1 Thus says the Lord:
2 and I will send to Babylon winnowers,
3 Let not the archer bend his bow,
4 They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,
5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken
6 "Flee from the midst of Babylon;
7 Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand,
8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;
9 We would have healed Babylon,
10 The Lord has brought about our vindication;
11 "Sharpen the arrows!
12 "Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon;
13 O you who dwell by many waters,
14 The Lord of hosts has sworn by himself:
15 "It is he who made the earth by his power,
16 When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
17 Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
18 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
19 Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob,
20 "You are my hammer and weapon of war:
21 with you I break in pieces the horse and his rider;
22 with you I break in pieces man and woman;
23 with you I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock;
24 "I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea before your very eyes for all the evil that they have done in Zion, declares the Lord.
25 "Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain,
26 No stone shall be taken from you for a corner
27 "Set up a standard on the earth;
28 Prepare the nations for war against her,
29 The land trembles and writhes in pain,
30 The warriors of Babylon have ceased fighting;
31 One runner runs to meet another,
32 the fords have been seized,
33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
34 "Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me;
35 The violence done to me and to my kinsmen be upon Babylon,"
36 Therefore thus says the Lord:
37 and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins,
38 "They shall roar together like lions;
39 While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
41 "How Babylon is taken,
42 The sea has come up on Babylon;
43 Her cities have become a horror,
44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon,
45 "Go out of the midst of her, my people!
46 Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful
47 "Therefore, behold, the days are coming
48 Then the heavens and the earth,
49 Babylon must fall for the slain of Israel,
50 "You who have escaped from the sword,
51 'We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach;
52 "Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven,
54 "A voice! A cry from Babylon!
55 For the Lord is laying Babylon waste
56 for a destroyer has come upon her,
57 I will make drunk her officials and her wise men,
58 "Thus says the Lord of hosts:
59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. Seraiah was the quartermaster.
60 Jeremiah wrote in a book all the disaster that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah: "When you come to Babylon, see that you read all these words,
62 and say, 'O Lord, you have said concerning this place that you will cut it off, so that nothing shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, and it shall be desolate forever.'
63 When you finish reading this book, tie a stone to it and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates,
64 and say, 'Thus shall Babylon sink, to rise no more, because of the disaster that I am bringing upon her, and they shall become exhausted.'"
