Jeremiah 51 Text (WEB)
  1. Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against those who dwell in Lebkamai, a destroying wind.
  2. I will send to Babylon strangers, who shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her around.
  3. Against [him who] bends let the archer bend his bow, and against [him who] lifts himself up in his coat of mail: and don't spare her young men; utterly destroy all her army.
  4. They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
  5. For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Yahweh of Armies; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
  6. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; don't be cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Yahweh's vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.
  7. Babylon has been a golden cup in Yahweh's hand, who made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
  8. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
  9. We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go everyone into his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
  10. Yahweh has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Yahweh our God.
  11. Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: Yahweh has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of Yahweh, the vengeance of his temple.
  12. Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Yahweh has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
  13. You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.
  14. Yahweh of Armies has sworn by himself, [saying], Surely I will fill you with men, as with the canker worm; and they shall lift up a shout against you.
  15. He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:
  16. when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
  17. Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
  18. They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
  19. The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and [Israel] is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Armies is his name.
  20. You are my battle axe and weapons of war: and with you will I break in pieces the nations; and with you will I destroy kingdoms;
  21. and with you will I break in pieces the horse and his rider;
  22. and with you will I break in pieces the chariot and him who rides therein; and with you will I break in pieces man and woman; and with you will I break in pieces the old man and the youth; and with you will I break in pieces the young man and the virgin;
  23. and with you will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke [of oxen]; and with you will I break in pieces governors and deputies.
  24. I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, says Yahweh.
  25. Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain, says Yahweh, which destroys all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand on you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
  26. They shall not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you shall be desolate for ever, says Yahweh.
  27. Set up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough canker worm.
  28. Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion.
  29. The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
  30. The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might has failed; they are become as women: her dwelling places are set on fire; her bars are broken.
  31. One runner will run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter:
  32. and the passages are seized, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are frightened.
  33. For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
  34. Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me, he has made me an empty vessel, he has, like a monster, swallowed me up, he has filled his maw with my delicacies; he has cast me out.
  35. The violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and, My blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
  36. Therefore thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
  37. Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
  38. They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions' cubs.
  39. When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says Yahweh.
  40. I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
  41. How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
  42. The sea is come up on Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
  43. Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass thereby.
  44. I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more to him: yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
  45. My people, go away from the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of Yahweh.
  46. Don't let your heart faint, neither fear for the news that shall be heard in the land; for news shall come one year, and after that in another year [shall come] news, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
  47. Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
  48. Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers shall come to her from the north, says Yahweh.
  49. As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land.
  50. You who have escaped the sword, go, don't stand still; remember Yahweh from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
  51. We are confounded, because we have heard reproach; confusion has covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Yahweh's house.
  52. Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
  53. Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall destroyers come to her, says Yahweh.
  54. The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
  55. For Yahweh lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is uttered:
  56. for the destroyer is come on her, even on Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for Yahweh is a God of recompenses, he will surely requite.
  57. I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies.
  58. Thus says Yahweh of Armies: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary.
  59. The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief quartermaster.
  60. Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
  61. Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,
  62. and say, Yahweh, you have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor animal, but that it shall be desolate forever.
