00:00.000 --> 00:01.100
Chapter 50.

00:02.000 --> 00:05.380
The word that the Lord spake against
Babylon, and against the land of the

00:05.380 --> 00:06.820
Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

00:07.840 --> 00:12.960
Declare ye among the nations, and publish,
and set up a standard, publish and conceal

00:12.960 --> 00:13.340
not.

00:14.040 --> 00:20.860
Say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded,
Merodach is broken in pieces, her idols

00:20.860 --> 00:23.500
are confounded, her images are broken in
pieces.

00:24.160 --> 00:27.980
For out of the north there cometh up a
nation against her, which shall make her

00:27.980 --> 00:30.980
land desolate, and none shall dwell
therein.

00:31.500 --> 00:35.040
They shall remove, they shall depart,
both man and beast.

00:36.080 --> 00:39.500
In those days and in that time,
saith the Lord, the children of Israel

00:39.500 --> 00:43.240
shall come, they and the children of Judah
together, going and weeping.

00:44.160 --> 00:46.020
They shall go and seek the Lord their God.

00:46.880 --> 00:50.060
They shall ask the way to Zion,
with their faces to the wards,

00:50.240 --> 00:55.120
saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to
the Lord in a perpetual covenant that

00:55.120 --> 00:55.960
shall not be forgotten.

00:56.840 --> 01:00.400
My people hath been lost cheap,
the shepherds have caused them to go

01:00.400 --> 01:04.760
astray, they have turned them away on the
mountains, they have gone from mountain to

01:04.760 --> 01:07.200
hill, they have forgotten their resting
place.

01:08.200 --> 01:12.980
All that found them have devoured them,
and their adversaries said, We offend not,

01:13.420 --> 01:17.760
because they have sinned against the Lord,
the habitation of justice, even the Lord,

01:17.880 --> 01:18.840
the hope of their fathers.

01:19.860 --> 01:23.040
Remove out the midst of Babylon,
and go forth out of the land of the

01:23.040 --> 01:25.860
Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before
the flocks.

01:26.760 --> 01:30.900
For lo, I will raise and cause to come up
against Babylon an assembly of great

01:30.900 --> 01:34.360
nations from the north country,
and they shall set themselves in array

01:34.360 --> 01:34.960
against her.

01:35.660 --> 01:39.200
From thence she shall be taken,
their arrows shall be as of a mighty

01:39.200 --> 01:44.140
expert man, none shall return in vain,
and Chaldea shall be a spoil.

01:45.000 --> 01:47.800
All that spoil her shall be satisfied,
saith the Lord.

01:48.700 --> 01:52.520
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced,
O ye destroyers of mine heritage,

01:52.920 --> 01:56.740
because ye are grown fat as the heifer at
grass, and bellow as bulls.

01:57.740 --> 02:01.140
Your mother shall be sore confounded,
she that bear you shall be ashamed.

02:01.880 --> 02:05.420
Behold, the hindermost of the nations
shall be a wilderness, a dry land,

02:05.500 --> 02:05.920
and a desert.

02:06.960 --> 02:10.780
Because of the wrath of the Lord,
it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be

02:10.780 --> 02:11.500
wholly desolate.

02:12.280 --> 02:16.140
Every one that goeth by Babylon shall be
astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

02:16.960 --> 02:20.940
Put yourselves in array against Babylon
round about, all ye that bend the bow,

02:21.260 --> 02:22.960
shoot at her, spare no arrows.

02:23.780 --> 02:25.220
For she hath sinned against the Lord.

02:26.000 --> 02:30.000
Shout against her round about,
she hath given her hand, her foundations

02:30.000 --> 02:31.980
are fallen, her walls are thrown down.

02:32.780 --> 02:36.940
For it is the vengeance of the Lord,
take vengeance upon her, as she hath done,

02:37.360 --> 02:38.000
do unto her.

02:38.680 --> 02:41.900
Cut off the sower from Babylon,
and him that handleth the sickle in the

02:41.900 --> 02:42.660
time of harvest.

02:43.160 --> 02:46.340
For fear of the oppressing sword,
they shall turn every one to his people,

02:46.740 --> 02:48.740
and they shall flee every one to his own
land.

02:49.340 --> 02:52.460
Israel is a scattered sheep, the lions
have driven him away.

02:53.100 --> 02:57.140
First the king of Assyria hath devoured
him, and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of

02:57.140 --> 02:59.020
Babylon hath broken his bones.

03:00.260 --> 03:05.020
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, Behold, I will punish

03:05.020 --> 03:08.600
the king of Babylon and his land,
as I have punished the king of Assyria.

03:09.460 --> 03:13.580
And I will bring Israel again to his
habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel

03:13.580 --> 03:18.540
and Bashan, and his soul shall be
satisfied upon Mount Ephraim and Gilead.

03:19.200 --> 03:22.600
In those days and in that time,
saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel

03:22.600 --> 03:27.080
shall be sought for, and there shall be
none, and the sins of Judah, and they

03:27.080 --> 03:30.780
shall not be found, for I will pardon them
whom I reserve.

03:31.840 --> 03:35.580
Go up against the land of Meritheum,
even against it, and against the

03:35.580 --> 03:39.700
inhabitants of Pechod, waste and utterly
destroy after them, saith the Lord,

03:40.280 --> 03:42.300
and do according to all that I have
commanded thee.

03:43.180 --> 03:45.560
A sound of battle is in the land,
and of great destruction.

03:46.320 --> 03:49.100
How is the hammer of the whole earth cut
asunder and broken?

03:49.740 --> 03:52.220
How is Babylon become a desolation among
the nations?

03:53.380 --> 03:58.100
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art
also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not

03:58.100 --> 03:58.460
aware.

