32: and the passagesH4569 are blocked,H8610 andH0853 the reedsH0098 they have burnedH8313 with fire,H0784 and menH0376 of the warH4421 are terrified.H0926

33: ForH3588 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH0430 of Israel-H3478 the daughterH1323 of BabylonH0894 [is] like a threshing floor,H1637 [When it is] timeH6256 to thresh herH1869 yetH5750 a little while,H4592 and will come.H0935 The timeH6256 of harvestH7105 Has devoured meH0398 he has crushed meH2000 NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH0894 He has made meH3322 vessel,H3627 an emptyH7385 He has swallowed me upH1104 like a monster,H8577 He has filledH4390 his stomachH3770 with my delicacies,H5730 He has spit me out.H1740

35: Let the violence [done] to meH2555 and my fleshH7607 [be] uponH5921 Babylon,H0894 will say-H0559 the inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726 and my bloodH1818 be uponH0413 the inhabitantsH3427 of Chaldea,H3778 will sayH0559 Jerusalem.H3389

37: And shall becomeH1961 BabylonH0894 a heap,H1530 a dwelling place forH4583 jackals,H8577 An astonishment,H8047 and a hissing,H8322 withoutH0369 an inhabitant.H3427

38: TogetherH3162 like lions-H3715 they shall roarH7580 they shall growlH5286 like whelpsH1484 lions'.H0738

39: In their excitementH2527 I will prepareH7896 -H0853 their feasts,H4960 and I will make them drunk,H7937 thatH4616 they may rejoice,H5937 and sleepH3462 a sleep,H8142 perpetualH5769 and notH3808 awake,H6974 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

40: I will bring them downH3381 Like lambsH3733 to the slaughter,H2873 Like ramsH0352 withH5973 male goats.H6260

41: Oh howH0349 is taken!H3920 SheshachH8347 and Oh how is seized!H8610 the praiseH8416 of allH3605 the earthH0776 howH0349 has becomeH1961 desolateH8047 BabylonH0894 among the nations!H1471

42: has come upH5927 overH5921 Babylon-H0894 the seaH3220 with the multitudeH1995 of its wavesH1530 she is covered.H3680

43: AreH1961 Her citiesH5892 a desolation,H8047 land,H0776 a dryH6723 and a wilderness,H6160 a landH0776 noH3808 dwells,H3427 allH3605 oneH0376 and noH3808 passesH5674 Through whichH2004 sonH1121 of man.H0120

44: And I will punishH6485 uponH5921 BelH1078 in Babylon,H0894 and I will bring outH3318 -H0853 what he has swallowed-H1105 of his mouthH6310 and notH3808 shall streamH5102 to himH0413 anymoreH5750 the nationsH1471 Yes,H1571 the wallH2346 of BabylonH0894 shall fall.H5307

45: GoH3318 out of the midst of herH8432 My people,H5971 and let deliverH4422 everyoneH0376 -H0853 himselfH5315 from fierceH2740 the angerH0639 of Yahweh.H3068

46: And lestH6435 faint,H7401 your heartH3824 and you fearH3372 for the rumorH8052 that [will be] heardH8085 in the land-H0776 and will comeH0935 [one] year,H8141 a rumorH8052 and after thatH0310 in [another] yearH8141 a rumor [will come],H8052 and violenceH2555 in the land,H0776 and RulerH4910 againstH5921 ruler.H4910

47: Therefore,H3651 behold,H2009 the daysH3117 are coming,H0935 that I will bring judgmentH6485 onH5921 the carved imagesH6456 of Babylon-H0894 and wholeH3605 Her landH0776 shall be ashamed,H0954 and allH3605 her slainH2491 shall fallH5307 in her midst.H8432

48: And shall sing joyouslyH7442 overH5921 Babylon,H0894 the heavensH8064 and the earth,H0776 and allH3605 that [is]H0834 forH3588 from the north,H6828 shall comeH0935 the plunderersH7703 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

49: AsH1571 BabylonH0894 [has caused] to fall,H5307 the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 soH1571 at BabylonH0894 shall fallH5307 the slainH2491 of allH3605 the earth.H0776

50: You who have escapedH6412 the sword,H2719 Get away,H1980 notH0408 do stand still!H5975 RememberH2142 afar off,H7350 -H0853 YahwehH3068 and JerusalemH3389 let comeH5927 toH5921 your mind.H3824