  63. It shall be, when you have made an end of reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates:
  64. and you shall say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 51 Text (Hebrew)
  1. כה אמר יהוה הנני מעיר על־בבל ואל־ישבי לב קמי רוח משחית׃
  2. ושלחתי לבבל זרים וזרוה ויבקקו את־ארצה כי־היו עליה מסביב ביום רעה׃
  3. אל־ידרך הדרך קשתו ואל־יתעל בסרינו ואל־תחמלו אל־בחריה החרימו כל־צבאה׃
  4. ונפלו חללים בארץ כשדים ומדקרים בחוצותיה׃
  5. כי לא־אלמן ישראל ויהודה מאלהיו מיהוה צבאות כי ארצם מלאה אשם מקדוש ישראל׃
  6. נסו מתוך בבל ומלטו איש נפשו אל־תדמו בעונה כי עת נקמה היא ליהוה גמול הוא משלם לה׃
  7. כוס־זהב בבל ביד־יהוה משכרת כל־הארץ מיינה שתו גוים על־כן יתהללו גוים׃
  8. פתאם נפלה בבל ותשבר הילילו עליה קחו צרי למכאובה אולי תרפא׃
  9. את־בבל ולא נרפתה עזבוה ונלך איש לארצו כי־נגע אל־השמים משפטה ונשא עד־שחקים׃
  10. הוציא יהוה את־צדקתינו באו ונספרה בציון את־מעשה יהוה אלהינו׃
  11. הברו החצים מלאו השלטים העיר יהוה את־רוח מלכי מדי כי־על־בבל מזמתו להשחיתה כי־נקמת יהוה היא נקמת היכלו׃
  12. אל־חומת בבל שאו־נס החזיקו המשמר הקימו שמרים הכינו הארבים כי גם־זםם יהוה גם־עשה את אשר־דבר אל־ישבי בבל׃
  13. על־מים רבים רבת אוצרת בא קצך אמת בצעך׃
  14. נשבע יהוה צבאות בנפשו כי אם־מלאתיך אדם כילק וענו עליך הידד׃ ס
  15. עשה ארץ בכחו מכין תבל בחכמתו ובתבונתו נטה שמים׃
  16. לקול תתו המון מים בשמים ויעל נשאים מקצה־ארץ ברקים למטר עשה ויצא רוח מאצרתיו׃
  17. נבער כל־אדם מדעת הביש כל־צרף מפסל כי שקר נסכו ולא־רוח בם׃
  18. הבל המה מעשה תעתעים בעת פקדתם יאבדו׃
  19. לא־כאלה חלק יעקוב כי־יוצר הכל הוא ושבט נחלתו יהוה צבאות שמו׃ ס
  20. מפץ־אתה לי כלי מלחמה ונפצתי בך גוים והשחתי בך ממלכות׃
  21. ונפצתי בך סוס ורכבו ונפצתי בך רכב ורכבו׃
  22. ונפצתי בך איש ואשה ונפצתי בך זקן ונער ונפצתי בך בחור ובתולה׃
  23. ונפצתי בך רעה ועדרו ונפצתי בך אכר וצמדו ונפצתי בך פחות וסגנים׃
  24. ושלמתי לבבל ולכל יושבי כשדים את כל־רעתם אשר־עשו בציון לעיניכם נאם יהוה׃ ס
  25. הנני אליך הר המשחית נאם־יהוה המשחית את־כל־הארץ ונטיתי את־ידי עליך וגלגלתיך מן־הסלעים ונתתיך להר שרפה׃
  26. ולא־יקחו ממך אבן לפנה ואבן למוסדות כי־שממות עולם תהיה נאם־יהוה׃
  27. שאו־נס בארץ תקעו שופר בגוים קדשו עליה גוים השמיעו עליה ממלכות אררט מני ואשכנז פקדו עליה טפסר העלו־סוס כילק סמר׃
  28. קדשו עליה גוים את־מלכי מדי את־פחותיה ואת־כל־סגניה ואת כל־ארץ ממשלתו׃
  29. ותרעש הארץ ותחל כי קמה על־בבל מחשבות יהוה לשום את־ארץ בבל לשמה מאין יושב׃
  30. חדלו גבורי בבל להלחם ישבו במצדות נשתה גבורתם היו לנשים הציתו משכנתיה נשברו בריחיה׃
  31. רץ לקראת־רץ ירוץ ומגיד לקראת מגיד להגיד למלך בבל כי־נלכדה עירו מקצה׃
  32. והמעברות נתפשו ואת־האגמים שרפו באש ואנשי המלחמה נבהלו׃ ס
  33. כי כה אמר יהוה צבאות אלהי ישראל בת־בבל כגרן עת הדריכה עוד מעט ובאה עת־הקציר לה׃
  34. נבוכדראצר מלך בבל כלי ריק כתנין מלא כרשו מעדני ׃
