For out of the north H6828 there comes H5927 up a nation H1471 against H5921 her, which H1931 shall make H7896 her land H776 desolate, H8047 and none H3808 shall dwell H3427 therein: they shall remove, H5110 they shall depart, H1980 both man H120 and beast. H929

Go H5927 up against H5921 the land H776 of Merathaim, H4850 even against H5921 it, and against H413 the inhabitants H3427 of Pekod: H6489 waste H2717 and utterly destroy H2763 after H310 them, said H5002 the LORD, H3068 and do H6213 according to all H3605 that I have commanded H6680 you.

Come H935 against her from the utmost H7093 border, H7093 open H6605 her storehouses: H3965 cast H5549 her up as heaps, H6194 and destroy H2763 her utterly: let nothing H408 of her be left. H7611

Behold, H2009 a people H5971 shall come H935 from the north, H6828 and a great H1419 nation, H1471 and many H7227 kings H4428 shall be raised H5782 up from the coasts H3411 of the earth. H776

They shall hold H2388 the bow H7198 and the lance: H3591 they are cruel, H394 and will not show mercy: H7355 their voice H6963 shall roar H1993 like the sea, H3220 and they shall ride H7392 on horses, H5483 every one put in array, H6186 like a man H376 to the battle, H4421 against H5921 you, O daughter H1323 of Babylon. H894

And I will make you to pass H5674 with your enemies H341 into a land H776 which you know H3045 not: for a fire H784 is kindled H6919 in my anger, H639 which shall burn H3344 on you.

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD; H3068 Behold, H2005 I will raise H5782 up against H5921 Babylon, H894 and against H413 them that dwell H3427 in the middle H3820 of them that rise H6965 up against me, a destroying H7843 wind; H7307

Against H413 him that bends H1869 let the archer H1869 bend H1869 his bow, H7198 and against H413 him that lifts H5927 himself up in his brigandine: H5630 and spare H2550 you not her young H970 men; destroy H2763 you utterly all H3605 her host. H6635

Now in the first H259 year H8141 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia, H6539 that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by the mouth H6310 of Jeremiah H3414 might be fulfilled, H3615 the LORD H3068 stirred H5782 up the spirit H7307 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia, H6539 that he made a proclamation H5674 H6963 throughout all H3605 his kingdom, H4438 and put it also H1571 in writing, H4385 saying, H559

Thus H3541 said H559 Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia, H6539 The LORD H3068 God H430 of heaven H8064 has given H5414 me all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth; H776 and he has charged H6485 me to build H1129 him an house H1004 at Jerusalem, H3389 which H834 is in Judah. H3063

Lift H5375 you up a banner H5251 on the high H8192 mountain, H2022 exalt H7311 the voice H6963 to them, shake H5130 the hand, H3027 that they may go H935 into the gates H6607 of the nobles. H5081

The noise H6963 of a multitude H1995 in the mountains, H2022 like H1823 as of a great H7227 people; H5971 a tumultuous H7588 noise H6963 of the kingdoms H4467 of nations H1471 gathered H622 together: the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 musters H6485 the host H6635 of the battle. H4421

A grievous H7186 vision H2380 is declared H5046 to me; the treacherous H898 dealer deals H6213 treacherously, H898 and the spoiler H7703 spoils. H7703 Go H5927 up, O Elam: H5867 besiege, H6696 O Media; H4074 all H3605 the sighing H585 thereof have I made to cease. H7673

I have raised H5782 up one from the north, H6828 and he shall come: H857 from the rising H4217 of the sun H8121 shall he call H7121 on my name: H8034 and he shall come H935 on princes H5461 as on mortar, H2563 and as the potter H3335 treads H7429 clay. H2916

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 to his anointed, H4899 to Cyrus, H3566 whose H834 right H3225 hand H3225 I have held, H2388 to subdue H7286 nations H1471 before H6440 him; and I will loose H6605 the loins H4975 of kings, H4428 to open H6605 before H6440 him the two leaved H1817 gates; H1817 and the gates H8179 shall not be shut; H5462

And I will give H5414 you the treasures H214 of darkness, H2822 and hidden H4301 riches H4301 of secret H4565 places, that you may know H3045 that I, the LORD, H3068 which call H7121 you by your name, H8034 am the God H430 of Israel. H3478

Put yourselves in array H6186 against H5921 Babylon H894 round H5439 about: all H3605 you that bend H1869 the bow, H7198 shoot H3034 at H413 her, spare H2550 no H408 arrows: H2671 for she has sinned H2398 against the LORD. H3068

Call H8085 together the archers H7228 against H413 Babylon: H894 all H3605 you that bend H1869 the bow, H7198 camp H2583 against H5921 it round H5439 about; let none H408 thereof escape: H6413 recompense H7999 her according to her work; H6467 according to all H3605 that she has done, H6213 do H6213 to her: for she has been proud H2102 against H413 the LORD, H3068 against H413 the Holy H6944 One of Israel. H3478

From the blood H1818 of the slain, H2491 from the fat H2459 of the mighty, H1368 the bow H7198 of Jonathan H3083 turned H7734 not back, H268 and the sword H2719 of Saul H7586 returned H7725 not empty. H7387

Their bows H7198 also shall dash H7376 the young H5288 men to pieces; and they shall have no H3808 pity H7355 on the fruit H6529 of the womb; H990 their eyes H5869 shall not spare H2347 children. H1121
