Jeremiah, Chapter 51

¹ Thus says the LORD: “Behold, I am going to arouse against Babylon And against the inhabitants of^aLeb-kamai ^b Or a destroying windThe spirit of a destroyer. ² “I will dispatch^c Some versions read winnowersforeigners to Babylon that they may winnow her And may devastate her land; For on every side they will be opposed to her In the day of her calamity. ³ “^d M.T. reads Against him whoLet not^e I.e. the Chaldean defenderhim who^f Lit tread(s) (in order to string)bends his bow^g Lit tread(s) (in order to string)bend it, ^h M.T. reads Against him whoNor let him rise up in his scale-armor; So do not spare her young men; Devote all her army to destruction. ⁴ “They will fall downⁱ Or woundedslain in the land of the Chaldeans, And pierced through in their streets.” ⁵ For neither Israel nor Judah has been^j Lit widowedforsaken By his God, the LORD of hosts, Although their land is full of guilt ^k Lit FromBefore the Holy One of Israel. ⁶ Flee from the midst of Babylon, And each of you save his life! Do not be^l Or silenced or made lifelessdestroyed in her^m Or penalty for iniquitypunishment, For this is the LORD’S time of vengeance; He is going to render recompense to her. ⁷ Babylon has been a golden cup in the hand of the LORD, Intoxicating all the earth. The nations have drunk of her wine; Therefore the nations are going mad. ⁸ Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken; Wail over her! Bringⁿ Or balsam resinbalm for her pain; Perhaps she may be healed. ⁹ We applied healing to Babylon, but she was not healed; Forsake her and let us each go to his own country, For her judgment has reached to heaven And^o Lit is liftedtowers up to the very skies. ¹⁰ The LORD has brought^p Lit forthabout our vindication; Come and let us recount in Zion The work of the LORD our God! ¹¹ Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers! The LORD has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, Because His purpose is against Babylon to destroy it; For it is the vengeance of the LORD, vengeance for His temple. ¹² Lift up a^q Or standardsignal against the walls of Babylon; Post a strong guard, Station^r Or watchmensentries, Place men in ambush! For the LORD has both purposed and performed What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. ¹³ O you who dwell by many waters, Abundant in treasures, Your end has come, The^s Lit cubitmeasure of your^t Lit being cut offend. ¹⁴ The LORD of hosts has sworn by Himself: “Surely I will fill you with a^u Or mankindpopulation like locusts, And they will cry out with^v I.e. like the song of grape treadersshouts of victory over you.” ¹⁵ It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom, And by His understanding He stretched out the heavens. ¹⁶ When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, And He causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain And brings forth the wind from His storehouses. ¹⁷ All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his^w Or graven imagesidols, For his molten images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them. ¹⁸ They are worthless, a work of mockery; In the time of their punishment they will perish. ¹⁹ The portion of Jacob is not like these; For the^x Lit FashionerMaker of all is He, And of the^y Or Scepter; cf Num 24:17tribe of His inheritance; The LORD of hosts is His name. ²⁰ He says, “You are My^z Lit shattererwar-club, My weapon of war; And with you I shatter nations, And with you I destroy kingdoms. ²¹ “With you I shatter the horse and his rider, And with you I shatter the chariot and its rider, ²² And with you I shatter man and woman, And with you I shatter old man and youth, And with you I shatter young man and virgin, ²³ And with you I shatter the shepherd and his flock, And with you I shatter the farmer and his team, And with you I shatter governors and prefects.	