  35. חמסי ושארי על־בבל תאמר ישבת ציון ודמי אל־ישבי כשדים תאמר ירושלם׃ ס
  36. לכן כה אמר יהוה הנני־רב את־ריבך ונקמתי את־נקמתך והחרבתי את־ימה והבשתי את־מקורה׃
  37. והיתה בבל לגלים מעון־תנים שמה ושרקה מאין יושב׃
  38. יחדו ככפרים ישאגו נערו כגורי אריות׃
  39. בחםם אשית את־משתיהם והשכרתים למען יעלזו וישנו שנת־עולם ולא יקיצו נאם יהוה׃
  40. אורידם ככרים לטבוח כאילים עם־עתודים׃
  41. איך נלכדה ששך ותתפש תהלת כל־הארץ איך היתה לשמה בבל בגוים׃
  42. עלה על־בבל הים בהמון גליו נכסתה׃
  43. היו עריה לשמה ארץ ציה וערבה ארץ לא־ישב בהן כל־איש ולא־יעבר בהן בן־אדם׃
  44. ופקדתי על־בל בבבל והצאתי את־בלעו מפיו ולא־ינהרו אליו עוד גוים גם־חומת בבל נפלה׃
  45. צאו מתוכה עמי ומלטו איש את־נפשו מחרון אף־יהוה׃
  46. ופן־ירך לבבכם ותיראו בשמועה הנשמעת בארץ ובא בשנה השמועה ואחריו בשנה השמועה וחמס בארץ ומשל על־משל׃
  47. לכן הנה ימים באים ופקדתי על־פסילי בבל וכל־ארצה תבוש וכל־חלליה יפלו בתוכה׃
  48. ורננו על־בבל שמים וארץ וכל אשר בהם כי מצפון יבוא־לה השודדים נאם־יהוה׃
  49. גם־בבל לנפל חללי ישראל גם־לבבל נפלו חללי כל־הארץ׃
  50. פלטים מחרב הלכו אל־תעמדו זכרו מרחוק את־יהוה וירושלם תעלה על־לבבכם׃
  51. בשנו כי־שמענו חרפה כסתה כלמה פנינו כי באו זרים על־מקדשי בית יהוה׃ ס
  52. לכן הנה־ימים באים נאם־יהוה ופקדתי על־פסיליה ובכל־ארצה יאנק חלל׃
  53. כי־תעלה בבל השמים וכי תבצר מרום עזה מאתי יבאו שדדים לה נאם־יהוה׃ ס
  54. קול זעקה מבבל ושבר גדול מארץ כשדים׃
  55. כי־שדד יהוה את־בבל ואבד ממנה קול גדול והמו גליהם כמים רבים נתן שאון קולם׃
  56. כי בא עליה על־בבל שודד ונלכדו גבוריה חתתה קשתותם כי אל גמלות יהוה שלם ישלם׃
  57. והשכרתי שריה וחכמיה פחותיה וסגניה וגבוריה וישנו שנת־עולם ולא יקיצו נאם־המלך יהוה צבאות שמו׃ ס
  58. כה־אמר יהוה צבאות חמות בבל הרחבה ערער תתערער ושעריה הגבהים באש יצתו ויגעו עמים בדי־ריק ולאמים בדי־אש ויעפו׃ ס
  59. הדבר אשר־צוה ירמיהו הנביא את־שריה בן־נריה בן־מחסיה בלכתו את־צדקיהו מלך־יהודה בבל בשנת הרבעית למלכו ושריה שר מנוחה׃
  60. ויכתב ירמיהו את כל־הרעה אשר־תבוא אל־בבל אל־ספר אחד את כל־הדברים האלה הכתבים אל־בבל׃
  61. ויאמר ירמיהו אל־שריה כבאך בבל וראית וקראת את כל־הדברים האלה׃
  62. ואמרת יהוה אתה דברת אל־המקום הזה להכריתו לבלתי היות־בו יושב למאדם ועד־בהמה כי־שממות עולם תהיה׃
  63. והיה ככלתך לקרא את־הספר הזה תקשר עליו אבן והשלכתו אל־תוך פרת׃
  64. ואמרת ככה תשקע בבל ולא־תקום מפני הרעה אשר אנכי מביא עליה ויעפו עד־הנה דברי ירמיהו׃ ס
Jeremiah 51 Text (Greek)
  1. ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω εξεγειρω επι βαβυλωνα και επι τους κατοικουντας χαλδαιους ανεμον καυσωνα
  2. και εξαποστελω εις βαβυλωνα υβριστας και καθυβρισουσιν αυτην και λυμανουνται την γην αυτης ουαι επι βαβυλωνα κυκλοθεν εν ημερα κακωσεως
  3. επ' αυτην τεινετω ο τεινων το τοξον αυτου και περιθεσθω ω εστιν οπλα αυτω και μη φεισησθε επι νεανισκους αυτης και αφανισατε πασαν την δυναμιν
