|
|
55. For the LORD spoileth Babylon, and destroyeth out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters, the noise of their voice is uttered:
|
55. Because H3588 the LORD H3068 hath spoiled H7703 H853 Babylon H894 , and destroyed H6 out of H4480 her the great H1419 voice H6963 ; when her waves H1530 do roar H1993 like great H7227 waters H4325 , a noise H7588 of their voice H6963 is uttered H5414 :
|
|
56. for the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces: for the LORD is a God of recompences, he shall surely requite.
|
56. Because H3588 the spoiler H7703 is come H935 upon H5921 her, even upon H5921 Babylon H894 , and her mighty men H1368 are taken H3920 , every one of their bows H7198 is broken H2865 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 God H410 of recompenses H1578 shall surely requite H7999 H7999 .
|
|
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 the LORD of hosts.
|
57. And I will make drunk H7937 her princes H8269 , and her wise H2450 men , her captains H6346 , and her rulers H5461 , and her mighty men H1368 : and they shall sleep H3462 a perpetual H5769 sleep H8142 , and not H3808 wake H6974 , saith H5002 the King H4428 , whose name H8034 is the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 .
|
|
58. Thus saith the LORD of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labour for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary.
|
58. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 ; The broad H7342 walls H2346 of Babylon H894 shall be utterly broken H6209 H6209 , and her high H1364 gates H8179 shall be burned H3341 with fire H784 ; and the people H5971 shall labor H3021 in vain H7385 , and the folk H3816 in the fire H784 , and they shall be weary H3286 .

And this Seraiah H8304 was a quiet H4496 prince H8269 .
|
|
60. And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
|
60. So Jeremiah H3414 wrote H3789 in H413 a H259 book H5612 H853 all H3605 the evil H7451 that H834 should come H935 upon H413 Babylon H894 , even H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 that are written H3789 against H413 Babylon H894 .
|
|
61. And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, then see that thou read all these words,
|
61. And Jeremiah H3414 said H559 to H413 Seraiah H8304 , When thou comest H935 to Babylon H894 , and shalt see H7200 , and shalt read H7121 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 ;
|
|
62. and say, O LORD, 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.
|
62. Then shalt thou say H559 , O LORD H3068 , thou H859 hast spoken H1696 against H413 this H2088 place H4725 , to cut it off H3772 , that none H1115 shall H1961 remain H3427 in it , neither man H4480 H120 nor H5704 beast H929 , but H3588 that it shall be H1961 desolate H8077 forever H5769 .
|
|
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 Euphrates:
|
63. And it shall be H1961 , when thou hast made an end H3615 of reading H7121 H853 this H2088 book H5612 , that thou shalt bind H7194 a stone H68 to H5921 it , and cast H7993 it into H413 the midst H8432 of Euphrates H6578 :
|
|
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.
|
64. And thou shalt say H559 , Thus H3602 shall Babylon H894 sink H8257 , and shall not H3808 rise H6965 from H4480 H6440 the evil H7451 that H834 I H595 will bring H935 upon H5921 her : and they shall be weary H3286 . Thus H5704 far H2008 are the words H1697 of Jeremiah H3414 .
