24:050:029 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend
the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape:
recompense her according to her work; according to all that
she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against
the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
24:050:030 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her
men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD.
24:050:031 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord
GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit
thee.
24:050:032 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall
raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it
shall devour all round about him.
24:050:033 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the
children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took
them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
24:050:034 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he
shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to
the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
24:050:035 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the
inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her
wise men.
24:050:036 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is
upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
24:050:037 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and
upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and
they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and
they shall be robbed.
24:050:038 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for
it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their
idols.
24:050:039 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts
of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell
therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither
shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
24:050:040 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities
thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither
shall any son of man dwell therein.
24:050:041 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great
nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of
the earth.
24:050:042 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and
will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and
they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a
man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
