JER-50: 3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against

her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell

therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and

beast. <against> <beast> <both> <cometh> <depart> <desolate>

JER-50: 4 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the

children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah

together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD

their God. <children> <come> <days> <go> <god> <going> <israel>

JER-50: 5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces

thitherward, [saying] , Come, and let us join ourselves to the

LORD in a perpetual covenant [that] shall not be forgotten.

<zion>

JER-50: 6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have

caused them to go astray, they have turned them away [on] the

mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have

forgotten their restingplace. <astray> <away> <been> <caused>

JER-50: 7 All that found them have devoured them: and their

adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned

against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the

hope of their fathers. <adversaries> <against> <all> <because>

JER-50: 8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out

of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the

flocks. <babylon> <before> <chaldeans> <flocks> <forth> <go>

JER-50: 9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against

Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and

they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she

shall be taken: their arrows [shall be] as of a mighty expert

man; none shall return in vain. <against> <array> <arrows>

JER-50: 10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her

shall be satisfied, saith the LORD. <all> <chaldea> <lord>

JER-50: 11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye

destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the

heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls; <are> <because> <bellow>

JER-50: 12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare

you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations

[shall be] a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. <ashamed>

JER-50: 13 Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be

inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth

by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

<wrath>

JER-50: 14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about:

all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she

hath sinned against the LORD. <against> <all> <array> <arrows>

JER-50: 15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her

hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for

it [is] the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as

she hath done, do unto her. <against> <are> <do> <done> <down>

JER-50: 16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth

the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing

sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall

flee every one to his own land. <babylon> <cut> <every> <fear>

<turn>

JER-50: 17 Israel [is] a scattered sheep; the lions have driven

[him] away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and

last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.

JER-50: 18 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of

Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land,

as I have punished the king of Assyria. <assyria> <babylon>

JER-50: 19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and

he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be

satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead. <again> <bashan>

JER-50: 20 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the

iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and [there shall be]

none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I

will pardon them whom I reserve. <days> <found> <iniquity>

JER-50: 21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, [even] against

it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly

destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that

I have commanded thee. <after> <against> <all> <commanded>

JER-50: 22 A sound of battle [is] in the land, and of great

destruction. <battle> <destruction> <great> <land> <sound>

JER-50: 23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and

broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

JER-50: 24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken,

O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also

caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. <against>

JER-50: 25 The LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought

forth the weapons of his indignation: for this [is] the work of

the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans. <armoury>

JER-50: 26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her

storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let

nothing of her be left. <against> <border> <cast> <come>

JER-50: 27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the

slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of

their visitation. <all> <bullocks> <come> <day> <down> <go>

JER-50: 28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the

land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD

our God, the vengeance of his temple. <babylon> <declare>

<zion>

JER-50: 29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye

that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof

escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all

that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against

the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel. <against> <all>

JER-50: 30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets,

and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the

LORD. <all> <cut> <day> <fall> <lord> <men> <off> <saith>

JER-50: 31 Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud,

saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time

[that] I will visit thee. <against> <behold> <come> <day> <god>

JER-50: 32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none

shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and

it shall devour all round about him. <all> <cities> <devour>

JER-50: 33 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel

and the children of Judah [were] oppressed together: and all

that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them

go. <all> <captives> <children> <fast> <go> <held> <hosts>

JER-50: 34 Their Redeemer [is] strong; the LORD of hosts [is]

his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may

give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

JER-50: 35 A sword [is] upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and

upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon

her wise [men] . <babylon> <chaldeans> <inhabitants> <lord>

JER-50: 36 A sword [is] upon the liars; and they shall dote: a

sword [is] upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

JER-50: 37 A sword [is] upon their horses, and upon their

chariots, and upon all the mingled people that [are] in the

midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword [is] upon

her treasures; and they shall be robbed. <all> <are> <become>

JER-50: 38 A drought [is] upon her waters; and they shall be

dried up: for it [is] the land of graven images, and they are

mad upon [their] idols. <are> <dried> <drought> <graven> <idols>

JER-50: 39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild

beasts of the islands shall dwell [there] , and the owls shall

dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever;

neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.

JER-50: 40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour

[cities] thereof, saith the LORD; [so] shall no man abide there,

neither shall any son of man dwell therein. <any> <cities>

JER-50: 41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a

great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts

of the earth. <behold> <coasts> <come> <earth> <great> <kings>

JER-50: 42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they [are]

cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the

sea, and they shall ride upon horses, [every one] put in array,

like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.

