Chapter 51.

00:02.440 --> 00:06.520
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise
up against Babylon, and against them that

00:06.520 --> 00:09.800
dwell in the midst of them that rise up
against me, a destroying wind,

00:10.320 --> 00:14.420
and will send unto Babylon fanners that
shall fan her, and shall empty her land.

00:15.240 --> 00:19.000
For in the day of trouble they shall be
against her round about, against him that

00:19.000 --> 00:23.580
bendeth, that the archer bend his bow,
and against him that lifteth himself up in

00:23.580 --> 00:24.300
his brigandine.

00:25.080 --> 00:28.760
And spare ye not her young men,
destroy ye utterly all her host.

00:29.980 --> 00:33.560
Thus the slain shall fall in the land of
the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust

00:33.560 --> 00:34.560
through in her streets.

00:35.380 --> 00:39.740
For Israel hath not been forsaken,
nor Judah of his God, of the Lord of

00:39.740 --> 00:40.080
hosts.

00:40.840 --> 00:43.340
Though the land was filled with sin
against the Holy One of Israel,

00:44.060 --> 00:47.140
flee out of the midst of Babylon,
and deliver every man his soul.

00:47.800 --> 00:51.220
Be not cut off in her iniquity,
for this is the time of the Lord's

00:51.220 --> 00:51.580
vengeance.

00:52.180 --> 00:54.000
He will render unto her a recompense.

00:54.920 --> 00:58.180
Babylon hath been a golden cup in the
Lord's hand that made all the earth

00:58.180 --> 00:58.580
drunken.

00:59.180 --> 01:02.580
The nations have drunken of her wine,
therefore the nations are mad.

01:03.440 --> 01:05.340
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed.

01:05.840 --> 01:09.200
Howl for her, take balm for her pain,
if so be she may be healed.

01:09.880 --> 01:12.280
We would have healed Babylon, but she has
not healed.

01:12.940 --> 01:15.920
Forsake her, and let us go every one into
his own country.

01:16.720 --> 01:20.580
For her judgment reacheth unto heaven,
and is lifted up even to the skies.

01:21.440 --> 01:23.040
The Lord hath brought forth our
righteousness.

01:23.680 --> 01:26.940
Come, and let us declare in Zion the work
of the Lord our God.

01:27.400 --> 01:29.640
Make bright the arrows, gather the
shields.

01:30.440 --> 01:32.820
The Lord hath raised up the spirit of the
kings of the Medes.

01:33.400 --> 01:35.780
For his device is against Babylon,
to destroy it.

01:36.480 --> 01:39.280
Because it is the vengeance of the Lord,
the vengeance of his temple.

01:40.180 --> 01:42.020
Set up the standard upon the walls of
Babylon.

01:42.700 --> 01:43.640
Make the watch strong.

01:44.340 --> 01:46.640
Set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes.

01:47.280 --> 01:50.480
For the Lord hath both devised and done
that which he spake against the

01:50.480 --> 01:51.420
inhabitants of Babylon.

01:51.420 --> 01:56.680
O thou that dwellest upon many waters,
abundant in treasures, thine end is come,

01:57.260 --> 01:58.640
and the measure of thy covetousness.

01:59.360 --> 02:03.520
The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself,
saying, Surely I will fill thee with men

02:03.520 --> 02:07.000
as with caterpillars, and they shall lift
up a shout against thee.

02:07.960 --> 02:09.460
He hath made the earth by his power.

02:10.220 --> 02:13.540
He hath established the world by his
wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven

02:13.540 --> 02:14.480
by his understanding.

02:15.540 --> 02:18.720
When he uttereth his voice, there is a
multitude of waters in the heavens.

02:19.520 --> 02:22.120
And he causeth the vapours to ascend from
the ends of the earth.

02:22.920 --> 02:26.160
He maketh lightnings with rain,
and bringeth forth the wind out of his

02:26.160 --> 02:26.480
treasures.

02:27.740 --> 02:29.340
Every man is brutish by his knowledge.

02:29.900 --> 02:31.900
Every founder is confounded by the graven
image.

02:32.500 --> 02:35.440
For his molten image is falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.

02:36.160 --> 02:37.520
They are vanity, the work of errors.

02:38.180 --> 02:40.620
In the time of their visitation they shall
perish.

02:41.340 --> 02:45.080
The portion of Jacob is not like them,
for he is the former of all things.

02:45.440 --> 02:47.260
And Israel is the rod of his inheritance.

02:47.640 --> 02:49.160
The Lord of hosts is his name.

02:50.400 --> 02:52.120
Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war.

02:52.760 --> 02:54.740
For with thee will I break in pieces the
nations.

