight, <H5869> saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
25: Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying <H4889> mountain, <H2022> saith <H5002> the LORD, <H3068> which destroyest <H7843> all the earth: <H0776> and I will stretch out <H5186> mine hand <H3027> upon thee, and roll thee down <H1556> from the rocks, <H5553> and will make <H5414> thee a burnt <H8316> mountain. <H2022>
26: And they shall not take <H3947> of thee a stone <H0068> for a corner, <H6438> nor a stone <H0068> for foundations; <H4146> but thou shalt be desolate <H8077> for ever, <H5769> saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
27: Set ye up <H5375> a standard <H5251> in the land, <H0776> blow <H8628> the trumpet <H7782> among the nations, <H1471> prepare <H6942> the nations <H1471> against her, call together <H8085> against her the kingdoms <H4467> of Ararat, <H0780> Minni, <H4508> and Ashchenaz; <H0813> appoint <H6485> a captain <H2951> against her; cause the horses <H5483> to come up <H5927> as the rough <H5569> caterpillers. <H3218>
28: Prepare <H6942> against her the nations <H1471> with the kings <H4428> of the Medes, <H4074> the captains <H6346> thereof, and all the rulers <H5461> thereof, and all the land <H0776> of his dominion. <H4475>
29: And the land <H0776> shall tremble <H7493> and sorrow: <H2342> for every purpose <H4284> of the LORD <H3068> shall be performed <H6965> against Babylon, <H0894> to make <H7760> the land <H0776> of Babylon <H0894> a desolation <H8047> without an inhabitant. <H3427>
30: The mighty men <H1368> of Babylon <H0894> have forborn <H2308> to fight, <H3898> they have remained <H3427> in [their] holds: <H4679> their might <H1369> hath failed; <H5405> they became as women: <H0802> they have burned <H3341> her dwellingplaces; <H4908> her bars <H1280> are broken. <H7665>
31: One post <H7323> shall run <H7323> to meet <H7125> another, <H7323> and one messenger <H5046> to meet <H7125> another, <H5046> to shew <H5046> the king <H4428> of Babylon <H0894> that his city <H5892> is taken <H3920> at [one] end, <H7097>
32: And that the passages <H4569> are stopped, <H8610> and the reeds <H0098> they have burned <H8313> with fire, <H0784> and the men <H0582> of war <H4421> are affrighted. <H0926>
33: For thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> the God <H0430> of Israel; <H3478> The daughter <H1323> of Babylon <H0894> [is] like a threshingfloor, <H1637> [it is] time <H6256> to thresh <H1869> her: yet a little <H4592> while, and the time <H6256> of her harvest <H7105> shall come. <H0935>
34: Nebuchadrezzar <H5019> the king <H4428> of Babylon <H0894> hath devoured <H0398> 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 delicates, <H5730> he hath cast me out. <H1740>
35: The violence <H2555> done to me and to my flesh <H7607> [be] upon Babylon, <H0894> shall the inhabitant <H3427> of Zion <H6726> say; <H0559> and my blood <H1818> upon the inhabitants <H3427> of Chaldea, <H3778> shall Jerusalem <H3389> say. <H0559>
36: Therefore thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> Behold, I will plead <H7378> thy cause, <H7379> and take vengeance <H5358> for thee; <H5360> and I will dry up <H2717> her sea, <H3220> and make her springs <H4726> dry. <H3001>
37: And Babylon <H0894> shall become heaps, <H1530> a dwellingplace <H4583> for dragons, <H8577> an astonishment, <H8047> and an hissing, <H8322> without an inhabitant. <H3427>
38: They shall roar <H7580> together <H3162> like lions: <H3715> they shall yell <H5286> as lions' <H0738> whelps. <H1484>
39: In their heat <H2527> I will make <H7896> their feasts, <H4960> and I will make them drunken, <H7937> that they may rejoice, <H5937> and sleep <H3462> a perpetual <H5769> sleep, <H8142> and not wake, <H6974> saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
40: I will bring them down <H3381> like lambs <H3733> to the slaughter, <H2873> like rams <H0352> with he goats. <H6260>
41: How is Sheshach <H8347> taken! <H3920> and how is the praise <H8416> of the whole earth <H0776> surprised! <H8610> how is Babylon <H0894> become an astonishment <H8047> among the nations! <H1471>
42: The sea <H3220> is come up <H5927> upon Babylon: <H0894> she is covered <H3680> with the multitude <H1995> of the waves <H1530> thereof.
