Every verse with Babylon
Verses 101–200 of 254 (page 2 of 3)
וְאֵלֶּה דִּבְרֵי הַסֵּפֶר אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַח יִרְמְיָה הַנָּבִיא מִירוּשָׁלִָם אֶל-יֶתֶר זִקְנֵי הַגּוֹלָה וְאֶל-הַכֹּהֲנִים וְאֶל-הַנְּבִיאִים וְאֶל-כָּל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר הֶגְלָה נְבֽוּכַדְנֶאצַּר מִירוּשָׁלִַם בָּבֶֽלָה׃
Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
בְּיַד אֶלְעָשָׂה בֶן-שָׁפָן וּגְמַרְיָה בֶּן-חִלְקִיָּה אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַח צִדְקִיָּה מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה אֶל-נְבוּכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל בָּבֶלָה לֵאמֹֽר׃
By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכָל-הַגּוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר-הִגְלֵיתִי מִירוּשָׁלִַם בָּבֶֽלָה׃
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;
כִּֽי-כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה כִּי לְפִי מְלֹאת לְבָבֶל שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה אֶפְקֹד אֶתְכֶם וַהֲקִמֹתִי עֲלֵיכֶם אֶת-דְּבָרִי הַטּוֹב לְהָשִׁיב אֶתְכֶם אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
כִּי אֲמַרְתֶּם הֵקִים לָנוּ יְהוָה נְבִאִים בָּבֶֽלָה׃
Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;
וְאַתֶּם שִׁמְעוּ דְבַר-יְהוָה כָּל-הַגּוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר-שִׁלַּחְתִּי מִירוּשָׁלִַם בָּבֶֽלָה׃
Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-אַחְאָב בֶּן-קֽוֹלָיָה וְאֶל-צִדְקִיָּהוּ בֶן-מַֽעֲשֵׂיָה הַֽנִּבְּאִים לָכֶם בִּשְׁמִי שָׁקֶר הִנְנִי׀ נֹתֵן אֹתָם בְּיַד נְבֽוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וְהִכָּם לְעֵינֵיכֶֽם׃
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
וְלֻקַּח מֵהֶם קְלָלָה לְכֹל גָּלוּת יְהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר בְּבָבֶל לֵאמֹר יְשִֽׂמְךָ יְהוָה כְּצִדְקִיָּהוּ וּכְאֶחָב אֲשֶׁר-קָלָם מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
כִּי עַל-כֵּן שָׁלַח אֵלֵינוּ בָּבֶל לֵאמֹר אֲרֻכָּה הִיא בְּנוּ בָתִּים וְשֵׁבוּ וְנִטְעוּ גַנּוֹת וְאִכְלוּ אֶת-פְּרִיהֶֽן׃
For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
וְאָז חֵיל מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל צָרִים עַל-יְרוּשָׁלִָם וְיִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא הָיָה כָלוּא בַּחֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה אֲשֶׁר בֵּֽית-מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃
For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.