1 Jer 4:11 Jer 4:12 Jer 23:19 Hos 13:15 2 Isa 41:16 Jer 15:7 Mat 3:12 3 Jer 50:14 Jer 50:29 Jer 46:4 4 Isa 13:15 Isa 14:19 Jer 49:26 Jer 50:30 Jer 50:37 5 Isa 54:7 Isa 54:8 Jer 33:24-26 Hos 4:1 Hos 4:2 6 Jer 50:8 Jer 50:28 Rev 18:4 Num 16:26 Jer 50:15 Jer 25:14 7 Jer 25:15 Hab 2:16 Rev 14:8 Rev 17:4 Rev 14:8 Rev 18:3 Jer 25:16 8 Isa 21:9 Jer 50:2 Rev 14:8 Rev 18:2 Isa 13:6 Rev 18:9 Jer 46:11 9 Isa 13:14 Jer 46:16 Jer 50:16 Ezr 9:6 Rev 18:5 10 Psa 37:6 Mic 7:9 Isa 40:2 Jer 50:28 11 Jer 46:4 Jer 46:9 Joe 3:9 Joe 3:10 Jer 50:28 12 Isa 13:2 Jer 50:2 Jer 51:27 Jer 4:28 Jer 23:20 Jer 51:29 13 Rev 17:1 Isa 45:3 Isa 57:17 Hab 2:9-11 14 Jer 49:13 Jer 51:27 Nah 3:15 15 Gen 1:1 Jer 10:12-16 Jer 51:15-19 Job 9:8 Psa 146:5 Psa 146:6 Jer 32:17 Act 14:15 Rom 1:20 16 Job 37:2-6 Psa 18:13 Psa 135:7 Jer 10:13 Jon 1:4 17 Isa 44:18-20 Jer 10:14 Hab 2:18 Hab 2:19 18 Jer 18:15 19 Psa 73:26 Jer 10:16 Jer 50:34 20 Isa 10:5 Isa 41:15 Isa 41:16 Jer 50:23 Isa 8:9 Isa 41:15 Isa 41:16 Mic 4:12 Mic 4:13 21 Exo 15:1 Exo 15:4 Isa 43:17 22 Ch2 36:17 Isa 13:15 Isa 13:16 Isa 13:18
²⁴ “But I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes,” declares the LORD. ²⁵ “Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, Who destroys the whole earth,” declares the LORD, “And I will stretch out My hand against you, And roll you down from the crags, And I will make you a burnt out mountain. ²⁶ “They will not take from you even a stone for a corner Nor a stone for foundations, But you will be desolate forever,” declares the LORD. ²⁷ Lift up a^aa Or standardsignal in the land, Blow a trumpet among the nations! Consecrate the nations against her, Summon against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz; Appoint a marshal against her, Bring up the horses like bristly locusts. ²⁸ Consecrate the nations against her, The kings of the Medes, ^ab Lit HerTheir governors and all^ac Lit Hertheir^ad I.e. lieutenant governorsprefects, And every land of^ae Lit histheir dominion. ²⁹ So the land quakes and writhes, For the purposes of the LORD against Babylon stand, To make the land of Babylon ^af Or An object of horrorA desolation without inhabitants. ³⁰ The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting, They stay in the strongholds; Their strength is^ag Lit dried upexhausted, They are becoming like women; Their dwelling places are set on fire, The bars of her gates are broken. ³¹ One^ah Lit runnercourier runs to meet^ai Lit runneranother, And one^aj Lit announcermessenger to meet^ak Lit announceranother, To tell the king of Babylon That his city has been captured from end to end; ³² The fords also have been seized, And they have burned the marshes with fire, And the men of war are terrified.	24 Jer 50:10 Jer 50:15 Jer 50:29 25 Jer 50:31 Isa 13:2 Zec 4:7 Rev 8:8 26 Isa 13:19-22 Jer 50:13 Jer 51:29 27 Isa 13:2-5 Isa 18:3 Jer 50:2 Jer 51:12 Jer 50:3 Jer 50:9 Gen 8:4 Ki2 19:37 Isa 37:38 Gen 10:3 Jer 50:42 29 Jer 8:16 Jer 10:10 Jer 50:46 Amo 8:8 Isa 13:19 Isa 13:20 Isa 47:11 Jer 50:13 Jer 51:26 Jer 51:43 30 Psa 76:5 Jer 50:15 Jer 50:36 Jer 50:37 Isa 13:7 Isa 13:8 Nah 3:13 Isa 13:7 Isa 13:8 Nah 3:13 Isa 45:1 Isa 45:2 Lam 2:9 Amo 1:5 Nah 3:13 31 Ch2 30:6 Sa2 18:19-31
