Bible. Jeremiah
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.
24:051:017 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.
24:051:018 They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their
visitation they shall perish.
24:051:019 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.
24:051:020 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;
24:051:021 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;
24:051:022 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;
24:051:023 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.
24:051:024 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.
24:051:025 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.