אֲשֶׁר כְּלָאוֹ צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה לֵאמֹר מַדּוּעַ אַתָּה נִבָּא לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי נֹתֵן אֶת-הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וּלְכָדָֽהּ׃
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
וְצִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה לֹא יִמָּלֵט מִיַּד הַכַּשְׂדִּים כִּי הִנָּתֹן יִנָּתֵן בְּיַד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וְדִבֶּר-פִּיו עִם-פִּיו וְעֵינָיו אֶת-(עינו) עֵינָיו תִּרְאֶֽינָה׃
And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
וּבָבֶל יוֹלִךְ אֶת-צִדְקִיָּהוּ וְשָׁם יִֽהְיֶה עַד-פָּקְדִי אֹתוֹ נְאֻם-יְהוָה כִּי תִֽלָּחֲמוּ אֶת-הַכַּשְׂדִּים לֹא תַצְלִֽיחוּ׃
And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי נֹתֵן אֶת-הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד הַכַּשְׂדִּים וּבְיַד נְבֽוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וּלְכָדָֽהּ׃
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
וְעַתָּה לָכֵן כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-הָעִיר הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר׀ אַתֶּם אֹמְרִים נִתְּנָה בְּיַד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל בַּחֶרֶב וּבָרָעָב וּבַדָּֽבֶר׃
And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר-הָיָה אֶֽל-יִרְמְיָהוּ מֵאֵת יְהוָה וּנְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל׀ וְכָל-חֵילוֹ וְכָל-מַמְלְכוֹת אֶרֶץ מֶמְשֶׁלֶת יָדוֹ וְכָל-הָעַמִּים נִלְחָמִים עַל-יְרוּשָׁלִַם וְעַל-כָּל-עָרֶיהָ לֵאמֹֽר׃
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הָלֹךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ אֶל-צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וְאָמַרְתָּ אֵלָיו כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי נֹתֵן אֶת-הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וּשְׂרָפָהּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
וְאַתָּה לֹא תִמָּלֵט מִיָּדוֹ כִּי תָּפֹשׂ תִּתָּפֵשׂ וּבְיָדוֹ תִּנָּתֵן וְֽעֵינֶיךָ אֶת-עֵינֵי מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל תִּרְאֶינָה וּפִיהוּ אֶת-פִּיךָ יְדַבֵּר וּבָבֶל תָּבֽוֹא׃
And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
וְחֵיל מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל נִלְחָמִים עַל-יְרוּשָׁלִַם וְעַל כָּל-עָרֵי יְהוּדָה הַנּֽוֹתָרוֹת אֶל-לָכִישׁ וְאֶל-עֲזֵקָה כִּי הֵנָּה נִשְׁאֲרוּ בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה עָרֵי מִבְצָֽר׃
When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.
וְאֶת-צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה וְאֶת-שָׂרָיו אֶתֵּן בְּיַד אֹֽיְבֵיהֶם וּבְיַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשָׁם וּבְיַד חֵיל מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל הָעֹלִים מֵעֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
וַיְהִי בַּעֲלוֹת נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל אֶל-הָאָרֶץ וַנֹּאמֶר בֹּאוּ וְנָבוֹא יְרוּשָׁלִַם מִפְּנֵי חֵיל הַכַּשְׂדִּים וּמִפְּנֵי חֵיל אֲרָם וַנֵּשֶׁב בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
וְעַל-יְהוֹיָקִים מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה תֹּאמַר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה אַתָּה שָׂרַפְתָּ אֶת-הַמְּגִלָּה הַזֹּאת לֵאמֹר מַדּוּעַ כָּתַבְתָּ עָלֶיהָ לֵאמֹר בֹּֽא-יָבוֹא מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וְהִשְׁחִית אֶת-הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת וְהִשְׁבִּית מִמֶּנָּה אָדָם וּבְהֵמָֽה׃
And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
וַיִּמְלָךְ-מֶלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ בֶּן-יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ תַּחַת כָּנְיָהוּ בֶּן-יְהוֹיָקִים אֲשֶׁר הִמְלִיךְ נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָֽה׃
And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
וַיִּשְׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ וַיִּקָּחֵהוּ וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּבֵיתוֹ בַּסֵּתֶר וַיֹּאמֶר הֲיֵשׁ דָּבָר מֵאֵת יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ יֵשׁ וַיֹּאמֶר בְּיַד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל תִּנָּתֵֽן׃
Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took out: him and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
(ואיו) וְאַיֵּה נְבִיאֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר-נִבְּאוּ לָכֶם לֵאמֹר לֹֽא-יָבֹא מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל עֲלֵיכֶם וְעַל הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּֽאת׃
Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנָּתֹן תִּנָּתֵן הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד חֵיל מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וּלְכָדָֽהּ׃
Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל-צִדְקִיָּהוּ כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם-יָצֹא תֵצֵא אֶל-שָׂרֵי מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וְחָיְתָה נַפְשֶׁךָ וְהָעִיר הַזֹּאת לֹא תִשָּׂרֵף בָּאֵשׁ וְחָיִתָה אַתָּה וּבֵיתֶֽךָ׃
Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:
וְאִם לֹֽא-תֵצֵא אֶל-שָׂרֵי מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְנִתְּנָה הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד הַכַּשְׂדִּים וּשְׂרָפוּהָ בָּאֵשׁ וְאַתָּה לֹֽא-תִמָּלֵט מִיָּדָֽם׃
But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
וְהִנֵּה כָל-הַנָּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁאֲרוּ בְּבֵית מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה מוּצָאוֹת אֶל-שָׂרֵי מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְהֵנָּה אֹמְרֹת הִסִּיתוּךָ וְיָכְלוּ לְךָ אַנְשֵׁי שְׁלֹמֶךָ הָטְבְּעוּ בַבֹּץ רַגְלֶךָ נָסֹגוּ אָחֽוֹר׃
And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set on, thee and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.
