Jeremiah 51 New American Standard Bible (NASB)Babylon Judged for Sins against Israel51 This is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am going to stir up 5 For neither Israel nor Judah has been [h]forsaken 11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers! 15 It is He who made the earth by His power, 24 “But I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes,” declares the Lord. 25 “Behold, I am against you, mountain of destruction 27 Lift up a signal flag in the land, 33 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: 34 “Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me, 36 Therefore this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am going to plead your case 41 “How [ah]Sheshak has been captured, 45 “Come out from her midst, My people, 49 Indeed, Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel, 52 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, 54 The sound of an outcry from Babylon, 58 This is what the Lord of armies says: “The broad wall of Babylon will be completely demolished, 59 The [ar]command that Jeremiah the prophet [as]gave Seraiah the son of Neriah, the grandson of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. (And Seraiah was quartermaster.) 60 Jeremiah wrote [at]on a single scroll all the disaster which would come against Babylon, that is, all these words which have been written concerning Babylon. 61 Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “As soon as you come to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud, 62 and say, ‘You, Lord, have [au]promised concerning this place to cut it off, so that there will be nothing living in it, [av]whether man or animal; but it will be a permanent desolation.’ 63 And as soon as you finish reading this [aw]scroll, you shall tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates, 64 and say, ‘Just so shall Babylon sink down and not rise again, because of the disaster that I am going to bring upon her; and they will become exhausted.’” To this point are the words of Jeremiah.