  4. και πεσουνται τραυματιαι εν γη χαλδαιων και κατακεκεντημενοι εξωθεν
  5. διοτι ουκ εχηρευσεν ισραηλ και ιουδας απο θεου αυτων απο κυριου παντοκρατορος οτι η γη αυτων επλησθη αδικιας απο των αγιων
  6. φευγετε εκ μεσου βαβυλωνος και ανασωζετε εκαστος την ψυχην αυτου και μη απορριφητε εν τη αδικια αυτης οτι καιρος εκδικησεως αυτης εστιν παρα κυριου ανταποδομα αυτος ανταποδιδωσιν
  7. ποτηριον χρυσουν βαβυλων εν χειρι κυριου μεθυσκον πασαν την γην απο του οινου αυτης επιοσαν εθνη δια τουτο
  8. και αφνω επεσεν βαβυλων και συνετριβη θρηνειτε αυτην λαβετε ρητινην τη διαφθορα αυτης ει πως
  9. ιατρευσαμεν την βαβυλωνα και ουκ ιαθη εγκαταλιπωμεν αυτην και απελθωμεν εκαστος εις την γην αυτου οτι ηγγισεν εις ουρανον το κριμα αυτης εξηρεν εως των
  10. εξηνεγκεν κυριος το κριμα αυτου δευτε και αναγγειλωμεν εις σιων τα εργα κυριου θεου
  11. παρασκευαζετε τα τοξευματα πληρουτε τας φαρετρας ηγειρεν κυριος το πνευμα βασιλεως μηδων οτι εις βαβυλωνα η οργη αυτου του εξολεθρευσαι αυτην οτι εκδικησις κυριου εστιν εκδικησις λαου αυτου
  12. επι τειχεων βαβυλωνος αρατε σημειον επιστησατε φαρετρας εγειρατε φυλακας ετοιμασατε οπλα οτι ενεχειρησεν και ποιησει κυριος α ελαλησεν επι τους κατοικουντας
  13. κατασκηνουντας εφ' υδασι πολλοις και επι πληθει θησαυρων αυτης ηκει το περας σου αληθως εις τα σπλαγχα
  14. οτι ωμοσεν κυριος κατα του βραχιονος αυτου διοτι πληρωσω σε ανθρωπων ωσει ακριδων και φθεγξονται επι σε οι
  15. ποιων γην εν τη ισχυι αυτου ετοιμαζων οικουμενην εν τη σοφια αυτου εν τη συνεσει αυτου εξετεινεν τον
  16. εις φωνην εθετο ηχος υδατος εν τω ουρανω και ανηγαγεν νεφελας απ' εσχατου της γης αστραπας εις υετον εποιησεν και εξηγαγεν φως εκ θησαυρων
  17. εμωρανθη πας ανθρωπος απο γνωσεως κατησχυνθη πας χρυσοχοος απο των γλυπτων αυτου οτι ψευδη εχωνευσαν ουκ εστιν πνευμα εν
  18. ματαια εστιν εργα μεμωκημενα εν καιρω επισκεψεως αυτων
  19. ου τοιαυτη μερις τω ιακωβ οτι ο πλασας τα παντα αυτος εστιν κληρονομια αυτου κυριος ονομα
  20. διασκορπιζεις συ μοι σκευη πολεμου και διασκορπιω εν σοι εθνη και εξαρω εκ σου
  21. και διασκορπιω εν σοι ιππον και αναβατην αυτου και διασκορπιω εν σοι αρματα και αναβατας
  22. και διασκορπιω εν σοι νεανισκον και παρθενον και διασκορπιω εν σοι ανδρα και
  23. και διασκορπιω εν σοι ποιμενα και το ποιμνιον αυτου και διασκορπιω εν σοι γεωργον και το γεωργιον αυτου και διασκορπιω εν σοι ηγεμονας και στρατηγους
  24. και ανταποδωσω τη βαβυλωνι και πασι τοις κατοικουσι χαλδαιοις πασας τας κακιας αυτων ας εποιησαν επι σιων κατ' οφθαλμους υμων λεγει
  25. ιδου εγω προς σε το ορος το διεφθαρμενον το διαφθειρον πασαν την γην και εκτενω την χειρα μου επι σε και κατακυλιω σε απο των πετρων και δωσω σε ως ορος