JER-50: 43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them,

and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, [and]

pangs as of a woman in travail. <anguish> <babylon> <feeble>

JER-50: 44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the

swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will

make them suddenly run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man,

that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who

will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will

stand before me? <appoint> <away> <before> <behold> <chosen>

JER-50: 45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he

hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath

purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of

the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make [their]

habitation desolate with them. <against> <babylon> <chaldeans>

JER-50: 46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is

moved, and the cry is heard among the nations. <among> <babylon>

JER-51: 1 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against

Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that

rise up against me, a destroying wind; <against> <babylon>

JER-51: 2 And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her,

and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall

be against her round about. <against> <babylon> <day> <empty>

JER-51: 3 Against [him that] bendeth let the archer bend his bow,

and against [him that] lifteth himself up in his brigandine:

and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.

JER-51: 4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans,

and [they that are] thrust through in her streets. <are>

<thus>

JER-51: 5 For Israel [hath] not [been] forsaken, nor Judah of

his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with

sin against the Holy One of Israel. <against> <been> <filled>

JER-51: 6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every

man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this [is] the

time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her a

recompense. <babylon> <cut> <deliver> <every> <flee> <iniquity>

JER-51: 7 Babylon [hath been] a golden cup in the LORD'S hand,

that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her

wine; therefore the nations are mad. <all> <are> <babylon>

JER-51: 8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her;

take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. <babylon>

JER-51: 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. <babylon> <country> <even> <every> <forsake> <go>

JER-51: 10 The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come,

and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.

JER-51: 11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD

hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his

device [is] against Babylon, to destroy it; because it [is] the

vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple. <against>

JER-51: 12 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make

the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for

the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against

the inhabitants of Babylon. <against> <ambushes> <babylon>

JER-51: 13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in

treasures, thine end is come, [and] the measure of thy

covetousness. <come> <covetousness> <dwellest> <end> <many>

JER-51: 14 The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, [saying] ,

Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they

shall lift up a shout against thee. <against> <caterpillars>

JER-51: 15 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath

established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the

heaven by his understanding. <earth> <established> <hath>

<world>

JER-51: 16 When he uttereth [his] voice, [there is] a multitude

of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend

from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and

bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. <ascend>

JER-51: 17 Every man is brutish by [his] knowledge; every

founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image

[is] falsehood, and [there is] no breath in them. <breath>

JER-51: 18 They [are] vanity, the work of errors: in the time of

their visitation they shall perish. <are> <errors> <perish>

JER-51: 19 The portion of Jacob [is] not like them; for he [is]

the former of all things: and [Israel is] the rod of his

inheritance: the LORD of hosts [is] his name. <all> <former>

JER-51: 20 Thou [art] my battle ax [and] weapons of war: for

with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will

I destroy kingdoms; <art> <ax> <battle> <break> <destroy>

JER-51: 21 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and

his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and

his rider; <break> <chariot> <horse> <pieces> <rider> <will>

<with>

JER-51: 22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman;

and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with

thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; <also>

JER-51: 23 I will also break in pieces with thee 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 captains and rulers. <also> <break> <captains> <flock>

<yoke>

JER-51: 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 the LORD. <all> <babylon> <chaldea>

JER-51: 25 Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying mountain,

saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will

stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the

rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. <against> <all>

JER-51: 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 the LORD. <corner> <desolate> <ever> <foundations> <lord>

JER-51: 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

Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to

come up as the rough caterpillars. <against> <among> <appoint>

JER-51: 28 Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the

Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all

the land of his dominion. <against> <all> <captains> <dominion>

<with>

JER-51: 29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every

purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make

the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.

JER-51: 30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight,

they have remained in [their] holds: their might hath failed;

they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her

bars are broken. <are> <babylon> <bars> <became> <broken>

JER-51: 31 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger

to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is

taken at [one] end, <another> <babylon> <city> <end> <king>

JER-51: 32 And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they

have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

JER-51: 33 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;

The daughter of Babylon [is] like a threshingfloor, [it is] time

to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest

shall come. <babylon> <come> <daughter> <god> <harvest> <hosts>

JER-51: 34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me,

he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath

swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my

delicates, he hath cast me out. <babylon> <belly> <cast>

JER-51: 35 The violence done to me and to my flesh [be] upon

Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the

inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. <babylon> <blood>

JER-51: 36 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead

thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her

sea, and make her springs dry. <behold> <cause> <dry> <lord>

JER-51: 37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for

dragons, and astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.

