24:051:047 Therefore, behold, the days come, that
I will do judgment upon
the
graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall
be
confounded,
and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
24:051:048 Then the heaven and the earth, and all
that is therein, shall
sing
for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto
her from
the
north, saith the lord.
24:051:049 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel
to fall, so at
Babylon
shall fall the slain of all the earth.
24:051:050 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away,
stand not still:
remember
the lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into
your
mind.
24:051:051 We are confounded, because we have heard
reproach: shame hath
covered
our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries
of
the LORD’s house.
24:051:052 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith
the lord, that I will
do
judgment upon her graven images: and through all
her land
the
wounded shall groan.
24:051:053 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven,
and though she
should
fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall
spoilers
come unto her, saith the lord.
24:051:054 A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and
great destruction
from
the land of the Chaldeans:
24:051:055 Because the lord hath spoiled Babylon,
and destroyed out of
her
the great voice; when her waves do roar like great
waters,
a
noise of their voice is uttered:
24:051:056 Because the spoiler is come upon her, even
upon Babylon, and
her
mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken:
for
the lord God of recompences shall surely requite.
24:051:057 And I will make drunk her princes, and
her wise men, her
captains,
and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall
sleep
a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose
name
is the lord of hosts.
24:051:058 Thus saith the lord of hosts; The
broad walls of Babylon shall
be
utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned
with
fire;
and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in
the
fire,
and they shall be weary.
24:051:059 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded
Seraiah the son
of
Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah
the
king
of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign.
And
this Seraiah was a quiet prince.
24:051:060 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil
that should come upon
Babylon,
even all these words that are written against
Babylon.
