Jeremiah 51:35-58 My violence and my remainder upon Babel, shall she dwelling in Zion say; and my blood to the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁵ My violence and my remainder upon Babel, shall she dwelling in Zion say; and my blood to the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. ³⁶ For this, thus said Jehovah: Behold me pleading thy cause, and I took vengeance with thy vengeance; and I dried up her sea, and made her fountains dry. ³⁷ And Babel was for heaps, a habitation of jackals, an astonishment and a hissing, from none inhabiting. ³⁸ Together as lions shall they roar: they shook themselves as the lion's whelps. ³⁹ In their heat I will set their drinkings, and I made them drunken so that they shall exult, and sleep an eternal sleep, and they shall not rouse up, says Jehovah. ⁴⁰ I will bring them down as lambs for the slaughter, as rams with he goats. ⁴¹ How was Sheshach taken and the praise of all the earth will be seized; how was Babel for a desolation among the nations! ⁴² The sea came up against Babel: with the multitude of rolling waves was she covered. ⁴³ Her cities were for a desolation, a land of dryness and a sterile region, a land not a man dwells in them, and not the son of man shall pass through them. ⁴⁴ And I reviewed over Bel in Babel, and brought forth his swallowing from his mouth: and the nations shall no more flow to him: also the wall of Babel fell. ⁴⁵ Go ye out from her midst, my people, and save ye each his soul from the burning of the anger of Jehovah. ⁴⁶ And lest your heart shall be faint and ye be afraid for the report being heard in the land; and a report came in a year, and after it in a year a report, and violence in the land, dominion against dominion. ⁴⁷ For this, behold, the days coming and I reviewed upon the carved images of Babel: and all her land shall be ashamed, and all her wounded shall fall in her midst ⁴⁸ And the heavens and the earth shouted against Babel, and all which is in them: for those laying waste shall come against her from the north, says Jehovah. ⁴⁹ Also Babel for the falling of the wounded of Israel, also for Babel fell the wounded of all the earth. ⁵⁰ Being saved from the sword, go: ye shall not stand: remember from far off Jehovah, and Jerusalem shall come up upon your heart ⁵¹ We were ashamed for we heard reproach: shame covered our faces, for strangers came to the holy places of the house of Jehovah. ⁵² For this, behold, the days coming, says Jehovah, and I reviewed upon her carved images: and in all her land the wounded shall groan. ⁵³ If Babel shall go up to the heavens, and if she shall fortify the height of her strength, from me shall they laying waste come to her, says Jehovah. ⁵⁴ The voice of a cry from Babel, and a great breaking from the land of the Chaldeans: ⁵⁵ For Jehovah laid Babel waste, and he destroyed from her the great voice: and the billows roared as many waters, and a noise of their voice was given. ⁵⁶ For he spoiling came upon her, upon Babel, and her strong ones were taken, their bow was broken: for the God of recompenses, Jehovah requiting will requite. ⁵⁷ And I made drunk her chiefs and her wise, her prefects and her rulers, and her strong ones: and they shall sleep an eternal sleep, and they shall not rise up, says the King, Jehovah of armies his name. ⁵⁸ Thus said Jehovah of armies: The broad walls of Babel being demolished, shall be demolished, and her high gates shall be burnt in fire; the peoples shall labor in vain, the nations for the fire, and they shall be weary.
