RF JER 50:1 The address the LORD addressed to Babel and the country of the Kasdim, by Jeremiah the Preacher;—
RF JER 50:2 The Doom of Babylon of the Kasdim.
Declare to the nations, and publish, and set up a standard!
Publish it,—hide not;—say Babel is captured, and Bel is degraded!
Merodak is frightened! Their idols degraded, their images shattered!
RF JER 50:3 For a race from the north is advancing who ravage her country!
None remain hers,—from the man to the beast, they are scattered!
RF JER 50:4 In those days,—at that time, it shall be as JEHOVAH Himself says,
Israel's children and Judah's united will march, and will weep as they march,
And will seek for their GOD EVER-LIVING,
RF JER 50:5 and ask for the highway to Zion;
Then go to the LORD'S Ancient Treaty, nor ever forget it.
RF JER 50:6 Lost sheep were My Race, whom their shepherds had lost in the mountains;
They strayed about mountains and hills, forgetting the way to their own home!—
RF JER 50:7 All who found them devoured, their oppressors declared it not wrong,
Because they offended the LORD;—their true Hope, and the Well of their fathers—Jehovah!
RF JER 50:8 Fly out from Babel,—come out from the land of the Kasdim like shepherds who go before flocks!
RF JER 50:9 For, see! I am rousing and bringing on Babel a crowd of Great Nations
From the Land of the North they march on her, from them shoot their arrows,
Their skilled Leaders will not return empty, but plunder the Kasdim,
RF JER 50:10 "All," says the LORD, "shall be full with her plunder!
RF JER 50:11 "Because you rejoiced,—when you plundered My Homestead,
Because you were fierce like an heifer at grass, and were neighing like stallions,
RF JER 50:12 Your mother shall feel her disgrace; and her deep shame she who bore you,
She will be last of the Nations, a Desert, a Ruin, and burnt Waste!
RF JER 50:13 From the wrath of the LORD be unpeopled, and wholly deserted;
All passing by desolate Babel, shall hiss at her wounding."
RF JER 50:14 All now who can shoot with the bow, arrange yourselves round about Babel;
Shoot at her,—and spare not the darts, for she has offended JEHOVAH,
RF JER 50:15 Around her, shout out "She submits and her bulwarks have fallen!"
The LORD will do justice on her, so hasten and throw down her ramparts!
Come, execute justice on her, and as she has done, give back to her now!
RF JER 50:16 Cut off the sowers from Babel, and scythemen in season of harvest;
From the face of your terrible swords let each fly like a dove to his people,—Turn, and every man fly to his country.
RF JER 50:17 Israel was like a lost flock, whom the lions had driven and scattered;
At first Ashur's king was devouring, and now in succession,
His bones they were broken by Babel's King, Nebukadnezzar;
RF JER 50:18 "Therefore," thus says the LORD OF THE HOSTS, Who is Israel's GOD,
"I will repay to Babel, its king and his land, as to Ashur I repaid!
RF JER 50:19 But bring Israel home to his pasture on Karmel and Bashan,
And to Mount Ephraim and Gilad, and then I will, satisfy his soul,—
RF JER 50:20 In those days, and those times," says the LORD, "Israel's faults shall be sought but shall be not;
Nor Judah's offences be found, because I have pardoned the sins they committed.
RF JER 50:21 Advance to the land of revolt, with punishing sword to her people,
Pursue them to waste and destroy," says the LORD, "and do all I decree."
RF JER 50:22 War sounds in the land with her mighty destruction and breaking;
RF JER 50:23 Her hammer smashes the land, and Babel becomes but a wreck to the Nations!
RF JER 50:24 BabeI! I tried for and caught you, and you did not know or suspect Me;
I found, and I also have caught, for you strove with JEHOVAH!
RF JER 50:25 The LORD'S storehouse was opened, He brought out his weapons of anger,
For the GREAT LORD OF HOSTS has a work in the land of the Kasdim!
RF JER 50:26 Come to her from far, break her stones, cast them out like a corn heap!
Dissipate all that she has, and let not a fragment be left her!
RF JER 50:27 Destroy all the bullocks she has, driving them down to the slaughter;—
Woe! for them! for their day has now come, the time of their anguish!
RF JER 50:28 Cry out, "Fly and escape from the country of Babel!"
Tell to Zion, "The LORD our GOD is avenging, avenging His Temple!"
RF JER 50:29 Summon legions to Babel, all archers and bowmen to camp round against her,
Let none escape from her! Repay her her work,—all she did, do to her!
For she insulted the Lord,—the Most Holy of Israel!"
RF JER 50:30 And therefore her youths," says the LORD, "shall fall down on her squares, "And her warriors faint on that day.
RF JER 50:31 I am opposed to your pride," says the GREAT LORD of Armies;
"For your day has arrived, and the time I chastise you.
RF JER 50:32 When your pride shall totter and fall, and without restoration,
When I kindle your towns and consume all around them!"
RF JER 50:33 Israel's Redeemer.
Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS "The children of Israel and the children of Judah are both alike oppressed, and all who capture, hold them;—they refuse to liberate.
RF JER 50:34 The name of their Redeemer is the Mighty LORD OF HOSTS. He will plead their cause, to bring rest to the land; but will agitate Babel.
RF JER 50:35 A sword is over the Kasdim, says the LORD, and against the inhabitants of Babel, and against her Nobles and Philosophers
RF JER 50:36 A sword is against her powerful, who will act foolishly. A sword is against her heroes, and they shall be cowards.
RF JER 50:37 A sword is against her horses and chariots, and against all the mercenaries within her, and they shall become like women. A sword is against her treasuries, and they shall be plundered.
RF JER 50:38 A drought is against her rivers, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of Idols, and they are mad for Images!
RF JER 50:39 "Therefore the howling beasts of the desert shall dwell there,—and the young of the ostrich, for it shall not be repeopled for ever, and not inhabited for ages of ages!
RF JER 50:40 As GOD overwhelmed Sodom and Gomorah, and their neighbors," says the EVER-LIVING, "no man shall dwell there, and no son of Adam lodge in her!
RF JER 50:41 Look A People comes from the North! and a great Nation; and many kings raise themselves from the sides of the earth!
RF JER 50:42 They seize the bow and quiver—they are fierce and pity not, with a voice like the roaring sea. They ride on disciplined horses like soldiers, to assail you, daughters of Babel.
RF JER 50:43 The king of Babel will hear the report, and his hands fail, and anguish seize him like a childing woman.
RF JER 50:44 See him advance like a lion from the flooding of the Jordan to the permanent pasture;—"I will assail from their rear! What hero can defend them? For who is equal to me? And who expects me, and what shepherd can stand before me?"
RF JER 50:45 Therefore hear the purpose of the EVER-LIVING, which He intends against Babel, and the plans He has planned against the land of the Kasdim,—if they do not draw in the young of the flock, if they do not withdraw themselves from the meadow,—
RF JER 50:46 the earth shall shake at the sound of the crash of Babel, and the Nations will hear her shriek!