  26. και ου μη λαβωσιν απο σου λιθον εις γωνιαν και λιθον εις θεμελιον οτι εις αφανισμον εις τον αιωνα εση λεγει
  27. αρατε σημειον επι της γης σαλπισατε εν εθνεσιν σαλπιγγι αγιασατε επ' αυτην εθνη παραγγειλατε επ' αυτην βασιλειαις αραρατ παρ' εμου και τοις ασχαναζαιοις επιστησατε επ' αυτην βελοστασεις αναβιβασατε επ' αυτην ιππον ως ακριδων
  28. αγιασατε επ' αυτην εθνη τον βασιλεα των μηδων και πασης της γης τους ηγουμενους αυτου και παντας τους στρατηγους
  29. εσεισθη η γη και επονεσεν διοτι εξανεστη επι βαβυλωνα λογισμος κυριου του θειναι την γην βαβυλωνος εις αφανισμον και μη κατοικεισθαι
  30. εξελιπεν μαχητης βαβυλωνος του πολεμειν καθησονται εκει εν περιοχη εθραυσθη η δυναστεια αυτων εγενηθησαν ωσει γυναικες ενεπυρισθη τα σκηνωματα αυτης συνετριβησαν οι μοχλοι
  31. διωκων εις απαντησιν διωκοντος διωξεται και αναγγελλων εις απαντησιν αναγγελλοντος του αναγγειλαι τω βασιλει βαβυλωνος οτι εαλωκεν η πολις
  32. απ' εσχατου των διαβασεων αυτου ελημφθησαν και τα συστεματα αυτων ενεπρησαν εν πυρι και ανδρες αυτου οι πολεμισται
  33. διοτι ταδε λεγει κυριος οικοι βασιλεως βαβυλωνος ως αλων ωριμος αλοηθησονται ετι μικρον και ηξει ο αμητος
  34. κατεφαγεν με εμερισατο με κατελαβεν με σκευος λεπτον ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος κατεπιεν με ως δρακων επλησεν την κοιλιαν αυτου απο της τρυφης μου εξωσεν
  35. οι μοχθοι μου και αι ταλαιπωριαι μου εις βαβυλωνα ερει κατοικουσα σιων και το αιμα μου επι τους κατοικουντας χαλδαιους ερει
  36. δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω κρινω την αντιδικον σου και εκδικησω την εκδικησιν σου και ερημωσω την θαλασσαν αυτης και ξηρανω την πηγην
  37. και εσται βαβυλων εις αφανισμον και ου
  38. αμα ως λεοντες εξηγερθησαν και ως σκυμνοι
  39. εν τη θερμασια αυτων δωσω ποτημα αυτοις και μεθυσω αυτους οπως καρωθωσιν και υπνωσωσιν υπνον αιωνιον και ου μη εγερθωσι λεγει
  40. καταβιβασω αυτους ως αρνας εις σφαγην και ως κριους μετ'
  41. πως εαλω και εθηρευθη το καυχημα πασης της γης πως εγενετο βαβυλων εις αφανισμον εν τοις
  42. ανεβη επι βαβυλωνα η θαλασσα εν ηχω κυματων αυτης και
  43. εγενηθησαν αι πολεις αυτης γη ανυδρος και αβατος ου κατοικησει εν αυτη ουδε εις ουδε μη καταλυση εν αυτη υιος
  44. και εκδικησω επι βαβυλωνα και εξοισω α κατεπιεν εκ του στοματος αυτης και ου μη συναχθωσιν προς αυτην ετι τα

  49. και εν βαβυλωνι πεσουνται τραυματιαι πασης της
  50. ανασωζομενοι εκ γης πορευεσθε και μη ιστασθε οι μακροθεν μνησθητε του κυριου και ιερουσαλημ αναβητω επι την καρδιαν
  51. ησχυνθημεν οτι ηκουσαμεν ονειδισμον ημων κατεκαλυψεν ατιμια το προσωπον ημων εισηλθον αλλογενεις εις τα αγια ημων εις οικον
