Jeremiah 50

1, 9, 21, 35 The judgment of Babylon. 4, 17, 33 The redemption of Israel.

 50:1 ¶ The word 1697 that x834 the LORD 3068 spake 1696 z8765 against x413 Babylon 894 [and] against x413 the land 776 of the Chaldeans 3778 by 3027 Jeremiah 3414 the prophet. 5030

 50:2 Declare 5046 z8685 ye among the nations, 1471 and publish, 8085 z8685 and set up 5375 z8798 a standard; 5251 publish, 8085 z8685 [and] conceal 3582 z8762 not: x408 say, 559 z8798 Babylon 894 is taken, 3920 z8738 Bel 1078 is confounded, 3001 z8689 Merodach 4781 is broken in pieces; y2865 z8804 x2844 her idols 6091 are confounded, 3001 z8689 her images 1544 are broken in pieces. 2865 z8804

 50:3 For x3588 out of the north 6828 x4480 there cometh up 5927 z8804 a nation 1471 against x5921 her, which x1931 shall make 7896 z8799 x853 her land 776 desolate, 8047 and none x3808 shall x1961 dwell 3427 z8802 therein: they shall remove, 5110 z8804 they shall depart, 1980 z8804 both man 120 x4480 and beast. 929

 50:4 ¶ In those x1992 days, 3117 and in that x1931 time, 6256 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 shall come, 935 z8799 they x1992 and the children 1121 of Judah 3063 together, 3162 going 1980 z8800 and weeping: 1058 z8800 they shall go, y3212 z8799 x1980 and seek 1245 z8762 the LORD 3068 their God. 430

 50:5 They shall ask 7592 z8799 the way 1870 to Zion 6726 with their faces 6440 thitherward, 2008 [saying], Come, 935 z8798 and let us join y3867 z8738 ourselves x3867 to x413 the LORD 3068 in a perpetual 5769 covenant 1285 [that] shall not x3808 be forgotten. 7911 z8735

 50:6 My people 5971 hath been x1961 lost 6 z8802 sheep: 6629 their shepherds 7462 z8802 have caused them to go astray, 8582 z8689 they have turned them away 7725 z8790 z8675 y7726 [on] the mountains: 2022 they have gone 1980 z8804 from mountain 2022 x4480 to x413 hill, 1389 they have forgotten 7911 z8804 their restingplace. 7258

 50:7 All x3605 that found 4672 z8802 them have devoured 398 z8804 them: and their adversaries 6862 said, 559 z8804 We offend 816 z8799 not, x3808 because x8478 x834 they have sinned 2398 z8804 against the LORD, 3068 the habitation 5116 of justice, 6664 even the LORD, 3068 the hope 4723 of their fathers. 1

 50:8 Remove 5110 z8798 out of the midst 8432 x4480 of Babylon, 894 and go forth 3318 z8798 z8675 z8799 out of the land 776 x4480 of the Chaldeans, 3778 and be x1961 as the he goats 6260 before 6440 the flocks. 6629

 50:9 ¶ For, x3588 lo, x2009 I x595 will raise 5782 z8688 and cause to come up 5927 z8688 against x5921 Babylon 894 an assembly 6951 of great 1419 nations 1471 from the north 6828 country: 776 x4480 and they shall set themselves in array 6186 z8804 against her; from thence x4480 x8033 she shall be taken: 3920 z8735 their arrows 2671 [shall be] as of a mighty 1368 expert x7919 man; z8688 y7919 z8676 y7921 none x3808 shall return 7725 z8799 in vain. 7387

 50:10 And Chaldea 3778 shall be x1961 a spoil: y7998 x7997 all x3605 that spoil y7997 z8802 x7998 her shall be satisfied, 7646 z8799 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 50:11 Because x3588 ye were glad, 8055 z8799 because x3588 ye rejoiced, 5937 z8799 O ye destroyers 8154 z8802 of mine heritage, 5159 because x3588 ye are grown fat 6335 z8799 as the heifer 5697 at grass, 1877 z8676 y1758 z8801 and bellow 6670 z8799 as bulls; 47