וְאֶת-כָּל-נָשֶׁיךָ וְאֶת-בָּנֶיךָ מֽוֹצִאִים אֶל-הַכַּשְׂדִּים וְאַתָּה לֹא-תִמָּלֵט מִיָּדָם כִּי בְיַד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל תִּתָּפֵשׂ וְאֶת-הָעִיר הַזֹּאת תִּשְׂרֹף בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.
בַּשָּׁנָה הַתְּשִׁעִית לְצִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָעֲשִׂרִי בָּא נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וְכָל-חֵילוֹ אֶל-יְרוּשָׁלִַם וַיָּצֻרוּ עָלֶֽיהָ׃
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
וַיָּבֹאוּ כֹּל שָׂרֵי מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וַיֵּשְׁבוּ בְּשַׁעַר הַתָּוֶךְ נֵרְגַל שַׂר-אֶצֶר סַֽמְגַּר-נְבוּ שַׂר-סְכִים רַב-סָרִיס נֵרְגַל שַׂר-אֶצֶר רַב-מָג וְכָל-שְׁאֵרִית שָׂרֵי מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶֽל׃
And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.
וַיִּרְדְּפוּ חֵיל-כַּשְׂדִּים אַחֲרֵיהֶם וַיַּשִּׂגוּ אֶת-צִדְקִיָּהוּ בְּעַֽרְבוֹת יְרֵחוֹ וַיִּקְחוּ אֹתוֹ וַֽיַּעֲלֻהוּ אֶל-נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל רִבְלָתָה בְּאֶרֶץ חֲמָת וַיְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ מִשְׁפָּטִֽים׃
But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
וַיִּשְׁחַט מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל אֶת-בְּנֵי צִדְקִיָּהוּ בְּרִבְלָה לְעֵינָיו וְאֵת כָּל-חֹרֵי יְהוּדָה שָׁחַט מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶֽל׃
Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
וְאֶת-עֵינֵי צִדְקִיָּהוּ עִוֵּר וַיַּאַסְרֵהוּ בַּֽנְחֻשְׁתַּיִם לָבִיא אֹתוֹ בָּבֶֽלָה׃
Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
וְאֵת יֶתֶר הָעָם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּעִיר וְאֶת-הַנֹּֽפְלִים אֲשֶׁר נָפְלוּ עָלָיו וְאֵת יֶתֶר הָעָם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים הֶגְלָה נְבֽוּזַר-אֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים בָּבֶֽל׃
Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
וַיְצַו נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל עַֽל-יִרְמְיָהוּ בְּיַד נְבוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים לֵאמֹֽר׃
Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, saying,
וַיִּשְׁלַח נְבֽוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים וּנְבֽוּשַׁזְבָּן רַב-סָרִיס וְנֵרְגַל שַׂר-אֶצֶר רַב-מָג וְכֹל רַבֵּי מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶֽל׃
So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;
הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר-הָיָה אֶֽל-יִרְמְיָהוּ מֵאֵת יְהוָה אַחַר׀ שַׁלַּח אֹתוֹ נְבוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים מִן-הָֽרָמָה בְּקַחְתּוֹ אֹתוֹ וְהֽוּא-אָסוּר בָּֽאזִקִּים בְּתוֹךְ כָּל-גָּלוּת יְרוּשָׁלִַם וִֽיהוּדָה הַמֻּגְלִים בָּבֶֽלָה׃
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.
