24:051:003 Against him that bendeth let the archer
bend his bow, and
against
him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine:
and
spare
ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
24:051:004 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of
the Chaldeans, and
they
that are thrust through in her streets.
24:051:005 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor
Judah of his God, of
the
lord of hosts; though their land was filled with
sin
against
the Holy One of Israel.
24:051:006 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver
every man his
soul:
be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time
of
the
LORD’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
24:051:007 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’s
hand, that made
all
the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of
her wine;
therefore
the nations are mad.
24:051:008 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed:
howl for her; take
balm
for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
24:051:009 We would have healed Babylon, but she is
not healed: forsake
her,
and let us go every one into his own country:
for her
judgment
reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the
skies.
24:051:010 The lord hath brought forth our righteousness:
come, and let
us
declare in Zion the work of the lord our God.
24:051:011 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields:
the lord hath
raised
up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his
device
is
against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance
of
the lord, the vengeance of his temple.
24:051:012 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon,
make the watch
strong,
set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for
the
lord
hath both devised and done that which he spake against
the
inhabitants of Babylon.
24:051:013 O thou that dwellest upon many waters,
abundant in treasures,
thine
end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
24:051:014 The lord of hosts hath sworn by himself,
saying, Surely I will
fill
thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall
lift
up
a shout against thee.
24:051:015 He hath made the earth by his power, he
hath established the
world
by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by
his
understanding.
24:051:016 When he uttereth his voice, there is a
multitude of waters in
the
heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from
the
ends
of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain,
and
bringeth
forth the wind out of his treasures.
