⁷ And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place. And I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their life. And I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth.
⁸ And I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues of it.
⁹ And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. And they will eat each one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies and those who seek their life, will distress them.
¹⁰ Then you will break the earthenware in the sight of the men who go with you, ¹¹ and will say to them, Jehovah of hosts says thus: Even so I will break this people and this city, as a potter's vessel is broken, that cannot be made whole again. And they will bury in Topheth till there is no place to bury.
¹² Thus I will do to this place, says Jehovah and to the inhabitants of it, even making this city as Topheth. ¹³ And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, will be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.
¹⁴ Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Jehovah had sent him to prophesy and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house and said to all the people, ¹⁵ Jehovah of hosts says thus, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.

Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

¹ You also, son of man, take a tile and lay it before you and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem. ² And lay siege against it and build forts against it and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it and plant battering rams against it all around. ³ And take to you an iron pan and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city. And set your face toward it and it will be besieged and you will lay siege against it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.
⁴ Moreover lie you upon your left side and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that you will lie upon it, you will bear their iniquity. ⁵ For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be a number of days to you, even three hundred and ninety days. So you will bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
⁶ And again, when you have accomplished these, you will lie on your right side and will bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days, each day for a year. I have appointed it to you. ⁷ And you will set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered and you will prophesy against it. ⁸ And behold, I lay bands upon you and you will not turn from one side to the other, till you have accomplished the days of your siege.
⁹ Also take to you wheat and barley and beans and lentils and millet and spelt and put them in one vessel and make you bread of it, according to the number of the days that you will lie upon your side, even three hundred and ninety days, you will eat of it. ¹⁰ And your food which you will eat will be by weight, twenty shekels a day. You will eat it from time to time. ¹¹ And you will drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. You will drink from time to time.
¹² And you will eat it as barley cakes and you will bake it in their sight with manure that comes out of man. ¹³ And Jehovah said, Even thus will the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations where I will drive them.
¹⁴ Then I said, Ah lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has not been polluted. For from my youth up even till now I have not eaten of what dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, neither has abominable flesh come into my mouth. ¹⁵ Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's manure for man's manure and you will prepare your bread of it.
¹⁶ Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem and they will eat bread by weight and with fearfulness and they will drink water by measure and in dismay, ¹⁷ that they may lack bread and water and be dismayed one with another and pine away in their iniquity.

¹ And you, son of man, take a sharp sword. As a barber's razor you will take it to you and will cause it to pass upon your head and upon your beard. Then take balances to weigh and divide the hair.
² A third part you will burn in the fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are fulfilled and you will take a third part and kill* with the sword all around it and a third part you will scatter to the wind. And I will draw out a sword after them. ³ And you will take from it a few in number and bind them in your skirts. ⁴ And of these again you will take and cast them into the midst of the fire and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will come out into all the house of Israel.
⁵ The lord Jehovah says thus: This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the midst of the nations and countries are all around her. ⁶ And she has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations and against my statutes more than the countries that are all around her, for they have rejected my ordinances and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.
⁷ Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Because you* are more disorderly than the nations that are all around you* and have not walked in my statutes, nor have kept my ordinances, no, you* have not even done according to the ordinances of the nations that are all around you*, ⁸ therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I, even I, am against you and I will execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations. ⁹ And I will do in you what I have not done and of which I will not do any more the like, because of all your abominations.
¹⁰ Therefore the fathers will eat the sons in the midst of you and the sons will eat their fathers. And I will execute judgments on you and I will scatter to all the winds the whole remnant of you.
¹¹ Therefore, as I live, says the lord Jehovah, surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I also will diminish you, nor will my eye spare. And I also will have no pity.
¹² A third part of you will die with the pestilence and they will be consumed with famine in the midst of you and a third part will fall by the sword all around you and a third part I will scatter to all the winds and will draw out a sword after them.
¹³ Thus my anger will be accomplished and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest and I will be comforted. And they will know that I, Jehovah, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath upon them.
¹⁴ Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by.
¹⁵ So it will be a reproach and a taunt, a lesson and an astonishment, to the nations that are all around you, when I will execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath and in wrathful rebukes–I, Jehovah, have spoken it– ¹⁶ when I will send upon them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you*. And I will increase the famine upon you* and will break your* staff of bread. ¹⁷ And I will send upon you* famine and evil beasts and they will bereave you. And pestilence and blood will pass through you. And I will bring the sword upon you. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.

