How is the hammer
H776
of the whole earth
H1438 [H8738]
cut asunder
H7665 [H8735]
and broken!
H894
how is Babylon
H8047
become a desolation
H1471
among the nations!
24
H3369 [H8804]
I have laid a snare
H3920 [H8738]
for thee, and thou art also taken,
H894
O Babylon,
H3045 [H8804]
and thou wast not aware:
H4672 [H8738]
thou art found,
H8610 [H8738]
and also caught,
H1624 [H8694]
because thou hast striven
H3068
against the LORD.
25
H3068
The LORD
H6605 [H8804]
hath opened
H214
his armoury,
H3318 [H8686]
and hath brought forth
H3627
the weapons
H2195
of his frothing at the mouth:
H4399
for this is the work
H136
of the Sovereign
H3069
LORD
H6635
of hosts
H776
in the land
H3778
of the Chaldeans.
26
H935 [H8798]
Come
H7093
against her from the utmost border,
H6605 [H8798]
open
H3965
her storehouses:
H5549 [H8798]
cast her up
H6194
as heaps,
H2763 [H8685]
and seclude her utterly:
H7611
let nothing of her be left.
27
H2717 [H8798]
Slay
H6499
all her bulls;
H3381 [H8799]
let them go down
H2874
to the slaughter:
H1945
woe
H3117
to them! for their day
H935 [H8802]
is come,
H6256
the time
H6486
of their punishment.
28
H6963
The voice
H5127 [H8801]
of them that flee
H6405
and escape from
H776
the land
H894
of Babylon,
H5046 [H8687]
to declare
H6726
in Zion
H5360
the vengeance
H3068
of the LORD
H430
our God,
H5360
the vengeance
H1964
of his temple.
29
H8085 [H8685]
Call together
H7228
the archers
H894
against Babylon:
H1869 [H8802]
all ye that bend
H7198
the bow,
H2583 [H8798]
encamp
H5439
against it on every side;
H6413
let none of them escape:
H7999 [H8761]
recompense
H6467
her according to her work;
H6213 [H8804]
according to all that she hath done,
H6213 [H8798]
do
H2102 [H8804]
to her: for she hath been proud
H3068
against the LORD,
H6918
against the Holy One
H3478
of Israel.
30
H970
Therefore her young men
H5307 [H8799]
shall fall
H7339
in the streets,
H582
and all her men
H4421
of war
H1826 [H8735]
shall be cut off
H3117
in that day,
H5002 [H8803]
saith
H3068
the LORD.
31
H2087
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud,
H5002 [H8803]
saith
H136
the Sovereign
H3069
LORD
H6635
of hosts:
H3117
for thy day
H935 [H8802]
is come,
H6256
the time
H6485 [H8804]
that I will punish thee.
32
H2087
And the most proud
H3782 [H8804]
shall stumble
H5307 [H8804]
and fall,
H6965 [H8688]
and none shall raise him up:
H3341 [H8689]
and I will kindle
H784
a fire
H5892
in his cities,
H398 [H8804]
and it shall devour
H5439
all around him.
33
H559 [H8804]
Thus saith
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts;
H1121
The sons
H3478
of Israel
H1121
and the sons
H3063
of Judah
H6231 [H8803]
were oppressed
H3162
together:
H7617 [H8802]
and all that took them captives
H2388 [H8689]
held them fast;
H3985 [H8765]
they refused
H7971 [H8763]
to let them go.
34
H1350 [H8802]
Their Redeemer
H2389
is strong;
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts
H8034
is his name:
H7378 [H8800]
he shall thoroughly
H7378 [H8799]
plead
H7379
their cause,
H7280 [H8689]
that he may give rest
H776
to the land,
H7264 [H8689]
and disquiet
H3427 [H8802]
the inhabitants
H894
of Babylon.
35
H2719
A sword
H3778
is upon the Chaldeans,
H5002 [H8803]
saith
H3068
the LORD,
H3427 [H8802]
and upon the inhabitants
H894
of Babylon,
H8269
and upon her princes,
H2450
and upon her wise men.
36
H2719
A sword
H907
is upon the liars;
H2973 [H8738]
and they shall become fools:
H2719
a sword
H1368
is upon her mighty men;
H2865 [H8804]
and they shall be dismayed.
37
H2719
A sword
H5483
is upon their horses,
H7393
and upon their chariots,
H6153
and upon all the mixed people
H8432
that are in the midst
H802
of her; and they shall become as women:
H2719
a sword
H214
is upon her treasuries;
H962 [H8795]
and they shall be robbed.
38
H2721
A drought
H4325
is upon her waters;
H3001 [H8804]
and they shall be dried up:
H776
for it is the land
H6456
of graven images,
H1984 [H8704]
and they are mad
H367
over their idols.
39
H6728
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert
H338
with the wild beasts of the isles
H3427 [H8799]
shall dwell
H1323 H3284
there, and the owls
H3427 [H8804]
shall dwell
H3427 [H8799]
in it: and it shall be no more inhabited
H5331
for ever;
H7931 [H8799]
neither shall it be dwelt
H1755
in from generation
H1755
to generation.
40
H430
As God
H4114
overthrew
H5467
Sodom
H6017
and Gomorrah
H7934
and its neighbour
H5002 [H8803]
cities, saith
H3068
the LORD;
H376
so shall no man
H3427 [H8799]
abide
H1121
there, neither shall any son
H120
of man
H1481 [H8799]
dwell in it.
41
H5971
Behold, a people
H935 [H8802]
shall come
H6828
from the north,
H1419
and a great
H1471
nation,
H7227
and many
H4428
kings
H5782 [H8735]
shall be raised up
H3411
from the ends
H776
of the earth.
42
H2388 [H8686]
They shall hold
H7198
the bow
H3591
and the lance:
H394
they are cruel,
H7355 [H8762]
and will not fondle:
H6963
their voice
H1993 [H8799]
shall roar
H3220
like the sea,
H7392 [H8799]
and they shall ride
H5483
upon horses,
H6186 [H8803]
every one put in array,
H376
like a man
H4421
to the battle,
H1323
against thee, O daughter
H894
of Babylon.
43
H4428
The king
H894
of Babylon
H8085 [H8804]
hath heard
H8088
the report
H3027
of them, and his hands
H7503 [H8804]
became feeble:
H6869
tightness
H2388 [H8689]
took hold
H2427
of him, and pangs
H3205 [H8802]
as of a woman in travail.
44
H5927 [H8799]
Behold, he shall come up
H738
like a lion
H1347
from the swelling
H3383
of Jordan
H5116
to the habitation
H386
of the strong:
H7323 0
but I will make
H7280 [H8686]
them suddenly
H7323 H7323 [H8686]
run away
H977 [H8803]
from her: and who is a chosen
H6485 [H8799]
man, that I may appoint
H3259 [H8686]
over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time?
H7462 [H8802]
and who is that shepherd
H5975 [H8799]
that will stand
H6440
at the face of me?
45
H8085 [H8798]
Therefore hear
H6098
ye the counsel
H3068
of the LORD,
H3289 [H8804]
that he hath taken
H894
against Babylon;
H4284
and his purposes,
H2803 [H8804]
that he hath purposed
H776
against the land
H3778
of the Chaldeans:
H6810
Surely the least
H6629
of the flock
H5498 [H8799]
shall draw them out:
H5116
surely he shall make their habitation
H8074 [H8686]
desolate with them.
