Jeremiah 51:1-14 Thus hath the Lorde sayd: beholde, I wyll rayse vp a perlous wynde agaynst Babylon and her citezens, that beare euyll wyll agaynst me.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Thus hath the Lorde sayd: beholde, I wyll rayse vp a perlous wynde agaynst Babylon and her citezens, that beare euyll wyll agaynst me. ² I wyll sende also into Babilon fanners, to fanne her out, and to destroye her lande: for in the daye of her trouble they shalbe aboute her on euery syde. ³ Moreouer, the Lorde hath sayde vnto the bowe men, and to them that clyme ouer the walles in brest plates. Ye shall not spare her yonge men: kyll downe all her host. ⁴ Thus the slayne shall fall downe in the lande of the Chaldees, and the wounded in the stretes. ⁵ As for Israel and Iuda, they shall not be forsaken of their God, of the Lorde of hostes for the holy one of Israel sake: no, though they haue fylled all their land full of synne. ⁶ Flye awaye from Babilon, euery man saue his lyfe, that ye be not roted out wt her wickednesse: for the tyme of the Lordes vengeaunce is come: yee, he shall reward her agayne. ⁷ Babylon hathe bene in the Lordes hande, a golden cuppe that maketh all landes droncken.