וְעַתָּה הִנֵּה פִתַּחְתִּיךָ הַיּוֹם מִֽן-הָאזִקִּים אֲשֶׁר עַל-יָדֶךָ אִם-טוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָבוֹא אִתִּי בָבֶל בֹּא וְאָשִׂים אֶת-עֵינִי עָלֶיךָ וְאִם-רַע בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָבֽוֹא-אִתִּי בָבֶל חֲדָל רְאֵה כָּל-הָאָרֶץ לְפָנֶיךָ אֶל-טוֹב וְאֶל-הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָלֶכֶת שָׁמָּה לֵֽךְ׃
And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.
וְעוֹדֶנּוּ לֹֽא-יָשׁוּב וְשֻׁבָה אֶל-גְּדַלְיָה בֶן-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָן אֲשֶׁר הִפְקִיד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וְשֵׁב אִתּוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הָעָם אוֹ אֶל-כָּל-הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָלֶכֶת לֵךְ וַיִּתֶּן-לוֹ רַב-טַבָּחִים אֲרֻחָה וּמַשְׂאֵת וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֵֽהוּ׃
Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ כָל-שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים אֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׂדֶה הֵמָּה וְאַנְשֵׁיהֶם כִּֽי-הִפְקִיד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶן-אֲחִיקָם בָּאָרֶץ וְכִי׀ הִפְקִיד אִתּוֹ אֲנָשִׁים וְנָשִׁים וָטָף וּמִדַּלַּת הָאָרֶץ מֵאֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הָגְלוּ בָּבֶֽלָה׃
Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;
וַיִּשָּׁבַע לָהֶם גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶן-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָן וּלְאַנְשֵׁיהֶם לֵאמֹר אַל-תִּֽירְאוּ מֵעֲבוֹד הַכַּשְׂדִּים שְׁבוּ בָאָרֶץ וְעִבְדוּ אֶת-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְיִיטַב לָכֶֽם׃
And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
וְגַם כָּֽל-הַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר-בְּמוֹאָב׀ וּבִבְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וּבֶאֱדוֹם וַאֲשֶׁר בְּכָל-הָֽאֲרָצוֹת שָֽׁמְעוּ כִּֽי-נָתַן מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל שְׁאֵרִית לִֽיהוּדָה וְכִי הִפְקִיד עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָֽן׃
Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;
וַיָּקָם יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה וַעֲשֶׂרֶת הָאֲנָשִׁים׀ אֲשֶׁר-הָיוּ אִתּוֹ וַיַּכּוּ אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶן-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָן בַּחֶרֶב וַיָּמֶת אֹתוֹ אֲשֶׁר-הִפְקִיד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
מִפְּנֵי הַכַּשְׂדִּים כִּי יָרְאוּ מִפְּנֵיהֶם כִּֽי-הִכָּה יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם אֲשֶׁר-הִפְקִיד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
אַל-תִּֽירְאוּ מִפְּנֵי מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל אֲשֶׁר-אַתֶּם יְרֵאִים מִפָּנָיו אַל-תִּֽירְאוּ מִמֶּנּוּ נְאֻם-יְהוָה כִּֽי-אִתְּכֶם אָנִי לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶתְכֶם וּלְהַצִּיל אֶתְכֶם מִיָּדֽוֹ׃
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
כִּי בָּרוּךְ בֶּן-נֵרִיָּה מַסִּית אֹתְךָ בָּנוּ לְמַעַן תֵּת אֹתָנוּ בְיַֽד-הַכַּשְׂדִּים לְהָמִית אֹתָנוּ וּלְהַגְלוֹת אֹתָנוּ בָּבֶֽל׃