³ Therefore, you son of man, prepare stuff for moving and move by day in their sight. And you will move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
⁴ And you will bring forth your stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for moving. And you will go forth yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go forth into exile. ⁵ Dig through the wall in their sight and carry out by that. ⁶ You will bear it upon your shoulder in their sight and carry it forth in the dark. You will cover your face, that you do not see the land. For I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.
⁷ And I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my stuff by day, as stuff for moving and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it forth in the dark and bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.
⁸ And in the morning the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, ⁹ Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing? ¹⁰ You say to them, The lord Jehovah says thus: This burden concerns the ruler in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
¹¹ Say, I am your* sign. Just as I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity. ¹² And the ruler who is among them will bear upon his shoulder in the dark and will go forth. They will dig through the wall to carry out by it. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.
¹³ I will also spread my net upon him and he will be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans, yet he will not see it, though he will die there.
¹⁴ And I will scatter toward every wind all who are all around him to help him and all his groups. And I will draw out the sword after them.
¹⁵ And they will know that I am Jehovah, when I will disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
¹⁶ But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come.
And they will know that I am Jehovah.

²¹ And a strong messenger took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, So Babylon, the great city, will be cast down, with a violent-impulse, and may never be found anymore.

¹² And it happened, when Ben-hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.

¹⁶ And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.

¹¹ He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion all around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

⁵ Because in the day of trouble he will hide me in his shelter. He will hide me in the covering of his tabernacle He will lift me up upon a rock.

²⁰ In the covert of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

²⁸ who says of Cyrus, He is my shepherd and will perform all my pleasure, even saying of Jerusalem, She will be built and of the temple, Your foundation will be laid.

¹⁵ For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says Jehovah. And they will come and they will set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem and against all the walls of it all around and against all the cities of Judah.

⁶ And do not go after other gods to serve them and to worship them and provoke me not to anger with the work of your* hands. And I will do you* no hurt.
⁷ Yet you* have not listened to me, says Jehovah, that you* may provoke me to anger with the work of your* hands to your* own hurt.
⁸ Therefore Jehovah of hosts says thus: Because you* have not heard my words, ⁹ behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says Jehovah and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant and will bring them against this land and against the inhabitants of it and against all these nations all around. And I will utterly destroy them and make them an astonishment and a hissing and everlasting desolations.
¹⁰ Moreover I will take from them the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp. ¹¹ And this whole land will be a desolation and an astonishment. And these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
¹² And it will happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, says Jehovah, for their iniquity and the land of the Chaldeans and I will make it desolate everlasting.
¹³ And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations. ¹⁴ For many nations and great kings will make bondmen of them, even of them and I will recompense them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.
¹⁵ For Jehovah says thus, the God of Israel, to me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it. ¹⁶ And they will drink and reel to and fro and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
¹⁷ Then I took the cup at Jehovah's hand and made all the nations to drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me: ¹⁸ Jerusalem and the cities of Judah and the kings of it and the rulers of it, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing and a curse, as it is this day, ¹⁹ Pharaoh King of Egypt and his servants and his rulers and all his people, ²⁰ and all the mixed people and all the kings of the land of the Uz and all the kings of the Philistines and Ashkelon and Gaza and Ekron and the remnant of Ashdod, ²¹ Edom and Moab and the sons of Ammon, ²² and all the kings of Tyre and all the kings of Sidon and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea, ²³ Dedan and Tema and Buz and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, ²⁴ and all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness, ²⁵ and all the kings of Zimri and all the kings of Elam and all the kings of the Medes, ²⁶ and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth. And the king of Sheshach will drink after them.