03:59.420 --> 04:03.280
Thou art found, and also caught,
because thou hast striven against the

04:03.280 --> 04:03.540
Lord.

04:04.440 --> 04:08.420
The Lord hath opened his armory,
and hath brought forth the weapons of his

04:08.420 --> 04:09.200
indignation.

04:09.840 --> 04:13.420
For this is the work of the Lord God of
hosts, in the land of the Chaldeans.

04:14.240 --> 04:18.860
Come against her from the utmost border,
open her storehouses, cast her up as

04:18.860 --> 04:20.260
heaps, and destroy her utterly.

04:20.840 --> 04:22.300
Let nothing of her be left.

04:23.180 --> 04:24.280
Slay all her bullocks.

04:25.000 --> 04:26.340
Let them go down to the slaughter.

04:26.940 --> 04:30.520
Woe unto them, for their day is come,
the time of their visitation.

04:31.600 --> 04:35.020
The voice of them that flee and escape out
of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion

04:35.020 --> 04:37.860
the vengeance of the Lord our God,
the vengeance of his temple.

04:39.100 --> 04:40.700
Call together the archers against Babylon.

04:41.320 --> 04:43.760
All ye that bend the bow, camp against it
round about.

04:44.620 --> 04:45.680
Let none thereof escape.

04:46.380 --> 04:49.480
Recompense her according to her work,
according to all that she hath done.

04:49.940 --> 04:54.240
Do unto her, for she hath been proud
against the Lord, against the Holy One of

04:54.240 --> 04:54.560
Israel.

04:55.380 --> 04:59.200
Therefore shall her young men fall in the
streets, and all her men of war shall be

04:59.200 --> 05:00.820
cut off in that day, saith the Lord.

05:01.800 --> 05:06.720
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most
proud, saith the Lord God of hosts.

05:07.320 --> 05:09.920
For thy day is come, the time that I will
visit thee.

05:10.760 --> 05:14.080
And the most proud shall stumble and fall,
and none shall raise him up.

05:14.500 --> 05:18.820
And I will kindle a fire in his cities,
and it shall devour all round about him.

05:19.920 --> 05:21.080
Thus saith the Lord of hosts.

05:21.720 --> 05:24.500
The children of Israel and the children of
Judah were oppressed together,

05:25.220 --> 05:27.260
and all that took them captives held them
fast.

05:28.000 --> 05:29.120
They refused to let them go.

05:30.000 --> 05:30.980
Their Redeemer is strong.

05:31.400 --> 05:32.700
The Lord of hosts is his name.

05:33.180 --> 05:36.640
He shall truly plead their cause,
that he may give rest to the land,

05:36.940 --> 05:38.580
and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

05:39.060 --> 05:42.420
A sword is upon the Chaldeans,
saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants

05:42.420 --> 05:45.240
of Babylon, and upon her princes,
and upon her wise men.

05:45.900 --> 05:48.660
A sword is upon the liars, and they shall
dote.

05:49.220 --> 05:52.580
A sword is upon her mighty men,
and they shall be dismayed.

05:53.360 --> 05:56.840
A sword is upon their horses, and upon
their chariots, and upon all the mingled

05:56.840 --> 05:59.940
people that are in the midst of her,
and they shall become as women.

06:00.620 --> 06:03.700
A sword is upon her treasures,
and they shall be robbed.

06:04.640 --> 06:07.240
A drought is upon her waters, and they
shall be dried up.

06:07.920 --> 06:11.220
For it is the land of graven images,
and they are mad upon their idols.

06:12.180 --> 06:15.280
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert,
with the wild beasts of the islands,

06:15.640 --> 06:16.340
shall dwell there.

06:16.940 --> 06:20.400
And the owls shall dwell therein,
and it shall be no more inhabited forever.

06:21.300 --> 06:23.620
Neither shall it be dwelt in from
generation to generation.

06:24.540 --> 06:27.900
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
and the neighbour cities thereof,

06:28.340 --> 06:32.920
saith the Lord, so shall no man abide
there, neither shall any son of man dwell

06:32.920 --> 06:33.360
therein.

06:34.100 --> 06:38.200
Behold, a people shall come from the
north, and a great nation, and many kings

06:38.200 --> 06:39.940
shall be raised up from the coasts of the
earth.

06:40.800 --> 06:42.200
They shall hold the bow and the lance.

06:42.680 --> 06:44.560
They are cruel, and will not show mercy.

06:45.320 --> 06:48.480
The voice shall roar like the sea,
and they shall ride upon horses,

06:49.060 --> 06:52.600
every one put in array, like a man to the
battle against thee, O daughter of

06:52.600 --> 06:52.900
Babylon.

06:53.580 --> 06:57.160
The king of Babylon hath heard the report
of them, and his hands waxed feeble.

06:57.880 --> 07:00.480
Anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of
a woman in travail.

07:01.220 --> 07:04.940
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from
the swelling of Jordan, under the

07:04.940 --> 07:06.000
habitation of the strong.

07:07.040 --> 07:08.780
But I will make them suddenly run away
from her.

07:09.520 --> 07:11.780
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint
over her?

07:12.520 --> 07:13.340
For who is like me?

07:14.140 --> 07:15.360
And who will appoint me the time?

07:16.080 --> 07:18.080
And who is that shepherd that will stand
before me?

07:18.860 --> 07:22.420
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord,
that he hath taken against Babylon,

07:23.040 --> 07:26.520
and his purposes, that he hath purposed
against the land of the Chaldeans.

07:27.660 --> 07:29.580
Surely the least of the flock shall draw
them out.

07:30.380 --> 07:32.580
Surely he shall make their habitation
desolate with them.

07:33.480 --> 07:37.460
At the noise of the taking of Babylon,
the earth is moved, and the cry is heard

07:37.460 --> 07:38.520
among the nations.