 50:12 Your mother 517 shall be sore 3966 confounded; 954 z8804 she that bare 3205 z8802 you shall be ashamed: 2659 z8804 behold, x2009 the hindermost 319 of the nations 1471 [shall be] a wilderness, 4057 a dry land, 6723 and a desert. 6160

 50:13 Because of the wrath 7110 x4480 of the LORD 3068 it shall not x3808 be inhabited, 3427 z8799 but it shall be x1961 wholly x3605 desolate: 8077 every one x3605 that goeth 5674 z8802 by x5921 Babylon 894 shall be astonished, 8074 z8799 and hiss 8319 z8799 at x5921 all x3605 her plagues. 4347

 50:14 Put yourselves in array 6186 z8798 against x5921 Babylon 894 round about: 5439 all x3605 ye that bend 1869 z8802 the bow, 7198 shoot 3034 z8798 at x413 her, spare 2550 z8799 no x408 arrows: 2671 for x3588 she hath sinned 2398 z8804 against the LORD. 3068

 50:15 Shout 7321 z8685 against x5921 her round about: 5439 she hath given 5414 z8804 her hand: 3027 her foundations 803 are fallen, 5307 z8804 her walls 2346 are thrown down: 2040 z8738 for x3588 it x1931 [is] the vengeance 5360 of the LORD: 3068 take vengeance 5358 z8734 upon her; as x834 she hath done, 6213 z8804 do 6213 z8798 unto her.

 50:16 Cut off 3772 z8798 the sower 2232 z8802 from Babylon, 894 x4480 and him that handleth 8610 z8802 the sickle 4038 in the time 6256 of harvest: 7105 for fear 6440 x4480 of the oppressing 3238 z8802 sword 2719 they shall turn 6437 z8799 every one 376 to x413 his people, 5971 and they shall flee 5127 z8799 every one 376 to his own land. 776

 50:17 ¶ Israel 3478 [is] a scattered 6340 z8801 sheep; 7716 the lions 738 have driven [him] away: 5080 z8689 first 7223 the king 4428 of Assyria 804 hath devoured 398 z8804 him; and last 314 this x2088 Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 hath broken his bones. 6105 z8765

 50:18 Therefore x3651 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 the God 430 of Israel; 3478 Behold, x2009 I will punish 6485 z8802 x413 the king 4428 of Babylon 894 and his land, 776 as x834 I have punished 6485 z8804 x413 the king 4428 of Assyria. 804

 50:19 And I will bring 7725 z0 x853 Israel 3478 again y7725 z8790 to x413 his habitation, 5116 and he shall feed 7462 z8804 on Carmel 3760 and Bashan, 1316 and his soul 5315 shall be satisfied 7646 z8799 upon mount 2022 Ephraim 669 and Gilead. 1568

 50:20 In those x1992 days, 3117 and in that x1931 time, 6256 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 x853 the iniquity 5771 of Israel 3478 shall be sought for, 1245 z8792 and [there shall be] none; x369 and the sins 2403 of Judah, 3063 and they shall not x3808 be found: 4672 z8735 for x3588 I will pardon 5545 z8799 them whom x834 I reserve. 7604 z8686

 50:21 ¶ Go up 5927 z8798 against x5921 the land 776 of Merathaim, 4850 [even] against x5921 it, and against x413 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Pekod: 6489 waste 2717 z8798 and utterly destroy 2763 z8687 after 310 them, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 and do 6213 z8798 according to all x3605 that x834 I have commanded 6680 z8765 thee.