  52. δια τουτο ιδου ημεραι ερχονται λεγει κυριος και εκδικησω επι τα γλυπτα αυτης και εν παση τη γη αυτης πεσουνται
  53. οτι εαν αναβη βαβυλων ως ο ουρανος και οτι εαν οχυρωση υψος ισχυος αυτης παρ' εμου ηξουσιν εξολεθρευοντες αυτην λεγει
  54. φωνη κραυγης εν βαβυλωνι και συντριβη μεγαλη εν γη
  55. οτι εξωλεθρευσεν κυριος την βαβυλωνα και απωλεσεν απ' αυτης φωνην μεγαλην ηχουσαν ως υδατα πολλα εδωκεν εις ολεθρον φωνην

Jeremiah 51 Text (Latin)
  1. Hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego suscitabo super Babylonem et super habitatores ejus, qui cor suum levaverunt contra me, quasi ventum pestilentem :
  2. et mittam in Babylonem ventilatores, et ventilabunt eam et demolientur terram ejus, quoniam venerunt super eam undique in die afflictionis ejus.
  3. Non tendat qui tendit arcum suum, et non ascendat loricatus : nolite parcere juvenibus ejus : interficite omnem militiam ejus.
  4. Et cadent interfecti in terra Chaldæorum, et vulnerati in regionibus ejus.
  5. Quoniam non fuit viduatus Israël et Juda a Deo suo, Domino exercituum, terra autem eorum repleta est delicto a Sancto Israël.
  6. Fugite de medio Babylonis, et salvet unusquisque animam suam : nolite tacere super iniquitatem ejus, quoniam tempus ultionis est a Domino, vicissitudinem ipse retribuet ei.
  7. Calix aureus Babylon in manu Domini, inebrians omnem terram : de vino ejus biberunt gentes, et ideo commotæ sunt.
  8. Subito cecidit Babylon, et contrita est. Ululate super eam : tollite resinam ad dolorem ejus, si forte sanetur.
  9. Curavimus Babylonem, et non est sanata : derelinquamus eam, et eamus unusquisque in terram suam, quoniam pervenit usque ad cælos judicium ejus, et elevatum est usque ad nubes.
  10. Protulit Dominus justitias nostras : venite, et narremus in Sion opus Domini Dei nostri.
  11. Acuite sagittas, implete pharetras : suscitavit Dominus spiritum regum Medorum : et contra Babylonem mens ejus est ut perdat eam, quoniam ultio Domini est, ultio templi sui.
  12. Super muros Babylonis levate signum, augete custodiam, levate custodes, præparate insidias, quia cogitavit Dominus, et fecit quæcumque locutus est contra habitatores Babylonis.
  13. Quæ habitas super aquas multas, locuples in thesauris, venit finis tuus, pedalis præcisionis tuæ.
  14. Juravit Dominus exercituum per animam suam : Quoniam replebo te hominibus quasi brucho, et super te celeuma cantabitur.
  15. Qui fecit terram in fortitudine sua, præparavit orbem in sapientia sua, et prudentia sua extendit cælos.
  16. Dante eo vocem, multiplicantur aquæ in cælo : qui levat nubes ab extremo terræ, fulgura in pluviam fecit, et produxit ventum de thesauris suis.