³³ For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor At the time^al Lit of treading itit is stamped firm; Yet in a little while the time of harvest will come for her.” ³⁴ “Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me and crushed me, He has set me down like an empty vessel; He has swallowed me like a monster, He has filled his stomach with my delicacies; He has washed me away. ³⁵ “May the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” The^am Lit inhabitressinhabitant of Zion will say; And, “May my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” Jerusalem will say.	33 Isa 21:10 Isa 41:15 Isa 41:16 Mic 4:13 Isa 17:5 Hos 6:11 Joe 3:13 Rev 14:15 34 Jer 50:17 Isa 24:1-3 Job 20:15 Jer 51:44 35 Psa 137:8
³⁶ Therefore thus says the LORD, “Behold, I am going to plead your case And exact full vengeance for you; And I will dry up her^an Or broad riversea And make her fountain dry. ³⁷ “Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals, An object of horror and hissing, without inhabitants. ³⁸ “They will roar together like young lions, They will growl like lions’ cubs. ³⁹ “When they become heated up, I will serve them their banquet And make them drunk, that they may become jubilant And may sleep a perpetual sleep And not wake up,” declares the LORD. ⁴⁰ “I will bring them down like^ao Or young ramslambs to the slaughter, Like rams together with male goats. ⁴¹ “How^ap Cryptic name for BabylonSheshak has been captured, And the praise of the whole earth been seized! How Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations! ⁴² “The^aq Or broad riversea has come up over Babylon; She has been engulfed with its tumultuous waves. ⁴³ “Her cities have become an object of horror, A parched land and a desert, A land in which no man lives And through which no son of man passes. ⁴⁴ “I will punish Bel in Babylon, And I will make what he has swallowed come out of his mouth; And the nations will no longer stream to him. Even the wall of Babylon has fallen down! ⁴⁵ “Come forth from her midst, My people, And each of you save yourselves From the fierce anger of the LORD. ⁴⁶ “Now so that your heart does not grow faint, And you are not afraid at the report that will be heard in the land— For the report will come^ar Lit in theone year, And after that^as Lit theanother report in^at Lit theanother year, And violence will be in the land With ruler against ruler— ⁴⁷ Therefore behold, days are coming When I will punish the idols of Babylon; And her whole land will be put to shame And all her slain will fall in her midst. ⁴⁸ “Then heaven and earth and all that is in them Will shout for joy over Babylon, For the destroyers will come to her from the north,” Declares the LORD. ⁴⁹ Indeed Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel, As also for Babylon the slain of all the earth have fallen. ⁵⁰ You who have escaped the sword, Depart! Do not stay! Remember the LORD from afar, And let Jerusalem^au Lit come upon your heartcome to your mind. ⁵¹ We are ashamed because we have heard reproach; Disgrace has covered our faces, For aliens have entered The holy places of the LORD’S house. ⁵² “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “When I will punish her idols, And the mortally wounded will groan throughout her land. ⁵³ “Though Babylon should ascend to the heavens, And though she