Jeremiah 51 
1
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against
them that dwell in Leb-kamai, a destroying wind.
2
And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall winnow her and they
shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
3
Against [him that] bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against [him
that] lifteth himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men destroy ye
utterly all her host.
4
And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust
through in her streets.
5
For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Jehovah of hosts
though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
6
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life be not cut
off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Jehovah's vengeance he will render unto her a
recompense.
7
Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth
drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine therefore the nations are mad.
8
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her take balm for her
pain, if so be she may be healed.
9
We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let
us go every one into his own country for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up
even to the skies.
10
Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in
Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
11
Make sharp the arrows hold firm the shields: Jehovah hath stirred up the
spirit of the kings of the Medes because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for
it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
12
Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong,
set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes for Jehovah hath both purposed and done that which he
spake concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
13
O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end
is come, the measure of thy covetousness.
14
Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, [saying], Surely I will fill thee
with men, as with the canker-worm and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
15
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his
wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens:
16
when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth he maketh lightnings for the
rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
17
Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge every goldsmith is
put to shame by his image for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18
They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they
shall perish.
19
The portion of Jacob is not like these for he is the former of all things
and [Israel] is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
20
Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in
pieces the nations and with thee will I destroy kingdoms
21
and with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider
22
and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and him that rideth
therein and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman and with thee will I break in
pieces the old man and the youth and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the
virgin
23
and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock and with
thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke [of oxen] and with thee will I break
in pieces governors and deputies.
24
And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all
their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith Jehovah.
25
Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith Jehovah, which
destroyest all the earth and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from
the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
26
And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for
foundations but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah.
27
Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations,
prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni,
and Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her cause the horses to come up as the rough
canker-worm.
28
Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, the governors
thereof, and all the deputies thereof, and all the land of their dominion.
29
And the land trembleth and is in pain for the purposes of Jehovah against
Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
30
The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their
strongholds their might hath failed they are become as women: her dwelling-places are set on
fire her bars are broken.
31
One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to met another, to
show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter:
32
and the passages are seized, and the reeds they have burned with fire,
and the men of war are affrighted.
33
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of
Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden yet a little while, and the
time of harvest shall come for her.
34
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me,
he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath, like a monster, swallowed me up, he hath filled
his maw with my delicacies he hath cast me out.
35
The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the
inhabitant of Zion say and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem
say.
36
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take
vengeance for thee and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
37
And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for jackals, an
astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38
They shall roar together like young lions they shall growl as lions'
whelps.
39
When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them
drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.
40
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with
he-goats.
41
How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized! how is
Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
42
The sea is come up upon Babylon she is covered with the multitude of the
waves thereof.
43
Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land
wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
44
And I will execute judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth
out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up and the nations shall not flow any more
unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
45
My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man
from the fierce anger of Jehovah.
46
And let not your heart faint, neither fear ye for the tidings that shall
be heard in the land for tidings shall come one year, and after that in another year [shall
come] tidings, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47
Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment upon the
graven images of Babylon and her whole land shall be confounded and all her slain shall fall
in the midst of her.
48
Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for
joy over Babylon for the destroyers shall come unto her from the north, saith Jehovah.
49
As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall
fall the slain of all the land.
50
Ye that have escaped the sword, go ye, stand not still remember Jehovah
from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51
We are confounded, because we have heard reproach confusion hath covered
our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah's house.
52
Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will execute
judgment upon her graven images and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
53
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify
the height of her strength, yet from me shall destroyers come unto her, saith Jehovah.
54
The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land
of the Chaldeans!
55
For Jehovah layeth Babylon waste, and destroyeth out of her the great
voice and their waves roar like many waters the noise of their voice is uttered:
56
for the destroyer is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men
are taken, their bows are broken in pieces for Jehovah is a God of recompenses, he will
surely requite.
57
And I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her
deputies, and her mighty men and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the
King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
58
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly
overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire and the peoples shall labor for
vanity, and the nations for the fire and they shall be weary.
59
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah,
the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth
year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
60
And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon,
even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
61
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, then see that
thou read all these words,
62
and say, O Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it
off, that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for
ever.
63
And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that
thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates:
64
and thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again
because of the evil that I will bring upon her and they shall be weary. Thus far are the
words of Jeremiah.