  17. Stultus factus est omnis homo a scientia ; confusus est omnis conflator in sculptili, quia mendax est conflatio eorum, nec est spiritus in eis.
  18. Vana sunt opera, et risu digna : in tempore visitationis suæ peribunt.
  19. Non sicut hæc, pars Jacob, quia qui fecit omnia ipse est : et Israël sceptrum hæreditatis ejus : Dominus exercituum nomen ejus.
  20. Collidis tu mihi vasa belli : et ego collidam in te gentes, et disperdam in te regna :
  21. et collidam in te equum et equitem ejus : et collidam in te currum et ascensorem ejus :
  22. et collidam in te virum et mulierem : et collidam in te senem et puerum : et collidam in te juvenem et virginem :
  23. et collidam in te pastorem et gregem ejus : et collidam in te agricolam et jugales ejus : et collidam in te duces et magistratus :
  24. et reddam Babyloni, et cunctis habitatoribus Chaldææ, omne malum suum, quod fecerunt in Sion, in oculis vestris, ait Dominus.
  25. Ecce ego ad te, mons pestifer, ait Dominus, qui corrumpis universam terram : et extendam manum meam super te, et evolvam te de petris, et dabo te in montem combustionis :
  26. et non tollent de te lapidem in angulum, et lapidem in fundamenta : sed perditus in æternum eris, ait Dominus.
  27. Levate signum in terra, clangite buccina in gentibus, sanctificate super eam gentes, annuntiate contra illam regibus Ararat, Menni, et Ascenez : numerate contra eam Taphsar, adducite equum quasi bruchum aculeatum.
  28. Sanctificate contra eam gentes, reges Mediæ, duces ejus, et universos magistratus ejus, cunctamque terram potestatis ejus.
  29. Et commovebitur terra et conturbabitur, quia evigilabit contra Babylonem cogitatio Domini, ut ponat terram Babylonis desertam et inhabitabilem.
  30. Cessaverunt fortes Babylonis a prælio, habitaverunt in præsidiis : devoratum est robur eorum, et facti sunt quasi mulieres : incensa sunt tabernacula ejus, contriti sunt vectes ejus.
  31. Currens obviam currenti veniet, et nuntius obvius nuntianti, ut annuntiet regi Babylonis quia capta est civitas ejus a summo usque ad summum.
  32. Et vada præoccupata sunt, et paludes incensæ sunt igni, et viri bellatores conturbati sunt.
  33. Quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Filia Babylonis quasi area, tempus trituræ ejus : adhuc modicum, et veniet tempus messionis ejus.
  34. Comedit me, devoravit me Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis : reddidit me quasi vas inane : absorbuit me quasi draco, replevit ventrem suum teneritudine mea, et ejecit me.
  35. Iniquitas adversum me et caro mea super Babylonem, dicit habitatio Sion : et sanguis meus super habitatores Chaldææ, dicit Jerusalem.
  36. Propterea hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego judicabo causam tuam, et ulciscar ultionem tuam : et desertum faciam mare ejus, et siccabo venam ejus.
  37. Et erit Babylon in tumulos, habitatio draconum, stupor et sibilus, eo quod non sit habitator.
  38. Simul ut leones rugient, excutient comas veluti catuli leonum.
  39. In calore eorum ponam potus eorum, et inebriabo eos, ut sopiantur, et dormiant somnum sempiternum, et non consurgant, dicit Dominus.
  40. Deducam eos quasi agnos ad victimam, et quasi arietes cum hædis.
  41. Quomodo capta est Sesach, et comprehensa est inclyta universæ terræ ! quomodo facta est in stuporem Babylon inter gentes !
  42. Ascendit super Babylonem mare, multitudine fluctuum ejus operta est.
  43. Factæ sunt civitates ejus in stuporem, terra inhabitabilis et deserta, terra in qua nullus habitet, nec transeat per eam filius hominis.
  44. Et visitabo super Bel in Babylone, et ejiciam quod absorbuerat de ore ejus : et non confluent ad eum ultra gentes, siquidem et murus Babylonis corruet.