⁶ And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. And the beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him. ⁷ And all the nations will serve him and his son and his son's son, until the time of his own land comes. And then many nations and great kings will make him their bondman.
⁸ And it will happen, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish, says Jehovah, with the sword and with the famine and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

²⁷ But do not fear, O Jacob my servant, nor be dismayed, O Israel. For behold, I will save you from afar and your seed from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and will be quiet and at ease and none will make him afraid.
²⁸ Do not fear, O Jacob my servant, says Jehovah, for I am with you. For I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you, but I will not make a full end of you. But I will discipline you in measure and will in no way leave you unpunished.

¹⁸ Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder was worn, yet he had no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.
¹⁹ Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and he will carry off her multitude and take her spoil and take her prey. And it will be the wages for his army. ²⁰ I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me, says the lord Jehovah

²¹ And he changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.

¹⁸ O you king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom and greatness and glory and majesty. ¹⁹ And because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he wanted, he killed and whom he wanted, he kept alive and whom he wanted, he raised up and whom he wanted, he put down.

⁷ And that king, having heard it, was angry, and he having sent his armies, destroyed those murderers and incinerated their city.

²⁹ This is the portion of a wicked man from God and the heritage appointed to him by God.

¹ The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rides upon a swift cloud and comes to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence and the heart of Egypt will melt in the midst of it. ² And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians and they will fight each one against his brother and each one against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
³ And the spirit of Egypt will fail in the midst of it and I will destroy the counsel of it. And they will seek for the idols and for the charmers and for those who have familiar spirits and for the wizards.
⁴ And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. And a fierce king will rule over them, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
⁵ And the waters will fail from the sea and the river will be wasted and become dry. ⁶ And the rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away. ⁷ The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away and be no more.
⁸ And the fishermen will lament and all those who cast a hook into the Nile will mourn and those who spread nets upon the waters will languish. ⁹ Moreover those who work in combed flax and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded. ¹⁰ And the pillars of Egypt will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.
¹¹ The rulers of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How will you* say to Pharaoh, I am the son of wise men, the son of long-ago kings? ¹² Where then are your wise men? And let them tell you now and let them know what Jehovah of hosts has purposed concerning Egypt. ¹³ The rulers of Zoan have become fools. The rulers of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go-astray, the chief of her tribes.
¹⁴ Jehovah has mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her and they have made Egypt go-astray in every work of it, as a drunken man wanders around in his vomit. ¹⁵ Neither will there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
¹⁶ In that day the Egyptians will be like women and they will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shakes over them.
¹⁷ And the land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid because of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, which he purposes against it.
¹⁸ In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear to Jehovah of hosts. One will be called The city of destruction.
¹⁹ In that day will there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt and a pillar to Jehovah at the border of it. ²⁰ And it will be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they will cry to Jehovah because of oppressors and he will send them a savior and a defender and he will deliver them.
²¹ And Jehovah will be known to Egypt and the Egyptians will know Jehovah in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and oblation and will vow a vow to Jehovah and will perform it. ²² And Jehovah will kill* Egypt, slaying and healing and they will return to Jehovah. And he will be entreated by them and will heal them.
²³ In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria. And the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. ²⁴ In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, ²⁵ in that Jehovah of hosts has blessed them, saying, Egypt my people is blessed and Assyria the work of my hands and Israel my inheritance.

² And it will happen, when they say to you, Where will we go forth? Then you will tell them, Jehovah says thus: Such as are for death, to death and such as are for the sword, to the sword and such as are for the famine, to the famine and such as are for captivity, to captivity.

