24:050:008 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.
24:050:009 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.
24:050:010 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all
that spoil her shall be
satisfied,
saith the lord.
24:050:011 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;
24:050:012 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.
24:050:013 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.
24:050:014 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.
24:050:015 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.
24:050:016 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.
24:050:017 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.
24:050:018 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.
24:050:019 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.
24:050:020 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.