 50:22 A sound 6963 of battle 4421 [is] in the land, 776 and of great 1419 destruction. 7667

 50:23 How x349 is the hammer 6360 of the whole x3605 earth 776 cut asunder 1438 z8738 and broken! 7665 z8735 how x349 is Babylon 894 become x1961 a desolation 8047 among the nations! 1471

 50:24 I have laid a snare 3369 z8804 for thee, and thou art also x1571 taken, 3920 z8738 O Babylon, 894 and thou x859 wast not x3808 aware: 3045 z8804 thou art found, 4672 z8738 and also x1571 caught, 8610 z8738 because x3588 thou hast striven 1624 z8694 against the LORD. 3068

 50:25 The LORD 3068 hath opened 6605 z8804 x853 his armoury, 214 and hath brought forth 3318 z8686 x853 the weapons 3627 of his indignation: 2195 for x3588 this x1931 [is] the work 4399 of the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635 in the land 776 of the Chaldeans. 3778

 50:26 Come 935 z8798 against her from the utmost border, 7093 x4480 open 6605 z8798 her storehouses: 3965 cast her up 5549 z8798 as heaps, 6194 and destroy x2763 her utterly: y2763 z8685 let nothing x408 of her be x1961 left. 7611

 50:27 Slay 2717 z8798 all x3605 her bullocks; 6499 let them go down 3381 z8799 to the slaughter: 2874 woe 1945 unto x5921 them! for x3588 their day 3117 is come, 935 z8802 the time 6256 of their visitation. 6486

 50:28 The voice 6963 of them that flee 5127 z8801 and escape x6412 out y6405 of the land 776 x4480 of Babylon, 894 to declare 5046 z8687 in Zion 6726 x853 the vengeance 5360 of the LORD 3068 our God, 430 the vengeance 5360 of his temple. 1964

 50:29 Call together 8085 z8685 the archers 7228 against x413 Babylon: 894 all x3605 ye that bend 1869 z8802 the bow, 7198 camp 2583 z8798 against x5921 it round about; 5439 let x1961 none x408 thereof escape: 6413 recompense 7999 z8761 her according to her work; 6467 according to all x3605 that x834 she hath done, 6213 z8804 do 6213 z8798 unto her: for x3588 she hath been proud 2102 z8804 against x413 the LORD, 3068 against x413 the Holy One 6918 of Israel. 3478

 50:30 Therefore x3651 shall her young men 970 fall 5307 z8799 in the streets, 7339 and all x3605 her men y582 x376 of war 4421 shall be cut off 1826 z8735 in that x1931 day, 3117 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 50:31 Behold, x2009 I [am] against x413 thee, [O thou] most proud, 2087 saith 5002 z8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts: 6635 for x3588 thy day 3117 is come, 935 z8802 the time 6256 [that] I will visit 6485 z8804 thee.

 50:32 And the most proud 2087 shall stumble 3782 z8804 and fall, 5307 z8804 and none x369 shall raise him up: 6965 z8688 and I will kindle 3341 z8689 a fire 784 in his cities, 5892 and it shall devour 398 z8804 all x3605 round about 5439 him.

 50:33 ¶ Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts; 6635 The children 1121 of Israel 3478 and the children 1121 of Judah 3063 [were] oppressed 6231 z8803 together: 3162 and all x3605 that took them captives 7617 z8802 held them fast; 2388 z8689 they refused 3985 z8765 to let them go. 7971 z8763

 50:34 Their Redeemer 1350 z8802 [is] strong; 2389 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 [is] his name: 8034 he shall throughly y7378 z8800 plead 7378 z8799 x853 their cause, 7379 that x4616 he may give rest 7280 z8689 x853 to the land, 776 and disquiet 7264 z8689 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Babylon. 894

 50:35 ¶ A sword 2719 [is] upon x5921 the Chaldeans, 3778 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 and upon x413 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Babylon, 894 and upon x413 her princes, 8269 and upon x413 her wise 2450 [men].

