00:00.720 --> 00:02.600
They shall roar together like lions.

00:03.100 --> 00:04.840
They shall yell as lions whelps.

00:05.680 --> 00:09.560
In their heat I will make their feasts,
and I will make them drunken, that they

00:09.560 --> 00:14.120
may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep,
and not wake, saith the Lord.

00:15.300 --> 00:19.080
I will bring them down like lambs to the
slaughter, like rams with he-goats.

00:20.120 --> 00:21.140
How is Shishak taken?

00:21.680 --> 00:23.820
And how is the praise of the whole earth
surprised?

00:24.360 --> 00:26.900
How is Babylon become an astonishment
among the nations?

00:27.440 --> 00:29.340
The sea is come up upon Babylon.

00:29.860 --> 00:32.120
She is covered with the multitude of the
waves thereof.

00:32.960 --> 00:37.840
Her cities are a desolation, a dry land,
and a wilderness, a land wherein no man

00:37.840 --> 00:38.240
dwelleth.

00:38.980 --> 00:40.780
Neither doth any son of man pass thereby.

00:41.820 --> 00:46.080
And I will punish Bel in Babylon,
and I will bring forth out of his mouth

00:46.080 --> 00:47.580
that which he hath swallowed up.

00:48.100 --> 00:50.660
And the nations shall not flow together
any more unto him.

00:51.100 --> 00:53.160
Yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

00:53.160 --> 00:57.400
My people, my people, go ye out of the
midst of her, and deliver ye every man his

00:57.400 --> 00:59.160
soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.

00:59.980 --> 01:03.300
And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for
the rumour that shall be heard in the

01:03.300 --> 01:08.160
land, a rumour shall both come one year,
and after that in another year shall come

01:08.160 --> 01:11.480
a rumour, and violence in the land,
ruler against ruler.

01:12.380 --> 01:15.600
Therefore behold the days come,
that I will do judgment upon the graven

01:15.600 --> 01:20.720
images of Babylon, and her whole land
shall be confounded, and all her slain

01:20.720 --> 01:22.000
shall fall in the midst of her.

01:22.000 --> 01:26.600
Then the heaven and the earth,
and all that is therein, shall sing for

01:26.600 --> 01:30.900
Babylon, for the spoilers shall come unto
her from the north, saith the Lord.

01:31.520 --> 01:35.660
As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel
to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the

01:35.660 --> 01:36.780
slain of all the earth.

01:37.660 --> 01:40.620
Ye that have escaped the sword,
go away, stand not still.

01:41.500 --> 01:45.100
Remember the Lord afar off, and let
Jerusalem come into your mind.

01:46.080 --> 01:48.860
We are confounded, because we have heard
reproach.

01:49.400 --> 01:53.460
Shame hath covered our faces, for
strangers are come into the sanctuaries of

01:53.460 --> 01:54.320
the Lord's house.

01:55.340 --> 01:58.860
Wherefore behold the days come,
saith the Lord, that I will do judgment

01:58.860 --> 02:02.640
upon her graven images, and through all
her land the wounded shall groan.

02:03.680 --> 02:06.920
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven,
and though she should fortify the height

02:06.920 --> 02:11.320
of her strength, yet from me shall
spoilers come unto her, saith the Lord.

02:12.100 --> 02:15.620
A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon,
and great destruction from the land of the

02:15.620 --> 02:19.680
Chaldeans, because the Lord hath spoiled
Babylon, and destroyed out of her the

02:19.680 --> 02:20.260
great voice.

02:21.020 --> 02:24.940
When her waves do roar like great waters,
a noise of their voice is uttered,

02:25.700 --> 02:29.800
because the spoiler is come upon her,
even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are

02:29.800 --> 02:31.700
taken, every one of their bows is broken.

02:32.500 --> 02:36.980
For the Lord God of recompenses shall
surely requite, and I will make drunk her

02:36.980 --> 02:41.100
princes, and her wise men, her captains,
and her rulers, and her mighty men,

02:41.100 --> 02:46.260
and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep,
and not wake, saith the King, whose name

02:46.260 --> 02:47.120
is the Lord of hosts.

02:47.960 --> 02:51.860
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the broad
walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken,

02:52.300 --> 02:56.000
and her high gates shall be burned with
fire, and the people shall labour in vain,

02:56.300 --> 02:58.740
and the folk in the fire, and they shall
be weary.

02:59.940 --> 03:03.360
The word which Jeremiah the prophet
commanded Saraiah, the son of Nariah,

03:03.860 --> 03:07.580
the son of Maaseah, when he went with
Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon,

03:08.020 --> 03:09.340
in the fourth year of his reign.

03:09.980 --> 03:11.900
And this Saraiah was a quiet prince.

03:12.600 --> 03:15.560
So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil
that should come upon Babylon,

03:15.920 --> 03:18.120
even all these words that are written
against Babylon.

03:18.760 --> 03:22.900
And Jeremiah said to Saraiah, When thou
comest to Babylon, and shalt see,

03:23.400 --> 03:28.000
and shalt read all these words,
then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast

03:28.000 --> 03:31.880
spoken against this place, to cut it off,
that none shall remain in it, neither man

03:31.880 --> 03:34.460
nor beast, but that it shall be desolate
for ever.

03:35.100 --> 03:39.460
And it shall be, when thou hast made an
end of reading this book, that thou shalt

03:39.460 --> 03:42.700
bind a stone to it, and cast it into the
midst of Euphrates.

03:43.960 --> 03:48.280
And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon
sink, and shall not rise from the evil

03:48.280 --> 03:50.600
that I will bring upon her, and they shall
be weary.

03:51.700 --> 03:53.100
Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
