Jeremiah 51:35-58 The violence done to me and to my flesh is on Babylon, the dweller in Zion shall say. And Jerusalem shall say, My blood shall be on the dwellers of Chaldea.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁵ The violence done to me and to my flesh is on Babylon, the dweller in Zion shall say. And Jerusalem shall say, My blood shall be on the dwellers of Chaldea. ³⁶ So Jehovah says this: Behold, I will strive for you and take vengeance for you. And I will dry up her sea and make her well dry. ³⁷ And Babylon shall become heaps, a home for jackals, a horror and a hissing, without a dweller. ³⁸ They shall roar together like lions, they shall growl like lions' cubs. ³⁹ In their heat, I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunk so that they rejoice and sleep a never ending sleep and never awaken, says Jehovah. ⁴⁰ I shall bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats. ⁴¹ How Sheshach is captured! And how the praise of all the earth is seized! How Babylon has become a ruin among the nations! ⁴² The sea has come up over Babylon, she is covered with the multitude of its waves. ⁴³ Her cities have become a ruin, a dry land and a wilderness, a land in which no man dwells, nor does any son of man pass by it. ⁴⁴ And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. And the nations shall not flow together any more to him; yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall. ⁴⁵ My people, go out of her midst, and each man deliver his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah. ⁴⁶ And that your heart not faint, and you fear the report that shall be heard in the land, the report shall come in a year. And after that the report shall come in another year, and there shall be violence in the land, ruler against ruler. ⁴⁷ So behold, the days come that I will punish on the idols of Babylon. And all her land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in her midst. ⁴⁸ Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, shall shout for Babylon. For the plunderers shall come to her from the north, says Jehovah. ⁴⁹ As Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel, so for Babylon the slain of all the earth shall fall. ⁵⁰ You who have escaped the sword, go away. Do not stand still. Remember Jehovah afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your heart. ⁵¹ We have turned pale because we have heard reproach, dishonor has covered our faces. For foreigners have come into the holy places of the house of Jehovah. ⁵² So, behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will punish on her idols, and through all her land the wounded shall groan. ⁵³ Though Babylon should mount up to the heavens, and though she should fortify her strong height, plunderers shall come from Me to her, states Jehovah. ⁵⁴ A sound of a cry from Babylon, and great ruin from the land of Chaldeans! ⁵⁵ For Jehovah is stripping Babylon, and the great voice will perish out of her. And her waves will roar like many waters, the noise of their voice is given. ⁵⁶ Because the plunderer is coming on her, on Babylon, and her mighty men are captured, their bows are shattered; for Jehovah the God of recompenses shall surely repay. ⁵⁷ And I will make her rulers drunk, also her wise ones, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a never-ending sleep, and not awaken, says the King whose name is Jehovah of Hosts. ⁵⁸ So says Jehovah of Hosts, The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly laid bare, and her high gates shall be burned with fire. And the peoples shall labor as for vanity, and the peoples as for fire; and they shall be weary.
