⁵² “Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will execute judgment on her engraved images; and through all her land the wounded will groan.

KJVWherefore, behold, the days^H3117 come^H935^(H8802), saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068, that I will do judgment^H6485^(H8804) upon her graven images^H6456: and through all her land^H776 the wounded^H2491 shall groan^H602^(H8799).

⁵³ Though Babylon should mount up to the sky, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet destroyers will come to her from me,” says Yahweh.

KJVThough Babylon^H894 should mount up^H5927^(H8799) to heaven^H8064, and though she should fortify^H1219^(H8762) the height^H4791 of her strength^H5797, yet^H227 from me shall spoilers^H7703^(H8802) come^H935^(H8799) unto her, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068.

KJVA sound^H6963 of a cry^H2201 cometh from Babylon^H894, and great^H1419 destruction^H7667 from the land^H776 of the Chaldeans^H3778:

⁵⁵ For Yahweh lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice! Their waves roar like many waters. The noise of their voice is uttered.

KJVBecause the LORD^H3068 hath spoiled^H7703^(H8802) Babylon^H894, and destroyed^H6^(H8765) out of her the great^H1419 voice^H6963; when her waves^H1530 do roar^H1993^(H8804) like great^H7227 waters^H4325, a noise^H7588 of their voice^H6963 is uttered^H5414^(H8738):

⁵⁶ For the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon. Her mighty men are taken. Their bows are broken in pieces, for Yahweh is a God of retribution. He will surely repay.

KJVBecause the spoiler^H7703^(H8802) is come^H935^(H8804) upon her, even upon Babylon^H894, and her mighty men^H1368 are taken^H3920^(H8738), every one of their bows^H7198 is broken^H2865^(H8765): for the LORD^H3068 God^H410 of recompences^H1578 shall surely^H7999^(H8763) requite^H7999^(H8762).

⁵⁷ I will make her princes, her wise men, her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men drunk. They will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies.

KJVAnd I will make drunk^H7937^(H8689) her princes^H8269, and her wise^H2450 men, her captains^H6346, and her rulers^H5461, and her mighty men^H1368: and they shall sleep^H3462^(H8804) a perpetual^H5769 sleep^H8142, and not wake^H6974^(H8686), saith^H5002^(H8803) the King^H4428, whose name^H8034 is the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635.

⁵⁸ Yahweh of Armies says: “The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown. Her high gates will be burned with fire. The peoples will labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.”

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; The broad^H7342 walls^H2346 of Babylon^H894 shall be utterly^H6209^(H8771) broken^H6209^(H8698), and her high^H1364 gates^H8179 shall be burned^H3341^(H8799) with fire^H784; and the people^H5971 shall labour^H3021^(H8799) in vain^H7385, and the folk^H3816 in^H1767 the fire^H784, and they shall be weary^H3286^(H8804).

⁶⁰ Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.

KJVSo Jeremiah^H3414 wrote^H3789^(H8799) in a^H259 book^H5612 all the evil^H7451 that should come^H935^(H8799) upon Babylon^H894, even all these words^H1697 that are written^H3789^(H8803) against Babylon^H894.

⁶³ It will be, when you have finished reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of the Euphrates.

KJVAnd it shall be, when thou hast made an end^H3615^(H8763) of reading^H7121^(H8800) this book^H5612, that thou shalt bind^H7194^(H8799) a stone^H68 to it, and cast^H7993^(H8689) it into the midst^H8432 of Euphrates^H6578:

⁶⁴ Then you shall say, ‘Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they will be weary.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

KJVAnd thou shalt say^H559^(H8804), Thus shall Babylon^H894 sink^H8257^(H8799), and shall not rise^H6965^(H8799) from^H6440 the evil^H7451 that I will bring^H935^(H8688) upon her: and they shall be weary^H3286^(H8804). Thus far are the words^H1697 of Jeremiah^H3414.
