And Babylon ^H894, the beauty ^H6643 of kingdoms ^H4467, the glory ^H8597 of the Chaldeans’ ^H3778 pride ^H1347,

Will be as when God ^H430 overthrew ^H4114 Sodom ^H5467 and Gomorrah ^H6017.

“How ^H349 the oppressor ^H5065 has ceased ^H7673,

And how the [fn]onslaught ^H4062 has ceased ^H7673!

“I will rise ^H6965 up ^H6965 against ^H5921 them,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635, “and eliminate ^H3772 from Babylon ^H894 name ^H8034 and survivors ^H7605, offspring ^H5209 and descendants ^H5220,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

“Now behold ^H2009, here ^H2088 comes ^H935 a troop ^H376 of riders ^H7393, horsemen ^H6571 in pairs ^H6776.”

And one said ^H559, “Fallen ^H5307, fallen ^H5307 is Babylon ^H894;

And all ^H3605 the images ^H6456 of her gods ^H430 [fn]are shattered ^H7665 on the ground ^H776.”

At that time ^H6256 Merodach-baladan ^H4757 son ^H1121 of Baladan ^H1081, king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894, sent ^H7971 letters ^H5612 and a gift ^H4503 to Hezekiah ^H2396, for he heard ^H8085 that he had been ^H2470 sick ^H2470 and had recovered ^H2388.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 your Redeemer ^H1350, the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478 says ^H559:

“For your sake ^H4616 I have sent ^H7971 to Babylon ^H894,

And will bring ^H3381 them all ^H3605 down ^H3381 as fugitives ^H1281,

[fn]Even the Chaldeans ^H3778, into the ships ^H591 [fn]over which they rejoice ^H7440.

“Come ^H3381 down ^H3381 and sit ^H3427 in the dust ^H6083,

Virgin ^H1330 daughter ^H1323 of Babylon ^H894;

Sit ^H3427 on the ground ^H776 without ^H369 a throne ^H3678,

Daughter ^H1323 of the Chaldeans ^H3778!

For you will no ^H3808 longer ^H3254 be called ^H7121 tender ^H7390 and delicate ^H6028.

“Assemble ^H6908, all ^H3605 of you, and listen ^H8085!

Who ^H4310 among them has declared ^H5046 these ^H428 things ^H428?

The LORD ^H3068 loves ^H157 him; he will carry ^H6213 out ^H6213 His good ^H2656 pleasure ^H2656 against Babylon ^H894,

And His arm ^H2220 will be against the Chaldeans ^H3778.

Go ^H3318 out ^H3318 from Babylon ^H894! Flee ^H1272 from the Chaldeans ^H3778!

Declare ^H5046 with the sound ^H6963 of joyful ^H7440 shouting ^H7440, proclaim ^H8085 this ^H2088,

Send ^H3318 it out ^H3318 to the end ^H7097 of the earth ^H776;

Say ^H559, “The LORD ^H3068 has redeemed ^H1350 His servant ^H5650 Jacob ^H3290.”

After ^H310 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 had taken ^H1540 into ^H1540 exile ^H1540 Jeconiah ^H3204 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiakim ^H3079, king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, and the officials ^H8269 of Judah ^H3063 with the craftsmen ^H2796 and metalworkers ^H4525 from Jerusalem ^H3389 and had brought ^H935 them to Babylon ^H894, the LORD ^H3068 showed ^H7200 me: behold ^H2009, two ^H8147 baskets ^H1731 of figs ^H8384 placed ^H5975 before ^H6440 the temple ^H1964 of the LORD ^H3068.

The word ^H1697 that came ^H1961 to Jeremiah ^H3414 concerning ^H5921 all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 of Judah ^H3063, in the fourth ^H7243 year ^H8141 of Jehoiakim ^H3079 the son ^H1121 of Josiah ^H2977, king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 (that was the first ^H7224 year ^H8141 of Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894),

‘And it will be that the nation ^H1471 or the kingdom ^H4467 which ^H834 will not serve ^H5647 him, Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894, and will not put ^H5414 its neck ^H6677 under the yoke ^H5923 of the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894, I will punish ^H6485 that nation ^H1471 with the sword ^H2719, with famine ^H7458, and with plague ^H1698,’ declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068, ‘until ^H5704 I have eliminated ^H8552 [fn]it by his hand ^H3027.

Then I spoke ^H1696 to the priests ^H3548 and to all ^H3605 this ^H2088 people ^H5971, saying ^H559: “This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559: ‘Do not listen ^H8085 to the words ^H1697 of your prophets ^H5030 who prophesy ^H5012 to you, saying ^H559, “Behold ^H2009, the vessels ^H3627 of the LORD’S ^H3068 house ^H1004 will now ^H6258 shortly ^H4120 be brought ^H7725 back ^H7725 from Babylon ^H894”; for they are prophesying ^H5012 a lie ^H8267 to you.

Now these ^H428 are the words ^H1697 of the letter ^H5612 which ^H834 Jeremiah ^H3414 the prophet ^H5030 sent ^H7971 from Jerusalem ^H3389 to the rest ^H3499 of the elders ^H2205 of the exile ^H1473, the priests ^H3548, the prophets ^H5030, and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 whom ^H834 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 had taken ^H1540 into ^H1540 exile ^H1473 from Jerusalem ^H3389 to Babylon ^H894.

“For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559: ‘When ^H3588 seventy ^H7657 years ^H8141 have been ^H4390 completed ^H4390 for Babylon ^H894, I will visit ^H6485 you and fulfill ^H6965 My good ^H2896 word ^H1697 to you, to bring ^H7725 you back ^H7725 to this ^H2088 place ^H4725.

“Because ^H3588 you have said ^H559, ‘The LORD ^H3068 has raised ^H6965 up ^H6965 prophets ^H5030 for us in Babylon ^H894’—