02:55.460 --> 02:56.960
And with thee will I destroy kingdoms.

02:57.920 --> 03:00.300
And with thee will I break in pieces the
horse and his rider.

03:01.180 --> 03:03.720
And with thee will I break in pieces the
chariot and his rider.

03:04.760 --> 03:07.020
With thee also will I break in pieces man
and woman.

03:07.940 --> 03:10.120
And with thee will I break in pieces old
and young.

03:10.900 --> 03:13.900
And with thee will I break in pieces the
young man and the maid.

03:14.400 --> 03:17.500
I will also break in pieces with thee the
shepherd and his flock.

03:18.100 --> 03:21.360
And with thee will I break in pieces the
husbandman and his yoke of oxen.

03:22.280 --> 03:24.760
And with thee will I break in pieces
captains and rulers.

03:25.780 --> 03:30.060
And I will render unto Babylon and to all
the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil

03:30.060 --> 03:33.180
that they have done in Zion in your sight,
saith the Lord.

03:33.720 --> 03:38.780
Behold, I am against thee, O destroying
mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest

03:38.780 --> 03:39.420
all the earth.

03:39.860 --> 03:43.560
And I will stretch out mine hand upon
thee, and roll thee down from the rocks,

03:43.900 --> 03:45.240
and will make thee a burnt mountain.

03:46.360 --> 03:50.240
And they shall not take of thee a stone
for a corner, nor a stone for foundations.

03:51.220 --> 03:53.800
But thou shalt be desolate for ever,
saith the Lord.

03:55.160 --> 03:58.300
Set ye up a standard in the land,
blow the trumpet among the nations,

03:58.820 --> 04:02.320
prepare the nations against her,
call together against her the kingdoms of

04:02.320 --> 04:04.480
Ararat, Minai, and Ashkenaz.

04:05.000 --> 04:08.700
Appoint a captain against her,
cause the horses to come up as the rough

04:08.700 --> 04:09.340
caterpillars.

04:10.320 --> 04:13.880
Prepare against her the nations with the
kings of the Medes, the captains thereof,

04:14.240 --> 04:17.720
and all the rulers thereof, and all the
land of his dominion.

04:18.300 --> 04:19.820
And the land shall tremble in sorrow.

04:20.820 --> 04:24.200
For every purpose of the Lord shall be
performed against Babylon, to make the

04:24.200 --> 04:26.680
land of Babylon a desolation without an
inhabitant.

04:27.480 --> 04:29.560
The mighty men of Babylon are foreborn to
fight.

04:30.200 --> 04:31.340
They have remained in their holds.

04:32.020 --> 04:32.860
The might hath failed.

04:33.500 --> 04:34.580
They became as women.

04:35.400 --> 04:38.020
They have burned her dwelling places,
her bars are broken.

04:39.200 --> 04:42.160
One post shall run to meet another,
and one messenger to meet another,

04:42.520 --> 04:46.440
to show the king of Babylon that his city
is taken at one end, and that the passages

04:46.440 --> 04:50.660
are stopped, and the reeds they have
burned with fire, and the men of war are

04:50.660 --> 04:51.240
affrighted.

04:51.960 --> 04:54.280
For thus saith the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel.

04:55.020 --> 04:57.260
The daughter of Babylon is like a
threshing floor.

04:57.260 --> 04:59.220
It is time to thresh her.

04:59.960 --> 05:02.780
Yet a little while, and the time of her
harvest shall come.

05:03.960 --> 05:06.000
Nebuchadrezza the king of Babylon hath
devoured me.

05:06.500 --> 05:07.240
He hath crushed me.

05:07.700 --> 05:08.880
He hath made me an empty vessel.

05:09.700 --> 05:11.260
He hath swallowed me up like a dragon.

05:11.920 --> 05:13.680
He hath filled his belly with my
delicates.

05:13.900 --> 05:15.140
He hath cast me out.

05:16.080 --> 05:18.460
The violence done to me and to my flesh be
upon Babylon.

05:19.460 --> 05:23.080
Shall the inhabitant of Zion say,
and my blood upon the inhabitants of

05:23.080 --> 05:23.480
Chaldea?

05:23.480 --> 05:30.060
Shall Jerusalem say, therefore thus saith
the Lord, Behold, I will plead thy cause

05:30.060 --> 05:34.400
and take vengeance for thee, and I will
dry up her sea and make her springs dry.

05:35.220 --> 05:39.080
And Babylon shall become heaps,
a dwelling place for dragons, an

05:39.080 --> 05:42.040
astonishment, an enhissing, without an
inhabitant.

05:44.700 --> 05:47.040
This concludes Disc Number 41.
