1 Thus says the Lord:
2 "I will dispatch foreigners to Babylon that they may winnow her
3 "Let not him who bends his bow bend it,
4 "They will fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans,
5 For neither Israel nor Judah has been forsaken
6 Flee from the midst of Babylon,
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord,
8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;
9 We applied healing to Babylon, but she was not healed;
10 The Lord has brought about our vindication;
11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers!
12 Lift up a signal 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 All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge;
18 They are worthless, a work of mockery;
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these;
20 He says, "You are My war-club, My weapon of war;
21 "With you I shatter the horse and his rider,
22 And with you I shatter man and woman,
23 And with you I shatter the shepherd and his flock,
24 "But I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes," declares the Lord.
25 "Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain,
26 "They will not take from you even a stone for a corner
27 Lift up a signal in the land,
28 Consecrate the nations against her,
29 So the land quakes and writhes,
30 The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting,
31 One courier runs to meet another,
32 The fords also have been seized,
33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor At the time it is stamped firm; Yet in a little while the time of harvest will come for her."
34 "Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me and crushed me,
35 "May the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,"
36 Therefore thus says the Lord,
37 "Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals,
38 "They will roar together like young lions,
39 "When they become heated up, I will serve them their banquet
40 "I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
41 "How Sheshak has been captured,
42 "The sea has come up over Babylon;
43 "Her cities have become an object of horror,
44 "I will punish Bel in Babylon,
45 "Come forth from her midst, My people,
46 "Now so that your heart does not grow faint,
47 Therefore behold, days are coming
48 "Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
49 Indeed Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel,
50 You who have escaped the sword,
51 We are ashamed because we have heard reproach;
52 "Therefore behold, the days are coming," declares the Lord,
53 "Though Babylon should ascend to the heavens,
54 The sound of an outcry from Babylon,
55 For the Lord is going to destroy Babylon,
56 For the destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon,
57 "I will make her princes and her wise men drunk,
58 Thus says the Lord of hosts,
59 The message which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the grandson of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. (Now Seraiah was quartermaster.)
60 So Jeremiah wrote in a single scroll all the calamity which would come upon Babylon, that is, all these words which have been written concerning Babylon.
61 Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, "As soon as you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words aloud,
62 and say, 'You, O Lord, have promised concerning this place to cut it off, so that there will be nothing dwelling in it, whether man or beast, but it will be a perpetual desolation.'
63 And as soon as you finish reading this scroll, you will tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates,
64 and say, 'Just so shall Babylon sink down and not rise again because of the calamity that I am going to bring upon her; and they will become exhausted.'" Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