But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִנְנִי שֹׁלֵחַ וְלָקַחְתִּי אֶת-נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל עַבְדִּי וְשַׂמְתִּי כִסְאוֹ מִמַּעַל לָאֲבָנִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר טָמָנְתִּי וְנָטָה אֶת-(שפרורו) שַׁפְרִירוֹ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
כֹּה׀ אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי נֹתֵן אֶת-פַּרְעֹה חָפְרַע מֶֽלֶךְ-מִצְרַיִם בְּיַד אֹֽיְבָיו וּבְיַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשׁוֹ כַּאֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי אֶת-צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה בְּיַד נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל אֹיְבוֹ וּמְבַקֵּשׁ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
לְמִצְרַיִם עַל-חֵיל פַּרְעֹה נְכוֹ מֶלֶךְ מִצְרַיִם אֲשֶׁר-הָיָה עַל-נְהַר-פְּרָת בְּכַרְכְּמִשׁ אֲשֶׁר הִכָּה נְבֽוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל בִּשְׁנַת הָֽרְבִיעִית לִיהוֹיָקִים בֶּן-יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh-necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶֽל-יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא לָבוֹא נְבֽוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל לְהַכּוֹת אֶת-אֶרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
וּנְתַתִּים בְּיַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשָׁם וּבְיַד נְבֽוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וּבְיַד-עֲבָדָיו וְאַחֲרֵי-כֵן תִּשְׁכֹּן כִּֽימֵי-קֶדֶם נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.
לְקֵדָר׀ וּֽלְמַמְלְכוֹת חָצוֹר אֲשֶׁר הִכָּה (נבוכדראצור) נְבֽוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה קוּמוּ עֲלוּ אֶל-קֵדָר וְשָׁדְדוּ אֶת-בְּנֵי-קֶֽדֶם׃
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
נֻסוּ נֻּדוּ מְאֹד הֶעְמִיקוּ לָשֶׁבֶת יֹשְׁבֵי חָצוֹר נְאֻם-יְהוָה כִּֽי-יָעַץ עֲלֵיכֶם נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל עֵצָה וְחָשַׁב (עליהם) עֲלֵיכֶם מַחֲשָׁבָֽה׃
Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶל-בָּבֶל אֶל-אֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים בְּיַד יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִֽיא׃
The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
הַגִּידוּ בַגּוֹיִם וְהַשְׁמִיעוּ וּֽשְׂאוּ-נֵס הַשְׁמִיעוּ אַל-תְּכַחֵדוּ אִמְרוּ נִלְכְּדָה בָבֶל הֹבִישׁ בֵּל חַת מְרֹדָךְ הֹבִישׁוּ עֲצַבֶּיהָ חַתּוּ גִּלּוּלֶֽיהָ׃
Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
נֻדוּ מִתּוֹךְ בָּבֶל וּמֵאֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים (יצאו) צֵאוּ וִהְיוּ כְּעַתּוּדִים לִפְנֵי-צֹֽאן׃
Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
כִּי הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי מֵעִיר וּמַעֲלֶה עַל-בָּבֶל קְהַל-גּוֹיִם גְּדֹלִים מֵאֶרֶץ צָפוֹן וְעָרְכוּ לָהּ מִשָּׁם תִּלָּכֵד חִצָּיו כְּגִבּוֹר מַשְׁכִּיל לֹא יָשׁוּב רֵיקָֽם׃
For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
מִקֶּצֶף יְהוָה לֹא תֵשֵׁב וְהָיְתָה שְׁמָמָה כֻּלָּהּ כֹּל עֹבֵר עַל-בָּבֶל יִשֹּׁם וְיִשְׁרֹק עַל-כָּל-מַכּוֹתֶֽיהָ׃
Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
עִרְכוּ עַל-בָּבֶל׀ סָבִיב כָּל-דֹּרְכֵי קֶשֶׁת יְדוּ אֵלֶיהָ אַֽל-תַּחְמְלוּ אֶל-חֵץ כִּי לַֽיהוָה חָטָֽאָה׃
Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.
