Jeremiah 50:9-15 For lo! I, am rousing and bringing up against Babylon, a gathered host of great nations, out of the land of the North, And they shall array themselves against her, From thence, shall she be captured,––His arrows, are as of a hero making childless, None shall return, empty.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ For lo! I, am rousing and bringing up against Babylon, a gathered host of great nations, out of the land of the North, And they shall array themselves against her, From thence, shall she be captured,––His arrows, are as of a hero making childless, None shall return, empty. ¹⁰ So shall the Chaldeans become a spoil,––All her spoilers, shall be satisfied, Declareth Yahweh; ¹¹ Because they used to be glad, Because they used to be uproarious, When plundering mine inheritance,––Because they used to caper about as a heifer at grass, And bellow like bulls. ¹² Your mother, hath turned very pale, She that bare you, hath turned red,––Lo! the last of nations, is––A desert, A parched land, and, A waste plain. ¹³ Because of the vexation of Yahweh, she shall not be inhabited, But shall become a complete, desolation,––Every one passing by Babylon, shall be astonished and hiss, over all her plagues. ¹⁴ Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, All ye who tread the bow, Shoot at her, do not spare so much as an arrow,––For, against Yahweh, hath she sinned. ¹⁵ Raise a shout against her round about, She hath stretched forth her hand, Fallen, are her buttresses, Torn down, are her walls,––Because, the avenging of Yahweh, it is, Take ye vengeance upon her, As she hath done, do ye, unto her.