¹⁹ Pharaoh King of Egypt and his servants and his rulers and all his people,

¹³ For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine and by the pestilence,

¹ The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
² Of Egypt, concerning the army of Pharaoh Neco, King of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon killed* in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
³ Prepare you* the buckler and shield and draw near to battle. ⁴ Harness the horses and get up, you* horsemen and stand forth with your* helmets. Furbish the spears. Put on the coats of mail. ⁵ Why have I seen it?
They are dismayed and have turned backward. And their mighty ones are beaten down and have fled in flight and do not look back. Terror is on every side, says Jehovah. ⁶ Do not let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
⁷ Who is this that rises up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers? ⁸ Egypt rises up like the Nile and his waters toss themselves like the rivers. And he says, I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and the inhabitants of it.
⁹ Go up, you* horses and rage, you* chariots. And let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, who handle the shield and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow. ¹⁰ For that day is a day of the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries. And the sword will devour and be satiate and will drink its fill of their blood, for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
¹¹ Go up into Gilead and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt. In vain do you use many medicines; there is no healing for you. ¹² The nations have heard of your shame and the earth is full of your cry. For the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty; they are fallen, both of them together.
¹³ The word that Jehovah spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and kill* the land of Egypt.
¹⁴ Declare in Egypt and proclaim in Migdol and proclaim in Memphis and in Tahpanhes. Say you*, Stand forth and prepare you, for the sword has devoured all around you. ¹⁵ Why are your strong ones swept away? They stood not, because Jehovah drove them.
¹⁶ He made many to stumble, yes, they fell one upon another. And they said, Arise and let us go again to our own people and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword. ¹⁷ They cried there, Pharaoh King of Egypt is but a noise. He has let the appointed time pass by.
¹⁸ As I live, says the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea, so will he come.
¹⁹ O you daughter who dwells in Egypt, prepare yourself to go into captivity. For Memphis will become a desolation and will be burnt up, without inhabitant. ²⁰ Egypt is a very fair heifer, but destruction out of the north has come, it has come. ²¹ Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They did not stand, for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their visitation. ²² Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
²³ They will cut down her forest, says Jehovah, though it cannot be searched because they are more than the locusts and are innumerable. ²⁴ The daughter of Egypt will be put to shame. She will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
²⁵ Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, says, Behold, I will punish Amon of No and Pharaoh and Egypt, with their gods and their kings, even Pharaoh and those who trust in him. ²⁶ And I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of his servants. And afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of long-ago, says Jehovah.

¹² A third part of you will die with the pestilence and they will be consumed with famine in the midst of you and a third part will fall by the sword all around you and a third part I will scatter to all the winds and will draw out a sword after them.

¹ The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying, ² Son of man, prophesy and say, The lord Jehovah says thus: Wail you*, Alas for the day! ³ For the day is near, even the day of Jehovah is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.
⁴ And a sword will come upon Egypt and anguish will be in Ethiopia, when the slain will fall in Egypt and they will take away her multitude and her foundations will be broken down. ⁵ Ethiopia and Put and Lud and all the mixed people and Cub and the sons of the land that is in league, will fall with them by the sword.
⁶ Jehovah says thus: They who also uphold Egypt will fall and the pride of her power will come down. From the Migdol to Syene, they will fall in it by the sword, says the lord Jehovah. ⁷ And they will be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate and her cities will be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
⁸ And they will know at I am Jehovah when I have set a fire in Egypt and all her helpers are destroyed. ⁹ In that day messengers will go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid and there will be anguish upon them, as in the day of Egypt, for behold, it comes.
¹⁰ The lord Jehovah says thus: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. ¹¹ He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain. ¹² And I will make the rivers dry and will sell the land into the hand of evil men. And I will make the land desolate and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers.
I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
¹³ The lord Jehovah says thus: I will also destroy the idols and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis. And there will no more be a ruler from the land of Egypt. And I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
¹⁴ And I will make Pathros desolate and will set a fire in Zoan and will execute judgments upon No. ¹⁵ And I will pour my wrath upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt and I will cut off the multitude of No. ¹⁶ And I will set a fire in Egypt. Sin will be in great anguish and No will be broken up and Memphis will have adversaries in the daytime. ¹⁷ The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth will fall by the sword and these cities will go into captivity. ¹⁸ At Tehaphnehes also the day will withdraw itself when I will break the yokes of Egypt there and the pride of her power will cease in her. As for her, a cloud will cover her and her daughters will go into captivity.
¹⁹ Thus I will execute judgments upon Egypt and they will know that I am Jehovah.
²⁰ And it happened in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, ²¹ Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh King of Egypt. And behold, it has not been bound up, to apply medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it is strong to hold the sword.
²² Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh King of Egypt. And I will break his arms, the strong arm and what was broken and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. ²³ And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and will disperse them through the countries.
²⁴ And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword in his hand. But I will break the arms of Pharaoh and he will groan before him with the groanings of a mortally wounded man.
²⁵ And I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon and the arms of Pharaoh will fall down. And they will know that I am Jehovah when I will put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. ²⁶ And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries.
And they will know that I am Jehovah.