כִּרְתוּ זוֹרֵעַ מִבָּבֶל וְתֹפֵשׂ מַגָּל בְּעֵת קָצִיר מִפְּנֵי חֶרֶב הַיּוֹנָה אִישׁ אֶל-עַמּוֹ יִפְנוּ וְאִישׁ לְאַרְצוֹ יָנֻֽסוּ׃
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
שֶׂה פְזוּרָה יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲרָיוֹת הִדִּיחוּ הָרִאשׁוֹן אֲכָלוֹ מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וְזֶה הָאַחֲרוֹן עִצְּמוֹ נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶֽל׃
Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
לָכֵן כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִנְנִי פֹקֵד אֶל-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְאֶל-אַרְצוֹ כַּאֲשֶׁר פָּקַדְתִּי אֶל-מֶלֶךְ אַשּֽׁוּר׃
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
אֵיךְ נִגְדַּע וַיִּשָּׁבֵר פַּטִּישׁ כָּל-הָאָרֶץ אֵיךְ הָיְתָה לְשַׁמָּה בָּבֶל בַּגּוֹיִֽם׃
How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
יָקֹשְׁתִּי לָךְ וְגַם-נִלְכַּדְתְּ בָּבֶל וְאַתְּ לֹא יָדָעַתְּ נִמְצֵאת וְגַם-נִתְפַּשְׂתְּ כִּי בַֽיהוָה הִתְגָּרִֽית׃
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.
קוֹל נָסִים וּפְלֵטִים מֵאֶרֶץ בָּבֶל לְהַגִּיד בְּצִיּוֹן אֶת-נִקְמַת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נִקְמַת הֵיכָלֽוֹ׃
The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
הַשְׁמִיעוּ אֶל-בָּבֶל׀ רַבִּים כָּל-דֹּרְכֵי קֶשֶׁת חֲנוּ עָלֶיהָ סָבִיב אַל-יְהִי-לָהּ פְּלֵיטָה שַׁלְּמוּ-לָהּ כְּפָעֳלָהּ כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר עָשְׂתָה עֲשׂוּ-לָהּ כִּי אֶל-יְהוָה זָדָה אֶל-קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
גֹּאֲלָם׀ חָזָק יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁמוֹ רִיב יָרִיב אֶת-רִיבָם לְמַעַן הִרְגִּיעַ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וְהִרְגִּיז לְיֹשְׁבֵי בָבֶֽל׃
Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
חֶרֶב עַל-כַּשְׂדִּים נְאֻם-יְהוָה וְאֶל-יֹשְׁבֵי בָבֶל וְאֶל-שָׂרֶיהָ וְאֶל-חֲכָמֶֽיהָ׃
A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
קֶשֶׁת וְכִידֹן יַחֲזִיקוּ אַכְזָרִי הֵמָּה וְלֹא יְרַחֵמוּ קוֹלָם כַּיָּם יֶהֱמֶה וְעַל-סוּסִים יִרְכָּבוּ עָרוּךְ כְּאִישׁ לַמִּלְחָמָה עָלַיִךְ בַּת-בָּבֶֽל׃
They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
שָׁמַע מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל אֶת-שִׁמְעָם וְרָפוּ יָדָיו צָרָה הֶחֱזִיקַתְהוּ חִיל כַּיּוֹלֵדָֽה׃
The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