43: Her cities <H5892> are a desolation, <H8047> a dry <H6723> land, <H0776> and a wilderness, <H6160> a land <H0776> wherein <H2004> no man <H0376> dwelleth, <H3427> neither doth [any] son <H1121> of man <H0120> pass <H5674> thereby. <H2004>
44: And I will punish <H6485> Bel <H1078> in Babylon, <H0894> and I will bring forth <H3318> out of his mouth <H6310> that which he hath swallowed up: <H1105> and the nations <H1471> shall not flow together <H5102> any more unto him: yea, the wall <H2346> of Babylon <H0894> shall fall. <H5307>
45: My people, <H5971> go ye out <H3318> of the midst <H8432> of her, and deliver <H4422> ye every man <H0376> his soul <H5315> from the fierce <H2740> anger <H0639> of the LORD. <H3068>
46: And lest your heart <H3824> faint, <H7401> and ye fear <H3372> for the rumour <H8052> that shall be heard <H8085> in the land; <H0776> a rumour <H8052> shall both come <H0935> [one] year, <H8141> and after <H0310> that in [another] year <H8141> [shall come] a rumour, <H8052> and violence <H2555> in the land, <H0776> ruler <H4910> against ruler. <H4910>
47: Therefore, behold, the days <H3117> come, <H0935> that I will do judgment <H6485> upon the graven images <H6456> of Babylon: <H0894> and her whole land <H0776> shall be confounded, <H0954> and all her slain <H2491> shall fall <H5307> in the midst <H8432> of her.
48: Then the heaven <H8064> and the earth, <H0776> and all that [is] therein, shall sing <H7442> for Babylon: <H0894> for the spoilers <H7703> shall come <H0935> unto her from the north, <H6828> saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
49: As <H1571> Babylon <H0894> [hath caused] the slain <H2491> of Israel <H3478> to fall, <H5307> so <H1571> at Babylon <H0894> shall fall <H5307> the slain <H2491> of all the earth. <H0776>
50: Ye that have escaped <H6405> the sword, <H2719> go away, <H1980> stand not still: <H5975> remember <H2142> the LORD <H3068> afar off, <H7350> and let Jerusalem <H3389> come <H5927> into your mind. <H3824>
51: We are confounded, <H0954> because we have heard <H8085> reproach: <H2781> shame <H3639> hath covered <H3680> our faces: <H6440> for strangers <H2114> are come <H0935> into the sanctuaries <H4720> of the LORD'S <H3068> house. <H1004>
52: Wherefore, behold, the days <H3117> come, <H0935> saith <H5002> the LORD, <H3068> that I will do judgment <H6485> upon her graven images: <H6456> and through all her land <H0776> the wounded <H2491> shall groan. <H0602>
53: Though Babylon <H0894> should mount up <H5927> to heaven, <H8064> and though she should fortify <H1219> the height <H4791> of her strength, <H5797> [yet] <H0227> from me shall spoilers <H7703> come <H0935> unto her, saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
54: A sound <H6963> of a cry <H2201> [cometh] from Babylon, <H0894> and great <H1419> destruction <H7667> from the land <H0776> of the Chaldeans: <H3778>
55: Because the LORD <H3068> hath spoiled <H7703> Babylon, <H0894> and destroyed <H0006> out of 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: Because the spoiler <H7703> is come <H0935> upon her, [even] upon Babylon, <H0894> and her mighty men <H1368> are taken, <H3920> every one of their bows <H7198> is broken: <H2865> for the LORD <H3068> God <H0410> of recompences <H1578> shall surely <H7999> requite. <H7999>
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 wake, <H6974> saith <H5002> the King, <H4428> whose name <H8034> [is] the LORD <H3068> of hosts. <H6635>
58: Thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts; <H6635> The broad <H7342> walls <H2346> of Babylon <H0894> shall be utterly <H6209> broken, <H6209> and her high <H1364> gates <H8179> shall be burned <H3341> with fire; <H0784> and the people <H5971> shall labour <H3021> in <H1767> vain, <H7385> and the folk <H3816> in <H1767> the fire, <H0784> and they shall be weary. <H3286>
59: The word <H1697> which Jeremiah <H3414> the prophet <H5030> commanded <H6680> Seraiah <H8304> the son <H1121> of Neriah, <H5374> the son <H1121> of Maaseiah, <H4271> when he went <H3212> with Zedekiah <H6667> the king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> into Babylon <H0894> in the fourth <H7243> year <H8141> of his reign. <H4427> And [this] Seraiah <H8304> [was] a quiet <H4496> prince. <H8269>
60: So Jeremiah <H3414> wrote <H3789> in a <H0259> book <H5612> all the evil <H7451> that should come <H0935> upon Babylon, <H0894> [even] all these words <H1697> that are written <H3789> against Babylon. <H0894>
61: And Jeremiah <H3414> said <H0559> to Seraiah, <H8304> When thou comest <H0935> to Babylon, <H0894> and shalt see, <H7200> and shalt read <H7121> all these words; <H1697>
62: Then shalt thou say, <H0559> O LORD, <H3068> thou hast spoken <H1696> against this place, <H4725> to cut it off, <H3772> that none shall remain <H3427> in it, neither man <H0120> nor beast, <H0929> but that it shall be desolate <H8077> for ever. <H5769>
63: And it shall be, when thou hast made an end <H3615> of reading <H7121> this book, <H5612> [that] thou shalt bind <H7194> a stone <H0068> to it, and cast <H7993> it into the midst <H8432> of Euphrates: <H6578>
64: And thou shalt say, <H0559> Thus shall Babylon <H0894> sink, <H8257> and shall not rise <H6965> from <H6440> the evil <H7451> that I will bring <H0935> upon her: and they shall be weary. <H3286> Thus far [are] the words <H1697> of Jeremiah. <H3414>