⁹ Then I said, I will not feed you*. What dies, let it die and what is to be cut off, let it be cut off and let those who are left eat each one the flesh of another.

¹² For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night and will kill* all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments. I am Jehovah.

²¹ And they left their images there and David and his men took them away.

⁹ And let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble rulers, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honor and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city and proclaim before him, Thus it will be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.

¹⁰ Deck yourself now with excellency and dignity and array yourself with honor and majesty.

² who covers yourself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,

¹⁸ He also clothed himself with cursing as with his garment and it came into his inward parts like water and like oil into his bones. ¹⁹ Let it be to him as the garments with which he covers himself and for the belt with which he is girded continually.

¹⁶ I will also clothe her priests with salvation and her holy ones will shout aloud for joy.

¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame, but upon himself his crown will flourish.

¹ The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rides upon a swift cloud and comes to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence and the heart of Egypt will melt in the midst of it.

⁹ and behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Fallen, fallen is Babylon. And all the graven images of her gods are broken to the ground.

¹ Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are upon the beasts and upon the cattle. The things that you* carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.

¹⁸ Lift up your eyes all around and behold. All these gather themselves together and come to you. As I live, says Jehovah, you will surely clothe you with them all, as with an ornament and gird yourself with them, like a bride.

¹ Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For hereafter there will no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.

¹⁷ And he put on righteousness as a breastplate and a helmet of salvation upon his head. And he put on garments of vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal as a mantle.

⁵ And strangers will stand and feed your* flocks and foreigners will be your* plowmen and your* vine-dressers.

¹⁰ I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah. My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

²⁵ Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, says, Behold, I will punish Amon of No and Pharaoh and Egypt, with their gods and their kings, even Pharaoh and those who trust in him.

⁷ For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. And Chemosh will go forth into captivity, his priests and his rulers together.

² Declare among the nations and proclaim and set up a standard, proclaim and conceal not. Say, Babylon is taken. Bel is put to shame. Merodach is dismayed. Her images are put to shame; her idols are dismayed.

⁴⁴ And I will execute judgment upon Bel in Babylon and I will bring forth out of his mouth what he has swallowed up. And the nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.

¹³ The lord Jehovah says thus: I will also destroy the idols and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis. And there will no more be a ruler from the land of Egypt. And I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

¹¹ Jehovah will be terrible to them, for he will famish all the gods of the earth. And men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the isles of the nations.

¹² The night has progressed, and the day has drawn near. Therefore, we should place away from ourselves the works of darkness, and should clothe ourselves with the weapons of light.

²⁴ and to have clothed yourselves with the new man, who was created according to God, in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

¹¹ Clothe yourselves with the full-armor of God, that you may be able to stand up to the schemes of the devil.

¹² Therefore as chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, patience,

¹⁴ But over all these things be clothed with the love, which is the bond of maturity.

¹⁸ In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear to Jehovah of hosts. One will be called The city of destruction.