לָכֵן שִׁמְעוּ עֲצַת-יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר יָעַץ אֶל-בָּבֶל וּמַחְשְׁבוֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר חָשַׁב אֶל-אֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים אִם-לֹא יִסְחָבוּם צְעִירֵי הַצֹּאן אִם-לֹא יַשִּׁים עֲלֵיהֶם נָוֶֽה׃
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
מִקּוֹל נִתְפְּשָׂה בָבֶל נִרְעֲשָׁה הָאָרֶץ וּזְעָקָה בַּגּוֹיִם נִשְׁמָֽע׃
At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי מֵעִיר עַל-בָּבֶל וְאֶל-יֹשְׁבֵי לֵב קָמָי רוּחַ מַשְׁחִֽית׃
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;
וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי לְבָבֶל׀ זָרִים וְזֵרוּהָ וִיבֹקְקוּ אֶת-אַרְצָהּ כִּֽי-הָיוּ עָלֶיהָ מִסָּבִיב בְּיוֹם רָעָֽה׃
And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
נֻסוּ׀ מִתּוֹךְ בָּבֶל וּמַלְּטוּ אִישׁ נַפְשׁוֹ אַל-תִּדַּמּוּ בַּעֲוֺנָהּ כִּי עֵת נְקָמָה הִיא לַֽיהוָה גְּמוּל הוּא מְשַׁלֵּם לָֽהּ׃
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
כּוֹס-זָהָב בָּבֶל בְּיַד-יְהוָה מְשַׁכֶּרֶת כָּל-הָאָרֶץ מִיֵּינָהּ שָׁתוּ גוֹיִם עַל-כֵּן יִתְהֹלְלוּ גוֹיִֽם׃
Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
פִּתְאֹם נָפְלָה בָבֶל וַתִּשָּׁבֵר הֵילִילוּ עָלֶיהָ קְחוּ צֳרִי לְמַכְאוֹבָהּ אוּלַי תֵּרָפֵֽא׃
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
רִפִּאנוּ אֶת-בָּבֶל וְלֹא נִרְפָּתָה עִזְבוּהָ וְנֵלֵךְ אִישׁ לְאַרְצוֹ כִּֽי-נָגַע אֶל-הַשָּׁמַיִם מִשְׁפָּטָהּ וְנִשָּׂא עַד-שְׁחָקִֽים׃
We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
הָבֵרוּ הַחִצִּים מִלְאוּ הַשְּׁלָטִים הֵעִיר יְהוָה אֶת-רוּחַ מַלְכֵי מָדַי כִּֽי-עַל-בָּבֶל מְזִמָּתוֹ לְהַשְׁחִיתָהּ כִּֽי-נִקְמַת יְהוָה הִיא נִקְמַת הֵיכָלֽוֹ׃
Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
אֶל-חוֹמֹת בָּבֶל שְׂאוּ-נֵס הַחֲזִיקוּ הַמִּשְׁמָר הָקִימוּ שֹֽׁמְרִים הָכִינוּ הָאֹֽרְבִים כִּי גַּם-זָמַם יְהוָה גַּם-עָשָׂה אֵת אֲשֶׁר-דִּבֶּר אֶל-יֹשְׁבֵי בָבֶֽל׃
Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.
וְשִׁלַּמְתִּי לְבָבֶל וּלְכֹל׀ יוֹשְׁבֵי כַשְׂדִּים אֵת כָּל-רָעָתָם אֲשֶׁר-עָשׂוּ בְצִיּוֹן לְעֵֽינֵיכֶם נְאֻם יְהוָֽה׃
And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.
וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ וַתָּחֹל כִּי קָמָה עַל-בָּבֶל מַחְשְׁבוֹת יְהוָה לָשׂוּם אֶת-אֶרֶץ בָּבֶל לְשַׁמָּה מֵאֵין יוֹשֵֽׁב׃
And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
חָדְלוּ גִבּוֹרֵי בָבֶל לְהִלָּחֵם יָֽשְׁבוּ בַּמְּצָדוֹת נָשְׁתָה גְבוּרָתָם הָיוּ לְנָשִׁים הִצִּיתוּ מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיהָ נִשְׁבְּרוּ בְרִיחֶֽיהָ׃
The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.
