Jeremiah 50:21-29
21“Against the land of ▼▼ Or Double Rebellion
Merathaim, go up against it,And against the inhabitants of ▼
▼ Or Punishment
,
cPekod.Slay and ▼
▼ Lit put under the ban
utterly destroy them,” declares the Lord,“And do according to all that I have commanded you.
22“The enoise of battle is in the land,
And great destruction.
23“How the fhammer of the whole earth
Has been cut off and broken!
How Babylon has become
An object of horror among the nations!
24“I gset a snare for you and you were also hcaught, O Babylon,
While you yourself were not aware;
You have been found and also seized
Because you have engaged in iconflict with the Lord.”
25The Lord has opened His armory
And has brought forth the jweapons of His indignation,
For it is a kwork of the Lord ▼
▼ Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord
God of hostsIn the land of the Chaldeans.
26Come to her from the ▼
▼ Lit end
farthest border;nOpen up her barns,
Pile her up like heaps
And ▼
▼ Lit put under the ban
,
putterly destroy her,Let nothing be left to her.
27 qPut all her young bulls to the sword;
Let them rgo down to the slaughter!
Woe be upon them, for their sday has come,
The time of their punishment.
28There is a tsound of fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon,
To declare in Zion the uvengeance of the Lord our God,
Vengeance for His vtemple.
29“Summon ▼
▼ Another reading is archers
many against Babylon,All those who ▼
▼ Lit tread (in order to string)
bend the bow:Encamp against her on every side,
Let there be no escape ▼
▼ Some mss add to her
.Repay her according to her work;
zAccording to all that she has done, so do to her;
For she has become aaarrogant against the Lord,
Against the Holy One of Israel.
