Bible. Jeremiah
24:051:042 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the
multitude of the waves thereof.
24:051:043 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.
24:051:044 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.
24:051:045 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every
man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
24:051:046 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.
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.