רָץ לִקְרַאת-רָץ יָרוּץ וּמַגִּיד לִקְרַאת מַגִּיד לְהַגִּיד לְמֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל כִּֽי-נִלְכְּדָה עִירוֹ מִקָּצֶֽה׃
One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,
כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּת-בָּבֶל כְּגֹרֶן עֵת הִדְרִיכָהּ עוֹד מְעַט וּבָאָה עֵֽת-הַקָּצִיר לָֽהּ׃
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
אֲכָלַנִו הֲמָמַנִו נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל הִצִּיגַנִו כְּלִי רִיק בְּלָעַנִו כַּתַּנִּין מִלָּא כְרֵשׂוֹ מֵֽעֲדָנָי הֱדִיחָֽנִו׃
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
חֲמָסִי וּשְׁאֵרִי עַל-בָּבֶל תֹּאמַר יֹשֶׁבֶת צִיּוֹן וְדָמִי אֶל-יֹשְׁבֵי כַשְׂדִּים תֹּאמַר יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
וְהָיְתָה בָבֶל׀ לְגַלִּים׀ מְעוֹן-תַּנִּים שַׁמָּה וּשְׁרֵקָה מֵאֵין יוֹשֵֽׁב׃
And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
אֵיךְ נִלְכְּדָה שֵׁשַׁךְ וַתִּתָּפֵשׂ תְּהִלַּת כָּל-הָאָרֶץ אֵיךְ הָיְתָה לְשַׁמָּה בָּבֶל בַּגּוֹיִֽם׃
How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
עָלָה עַל-בָּבֶל הַיָּם בַּהֲמוֹן גַּלָּיו נִכְסָֽתָה׃
The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
וּפָקַדְתִּי עַל-בֵּל בְּבָבֶל וְהֹצֵאתִי אֶת-בִּלְעוֹ מִפִּיו וְלֹֽא-יִנְהֲרוּ אֵלָיו עוֹד גּוֹיִם גַּם-חוֹמַת בָּבֶל נָפָֽלָה׃
And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
לָכֵן הִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים וּפָקַדְתִּי עַל-פְּסִילֵי בָבֶל וְכָל-אַרְצָהּ תֵּבוֹשׁ וְכָל-חֲלָלֶיהָ יִפְּלוּ בְתוֹכָֽהּ׃
Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
וְרִנְּנוּ עַל-בָּבֶל שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר בָּהֶם כִּי מִצָּפוֹן יָבוֹא-לָהּ הַשּׁוֹדְדִים נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.
גַּם-בָּבֶל לִנְפֹּל חַֽלְלֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל גַּם-לְבָבֶל נָפְלוּ חַֽלְלֵי כָל-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
כִּֽי-תַעֲלֶה בָבֶל הַשָּׁמַיִם וְכִי תְבַצֵּר מְרוֹם עֻזָּהּ מֵאִתִּי יָבֹאוּ שֹׁדְדִים לָהּ נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.
קוֹל זְעָקָה מִבָּבֶל וְשֶׁבֶר גָּדוֹל מֵאֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּֽים׃
A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
כִּֽי-שֹׁדֵד יְהוָה אֶת-בָּבֶל וְאִבַּד מִמֶּנָּה קוֹל גָּדוֹל וְהָמוּ גַלֵּיהֶם כְּמַיִם רַבִּים נִתַּן שְׁאוֹן קוֹלָֽם׃
Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
כִּי בָא עָלֶיהָ עַל-בָּבֶל שׁוֹדֵד וְנִלְכְּדוּ גִּבּוֹרֶיהָ חִתְּתָה קַשְּׁתוֹתָם כִּי אֵל גְּמֻלוֹת יְהוָה שַׁלֵּם יְשַׁלֵּֽם׃
Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.