  45. Egredimini de medio ejus, populus meus, ut salvet unusquisque animam suam ab ira furoris Domini,
  46. et ne forte mollescat cor vestrum, et timeatis auditum qui audietur in terra : et veniet in anno auditio, et post hunc annum auditio, et iniquitas in terra, et dominator super dominatorem.
  47. Propterea ecce dies veniunt, et visitabo super sculptilia Babylonis, et omnis terra ejus confundetur, et universi interfecti ejus cadent in medio ejus.
  48. Et laudabunt super Babylonem cæli et terra, et omnia quæ in eis sunt, quia ab aquilone venient ei prædones, ait Dominus.
  49. Et quomodo fecit Babylon, ut caderent occisi in Israël, sic de Babylone cadent occisi in universa terra.
  50. Qui fugistis gladium, venite, nolite stare : recordamini procul Domini, et Jerusalem ascendat super cor vestrum.
  51. Confusi sumus, quoniam audivimus opprobrium : operuit ignominia facies nostras, quia venerunt alieni super sanctificationem domus Domini.
  52. Propterea ecce dies veniunt, ait Dominus, et visitabo super sculptilia ejus, et in omni terra ejus mugiet vulneratus.
  53. Si ascenderit Babylon in cælum, et firmaverit in excelso robur suum, a me venient vastatores ejus, ait Dominus.
  54. Vox clamoris de Babylone, et contritio magna de terra Chaldæorum :
  55. quoniam vastavit Dominus Babylonem, et perdidit ex ea vocem magnam : et sonabunt fluctus eorum quasi aquæ multæ, dedit sonitum vox eorum,
  56. quia venit super eam, id est super Babylonem, prædo, et apprehensi sunt fortes ejus, et emarcuit arcus eorum, quia fortis ultor Dominus reddens retribuet.
  57. Et inebriabo principes ejus, et sapientes ejus, et duces ejus, et magistratus ejus, et fortes ejus : et dormient somnum sempiternum, et non expergiscentur, ait rex (Dominus exercituum nomen ejus).
  58. Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Murus Babylonis ille latissimus suffossione suffodietur, et portæ ejus excelsæ igni comburentur, et labores populorum ad nihilum, et gentium in ignem erunt, et disperibunt.
  59. Verbum quod præcepit Jeremias propheta Saraiæ filio Neriæ filii Maasiæ, cum pergeret cum Sedecia rege in Babylonem, in anno quarto regni ejus : Saraias autem erat princeps prophetiæ.
  60. Et scripsit Jeremias omne malum, quod venturum erat super Babylonem, in libro uno, omnia verba hæc quæ scripta sunt contra Babylonem.
  61. Et dixit Jeremias ad Saraiam : Cum veneris in Babylonem, et videris, et legeris omnia verba hæc,
  62. dices : Domine, tu locutus es contra locum istum, ut disperderes eum, ne sit qui in eo habitet, ab homine usque ad pecus, et ut sit perpetua solitudo.
  63. Cumque compleveris legere librum istum, ligabis ad eum lapidem, et projicies illum in medium Euphraten,
  64. et dices : Sic submergetur Babylon, et non consurget a facie afflictionis quam ego adduco super eam, et dissolvetur. Hucusque verba Jeremiæ.
Jeremiah 51 Text (KJV)
  1. Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;
  2. And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
  3. 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.
  4. Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed.
  9. 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.
  10. The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
  18. They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
  19. The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name.
  20. Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
  21. And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
  22. With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
  23. I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
  24. And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.
  25. Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
  26. And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.
  27. Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.
  28. Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
  29. And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
  30. The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.
  31. One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,
  32. And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
  33. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
  34. Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
  35. The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
  36. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
  37. And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
  38. They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lion's whelps.
  39. In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.
  40. I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
  41. How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
  42. The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
  43. Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
  44. And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
  45. My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
  46. And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
  47. 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.
  48. 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.
  49. As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
  50. Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
  51. 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.
  52. 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.
  53. 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.
  54. A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
  55. 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:
  56. 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.
  57. 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.
  58. 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.
  59. 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.
  60. So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
  61. And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
  62. Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
  63. And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
  64. And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
