Why, H3651 behold, H2009 the days H3117 come, H935 said H5002 the LORD, H3068 that I will do judgment H6485 on her graven H6456 images: and through all H3605 her land H776 the wounded H2491 shall groan. H602

Declare H5046 you among the nations, H1471 and publish, H8085 and set H5375 up a standard; H5251 publish, H8085 and conceal H3582 not: say, H559 Babylon H894 is taken, H3920 Bel H1078 is confounded, H3001 Merodach H4781 is broken H2844 in pieces; her idols H6091 are confounded, H3001 her images H1544 are broken H2865 in pieces.

And, behold, H2009 here H2088 comes H935 a chariot H7393 of men, H376 with a couple H6776 of horsemen. H6571 And he answered H6030 and said, H559 Babylon H894 is fallen, H5307 is fallen; H5307 and all H3605 the graven H6456 images of her gods H430 he has broken H7665 to the ground. H776

Bel H1078 bows H3766 down, H3766 Nebo H5015 stoops, H7164 their idols H6091 were on the beasts, H2416 and on the cattle: H929 your carriages H5385 were heavy H3514 laden; H6006 they are a burden H4853 to the weary H5889 beast.

They stoop, H7164 they bow H3766 down H3766 together; H3162 they could H3201 not deliver H4422 the burden, H4853 but themselves H5315 are gone H1980 into captivity. H7628

They are vanity, H1892 the work H4639 of errors: H8595 in the time H6256 of their visitation H6486 they shall perish. H6

Therefore H3651 thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 Behold, H2005 I will punish H6485 them: the young H970 men shall die H4191 by the sword; H2719 their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323 shall die H4191 by famine: H7458

What H4100 will you say H559 when H3588 he shall punish H6485 you? for you have taught H3925 them to be captains, H441 and as chief H7218 over H5921 you: shall not sorrows H2256 take H270 you, as a woman H802 in travail? H3205

And as for the prophet, H5030 and the priest, H3548 and the people, H5971 that shall say, H559 The burden H4853 of the LORD, H3068 I will even punish H6485 that man H376 and his house. H1004

And it shall come H1961 to pass, when seventy H7657 years H8141 are accomplished, H4390 that I will punish H6485 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and that nation, H1471 said H5002 the LORD, H3068 for their iniquity, H5771 and the land H776 of the Chaldeans, H3778 and will make H7760 it perpetual H5769 desolations. H8077

And I will render H7999 to Babylon H894 and to all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Chaldea H3778 all H3605 their evil H7451 that they have done H6213 in Zion H6726 in your sight, H5869 said H5002 the LORD. H3068

Her cities H5892 are a desolation, H8047 a dry H6723 land, H776 and a wilderness, H6160 a land H776 wherein H834 no H3808 man H376 dwells, H3427 neither H3808 does any son H1121 of man H120 pass H5674 thereby. H2004

Your mother H517 shall be sore H3966 confounded; H954 she that bore H3205 you shall be ashamed: H2659 behold, H2009 the last H319 of the nations H1471 shall be a wilderness, H4057 a dry H6723 land, and a desert. H6160

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

Cut H3772 off the sower H2232 from Babylon, H894 and him that handles H8610 the sickle H4038 in the time H6256 of harvest: H7105 for fear H6440 of the oppressing H3238 sword H2719 they shall turn H6437 every H376 one H376 to his people, H5971 and they shall flee H5127 every H376 one H376 to his own land. H776

A sword H2719 is on the Chaldeans, H3778 said H5002 the LORD, H3068 and on the inhabitants H3427 of Babylon, H894 and on her princes, H8269 and on her wise H2450 men.

A sword H2719 is on their horses, H5483 and on their chariots, H7393 and on all H3605 the mingled H6154 people that are in the middle H8432 of her; and they shall become H1961 as women: H802 a sword H2719 is on her treasures; H214 and they shall be robbed. H962

Therefore H5921 H3651 the wild H6728 beasts H6728 of the desert H6728 with the wild H338 beasts H338 of the islands H339 shall dwell H3427 there, and the owls H1323 H3284 shall dwell H3427 therein: and it shall be no H3808 more H5750 inhabited H3427 for ever; H5331 neither H3808 shall it be dwelled H7931 in from generation H1755 to generation.