should fortify^av Lit the height of her strengthher lofty stronghold, From Me destroyers will come to her,” declares the LORD. ⁵⁴ The sound of an outcry from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans! ⁵⁵ For the LORD is going to destroy Babylon, And He will make her loud^aw Or voicenoise vanish from her. And their waves will roar like many waters; The tumult of their voices^ax Lit is givensounds forth. ⁵⁶ For the destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon, And her mighty men will be captured, Their bows are shattered; For the LORD is a God of recompense, He will fully repay. ⁵⁷ “I will make her princes and her wise men drunk, Her governors, her prefects and her mighty men, That they may sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake up,” Declares the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.	36 Psa 140:12 Jer 51:6 Jer 51:11 Rom 12:19 Jer 50:38 37 Rev 18:2 Jer 25:9 38 Jer 2:15 39 Jer 25:27 Jer 48:26 Jer 51:57 Psa 76:5 40 Jer 48:15 Jer 50:27 41 Jer 25:26 Jer 49:25 42 Isa 8:7 Isa 8:8 Jer 51:55 Dan 9:26 43 Jer 50:12 Isa 13:20 Jer 2:6 44 Isa 46:1 Jer 50:2 Ezr 1:7 Ezr 1:8 Isa 2:2 Jer 50:15 Jer 51:58 45 Isa 48:20 Jer 50:8 Jer 50:28 Jer 51:6 Rev 18:4 Gen 19:12-16 Act 2:40 46 Isa 43:5 Jer 46:27 Jer 46:28 Ki2 19:7 Isa 13:3-5 Isa 19:2 47 Isa 21:9 Isa 46:1 Isa 46:2 Jer 50:2 Jer 51:52 Jer 50:12 Jer 50:35-37 48 Isa 44:23 Isa 48:20 Isa 49:13 Rev 18:20 Jer 50:3 49 Psa 137:8 Jer 50:29 Rev 18:24 50 Jer 44:28 Deu 4:29-31 Psa 137:6 51 Psa 44:15 Psa 74:3-8 Lam 1:10 52 Jer 50:38 53 Gen 11:4 Job 20:6 Psa 139:8-10 Isa 14:12-14 Jer 49:16 Amo 9:2 (Oba 4)Isa 13:3 54 Jer 48:3-5 Jer 50:22 Jer 50:46 55 Psa 18:4 Psa 69:2 Psa 124:2 Psa 124:4 Psa 124:5 Jer 51:42 56 Jer 51:48 Jer 51:53 Hab 2:8 Psa 46:9 Psa 76:3 Deu 32:35 Psa 94:1 Psa 94:2 Jer 51:6 Jer 51:24 57 Jer 25:27 Psa 76:5 Psa 76:6 Jer 46:18 Jer 48:15
⁵⁸ Thus says the LORD of hosts, “The broad wall of Babylon will be completely razed And her high gates will be set on fire; So the peoples will toil for nothing, And the nations become exhausted only for fire.”	58 Jer 50:15 Isa 45:1 Isa 45:2 Hab 2:13 Jer 9:5 Jer 51:64 Lam 5:5
⁵⁹ The^ay Lit wordmessage which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the grandson of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. (Now Seraiah was quartermaster.) ⁶⁰ So Jeremiah wrote in a single^az Or bookscroll all the calamity which would come upon Babylon, that is, all these words which have been written concerning Babylon. ⁶¹ Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “As soon as you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words aloud, ⁶² and say, ‘You, O LORD, have^ba Lit spokenpromised concerning this place to cut it off, so that there will be nothing dwelling in it,^bb Lit from man even to beastwhether man or beast, but it will be a perpetual desolation.’ ⁶³ And as soon as you finish reading this^bc Or bookscroll, you will tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates, ⁶⁴ and say, ‘Just so shall Babylon sink down and not rise again because of the calamity that I am going to bring upon her; and they will become exhausted.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.	59 Jer 32:12 Jer 36:4 Jer 45:1 Jer 28:1 Jer 52:1 60 Isa 30:8 Jer 30:2 Jer 30:3 Jer 36:2 Jer 36:4 Jer 36:32 62 Isa 13:19-22 Isa 14:22 Isa 14:23 Jer 50:3 Jer 50:13 Jer 50:39 Jer 50:40 Jer 51:43 Eze 35:9 63 Jer 19:10 Jer 19:11 Rev 18:21 64 Nah 1:8 Nah 1:9 Jer 51:58 Job 31:40 Psa 72:20