51: We are ashamed,H0954 becauseH3588 we have heardH8085 reproach-H2781 has coveredH3680 ShameH3639 our faces,H6440 forH3588 have comeH0935 strangersH2114 intoH5921 the sanctuariesH4720 of the houseH1004 of Yahweh.H3068

52: Therefore,H3651 behold,H2009 the daysH3117 are coming,H0935 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 that I will bring judgmentH6485 onH5921 her carved images,H6456 and throughout allH3605 her landH0776 shall groanH0602 the wounded.H2491

53: ThoughH3588 were to mount upH5927 BabylonH0894 to heaven,H8064 and thoughH3588 she were to fortifyH1219 the heightH4791 of her strength,H5797 [Yet] from MeH0854 would comeH0935 plunderersH7703 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

54: The soundH6963 of a cryH2201 [comes] from BabylonH0894 and destructionH7667 greatH1419 from the landH0776 of the Chaldeans!H3778

55: becauseH3588 is plunderingH7703 YahwehH3068 -H0853 Babylon,H0894 and silencingH0006 herH4480 voice-H6963 loudH1419 and Though roarH1993 her wavesH1530 like waters,H4325 greatH7227 and is uttered-H5414 the noiseH7588 of their voice.H6963

56: BecauseH3588 comesH0935 against herH5921 againstH5921 Babylon,H0894 the plundererH7703 and are taken,H3920 her mighty menH1368 is broken-H2865 every one of their bowsH7198 forH3588 the GodH0410 of recompenseH1578 Yahweh [is]H3068 surelyH7999 He will repay.H7999

57: And I will make drunkH7937 Her princes,H8269 and wise menH2450 Her governors,H6346 and her deputies,H5461 and her mighty men-H1368 and they shall sleepH3462 a sleep,H8142 perpetualH5769 and notH3808 awake,H6974 saysH5002 the King,H4428 YahwehH3068 of hostsH6635 Whose name [is].H8034

58: ThusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts-H6635 wallsH2346 of BabylonH0894 the broadH7342 utterlyH6209 shall be broken,H6209 and her gatesH8179 highH1364 with fire-H0784 shall be burnedH3341 and will laborH3021 the peopleH5971 inH1767 vain,H7385 and the nationsH3816 becauseH1767 of the fire,H0784 and they shall be weary.H3286

59: The wordH1697 whichH0834 commandedH6680 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 -H0853 SeraiahH8304 sonH1121 of Neriah,H5374 the sonH1121 of Mahseiah,H4271 when he wentH1980 withH0854 ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to BabylonH0894 in yearH8141 the fourthH7243 of his reign.H4427 And Seraiah [was]H8304 prince [was]H8269 the quartermaster.H4496

60: So wroteH3789 JeremiahH3414 -H0853 allH3605 the evilH7451 thatH0834 would comeH0935 uponH0413 Babylon,H0894 inH0413 bookH5612 aH0259 -H0853 allH3605 wordsH1697 theseH0428 that are writtenH3789 againstH0413 Babylon.H0894

61: And saidH0559 JeremiahH3414 toH0413 Seraiah,H8304 when you arriveH0935 in Babylon,H0894 and see it,H7200 and readH7121 -H0853 allH3605 words-H1697 these.H0428

62: Then you shall say,H0559 Yahweh,H3068 YouH0859 have spokenH1696 againstH0413 place,H4725 thisH2088 to cut it off,H3772 so that noneH1115 shallH1961 remainH3427 neither manH0120 norH5704 beast,H0929 butH3588 desolateH8077 foreverH5769 it shall be.H1961

63: And it shall be,H1961 when you have finishedH3615 readingH7121 -H0853 book,H5612 thisH2088 [that] you shall tieH7194 to itH5921 a stoneH0068 and throw it outH7993 intoH0413 theH8432 Euphrates,H6578

64: and you shall say,H0559 thusH3602 shall sink,H8257 BabylonH0894 and notH3808 riseH6965 fromH6440 the catastropheH7451 thatH0834 IH0595 will bringH0935 upon herH5921 and they shall be weary.H3286 ThusH5704 farH2008 [are] the wordsH1697 of Jeremiah.H3414