 50:36 A sword 2719 [is] upon x413 the liars; 907 and they shall dote: 2973 z8738 a sword 2719 [is] upon x413 her mighty men; 1368 and they shall be dismayed. 2865 z8804

 50:37 A sword 2719 [is] upon x413 their horses, 5483 and upon x413 their chariots, 7393 and upon x413 all x3605 the mingled people y6153 x6154 that x834 [are] in the midst 8432 of her; and they shall become x1961 as women: 802 a sword 2719 [is] upon x413 her treasures; 214 and they shall be robbed. 962 z8795

 50:38 A drought 2721 [is] upon x413 her waters; 4325 and they shall be dried up: 3001 z8804 for x3588 it [is] the land 776 of graven images, 6456 and they x1931 are mad 1984 z8704 upon [their] idols. 367

 50:39 Therefore x3651 the wild beasts of the desert 6728 with x854 the wild beasts of the islands 338 shall dwell 3427 z8799 [there], and the owls 1323 3284 shall dwell 3427 z8804 therein: and it shall be no x3808 more x5750 inhabited 3427 z8799 for ever; 5331 neither x3808 shall it be dwelt y7931 z8799 in x7931 from x5704 generation 1755 to generation. 1755

 50:40 As God 430 overthrew 4114 x853 Sodom 5467 and Gomorrah 6017 and the neighbour 7934 [cities] thereof, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD; 3068 [so] shall no x3808 man 376 abide 3427 z8799 there, x8033 neither x3808 shall any son 1121 of man 120 dwell 1481 z8799 therein.

 50:41 Behold, x2009 a people 5971 shall come 935 z8802 from the north, 6828 x4480 and a great 1419 nation, 1471 and many 7227 kings 4428 shall be raised up 5782 z8735 from the coasts 3411 x4480 of the earth. 776

 50:42 They shall hold 2388 z8686 the bow 7198 and the lance: 3591 they x1992 [are] cruel, 394 and will not x3808 shew mercy: 7355 z8762 their voice 6963 shall roar 1993 z8799 like the sea, 3220 and they shall ride 7392 z8799 upon x5921 horses, 5483 [every one] put in array, 6186 z8803 like a man 376 to the battle, 4421 against x5921 thee, O daughter 1323 of Babylon. 894

 50:43 The king 4428 of Babylon 894 hath heard 8085 z8804 x853 the report 8088 of them, and his hands 3027 waxed feeble: 7503 z8804 anguish 6869 took hold 2388 z8689 of him, [and] pangs 2427 as of a woman in travail. 3205 z8802

 50:44 Behold, x2009 he shall come up 5927 z8799 like a lion 738 from the swelling 1347 x4480 of Jordan 3383 unto x413 the habitation 5116 of the strong: 386 but x3588 I will make y7323 z0 them suddenly 7280 z8686 run away 7323 z8686 z8675 z8799 from x4480 x5921 her: and who x4310 [is] a chosen 977 z8803 [man, that] I may appoint 6485 z8799 over x413 her? for x3588 who x4310 [is] like me? x3644 and who x4310 will appoint me the time? 3259 z8686 and who x4310 [is] that x2088 shepherd 7462 z8802 that x834 will stand 5975 z8799 before 6440 me?

 50:45 Therefore x3651 hear 8085 z8798 ye the counsel 6098 of the LORD, 3068 that x834 he hath taken 3289 z8804 against x413 Babylon; 894 and his purposes, 4284 that x834 he hath purposed 2803 z8804 against x413 the land 776 of the Chaldeans: 3778 Surely x518 x3808 the least 6810 of the flock 6629 shall draw them out: 5498 z8799 surely x518 x3808 he shall make [their] habitation 5116 desolate 8074 z8686 with x5921 them.

 50:46 At the noise 6963 x4480 of the taking 8610 z8738 of Babylon 894 the earth 776 is moved, 7493 z8735 and the cry 2201 is heard 8085 z8738 among the nations. 1471