JER-51: 38 They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell

as lions' whelps. <like> <lions> <roar> <together> <whelps>

<yell>

JER-51: 39 In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will

make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual

sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD. <drunken> <feasts> <heat>

<will>

JER-51: 40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,

like rams with he goats. <bring> <down> <goats> <lambs> <like>

JER-51: 41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the

whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment

among the nations! <among> <astonishment> <babylon> <become>

<whole>

JER-51: 42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with

the multitude of the waves thereof. <babylon> <come> <covered>

JER-51: 43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a

wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth [any]

son of man pass thereby. <any> <are> <cities> <desolation>

JER-51: 44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring

forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the

nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall

of Babylon shall fall. <any> <babylon> <bel> <bring> <fall>

JER-51: 45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver

ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD. <anger>

<soul>

JER-51: 46 And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour

that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come [one]

year, and after that in [another] year [shall come] a rumour,

and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. <after> <against>

JER-51: 47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do

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. <all> <babylon> <behold> <come> <confounded> <days> <do>

JER-51: 48 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that [is]

therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come

unto her from the north, saith the LORD. <all> <babylon> <come>

JER-51: 49 As Babylon [hath caused] the slain of Israel to fall,

so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth. <all>

JER-51: 50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not

still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into

your mind. <afar> <away> <come> <escaped> <go> <have> <into>

JER-51: 51 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach:

shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the

sanctuaries of the LORD'S house. <are> <because> <come>

JER-51: 52 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD,

that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all

her land the wounded shall groan. <all> <behold> <come> <days>

JER-51: 53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though

she should fortify the height of her strength, [yet] from me

shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD. <babylon> <come>

JER-51: 54 A sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great

destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: <babylon>

JER-51: 55 Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed

out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great

waters, a noise of their voice is uttered: <babylon> <because>

JER-51: 56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, [even] upon

Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows

is broken: for the LORD God of recompenses shall surely requite.

JER-51: 57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise [men]

, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they

shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King,

whose name [is] the LORD of hosts. <captains> <drunk> <hosts>

JER-51: 58 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of

Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be

burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the

folk in the fire, and they shall be weary. <babylon> <broad>

<with>

JER-51: 59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah

the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with

Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of

his reign. And [this] Seraiah [was] a quiet prince. <babylon>

JER-51: 60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should

come upon Babylon, [even] all these words that are written

against Babylon. <against> <all> <are> <babylon> <book> <come>

<wrote>

JER-51: 61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to

Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words; <all>

JER-51: 62 Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against

this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither

man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever. <against>

JER-51: 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: <bind> <book> <cast> <end>

JER-51: 64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and

shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and

they shall be weary. Thus far [are] the words of Jeremiah. <are>

JER-52: 1 Zedekiah [was] one and twenty years old when he began

to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his

mother's name [was] Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

JER-52: 2 And he did [that which was] evil in the eyes of the

LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. <all> <did>

JER-52: 3 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in

Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence,

that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. <against>

JER-52: 4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in

the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that]

Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army,

against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts

against it round about. <against> <all> <army> <babylon> <built>

JER-52: 5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of

king Zedekiah. <besieged> <city> <eleventh> <king> <so> <year>

JER-52: 6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth [day] of the

month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no

bread for the people of the land. <bread> <city> <day> <famine>

JER-52: 7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war

fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the

gate between the two walls, which [was] by the king's garden; (

now the Chaldeans [were] by the city round about: ) and they

went by the way of the plain. <all> <between> <broken>

<which>

JER-52: 8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king,

and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army

was scattered from him. <after> <all> <army> <chaldeans> <him>

JER-52: 9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the

king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave

judgment upon him. <babylon> <carried> <gave> <hamath> <him>

JER-52: 10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah

before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

JER-52: 11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of

Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put

him in prison till the day of his death. <babylon> <bound>

JER-52: 12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth [day] of the

month, which [was] the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of

Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, [which] served

the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem, <babylon> <came> <captain>

JER-52: 13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's

house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of

the great [men] , burned he with fire: <all> <burned> <fire>

JER-52: 14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that [were] with

the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem

round about. <all> <army> <brake> <captain> <chaldeans> <down>

JER-52: 15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried

away captive [certain] of the poor of the people, and the

residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that

fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the

multitude. <away> <babylon> <captain> <captive> <carried>

JER-52: 16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left

[certain] of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for

husbandmen. <captain> <certain> <guard> <husbandmen> <land>

JER-52: 17 Also the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of

the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that [was] in the

house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the

brass of them to Babylon. <all> <also> <babylon> <bases> <brake>

<sea>
