Bible. Jeremiah
24:050:043 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his
hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of
a woman in travail.
24:050:044 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of
Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them
suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I
may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint
me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before
me?
24:050:045 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken
against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed
against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the
flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their
habitation desolate with them.
24:050:046 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and
the cry is heard among the nations.
24:051:001 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;
24:051:002 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.
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.
