Chapter 50

1The word which Hashem spoke concerning Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, through the Navi Yirmiyahu:

ha-DA-var a-SHER di-BER a-do-NAI el-BA-vel el-E-retz kas-DIM b'-yad yir-m'-YA-hu ha-na-VEE

אהַדָּבָ֗ר אֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבֶּ֧ר יְהֹוָ֛ה אֶל־בָּבֶ֖ל אֶל־אֶ֣רֶץ כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים בְּיַ֖ד יִרְמְיָ֥הוּ הַנָּבִֽיא׃

2Declare among the nations, and proclaim; Raise a standard, proclaim; Hide nothing! Say: Babylon is captured, Bel is shamed, Merodach is dismayed. Her idols are shamed, Her fetishes dismayed.

3For a nation from the north has attacked her, It will make her land a desolation. No one shall dwell in it, Both man and beast shall wander away.

4In those days and at that time—declares Hashem—the people of Yisrael together with the people of Yehuda shall come, and they shall weep as they go to seek Hashem their God.

5They shall inquire for Tzion; in that direction their faces shall turn; they shall come and attach themselves to Hashem by a covenant for all time, which shall never be forgotten.

6My people were lost sheep: their shepherds led them astray, they drove them out to the mountains, they roamed from mount to hill, they forgot their own resting place.

7All who encountered them devoured them; and their foes said, “We shall not be held guilty, because they have sinned against Hashem, the true Pasture, the Hope of their fathers—Hashem.”

9For see, I am rousing and leading An assemblage of great nations against Babylon From the lands of the north. They shall draw up their lines against her, There she shall be captured. Their arrows are like those of a skilled warrior Who does not turn back without hitting the mark.

13Because of Hashem's wrath she shall not be inhabited; She shall be utterly desolate. Whoever passes by Babylon will be appalled And will hiss at all her wounds.

16Make an end in Babylon of sowers, And of wielders of the sickle at harvest time. Because of the deadly sword, Each man shall turn back to his people, They shall flee every one to his land.

17Yisrael are scattered sheep, harried by lions. First the king of Assyria devoured them, and in the end King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon crunched their bones.

18Assuredly, thus said the lord of Hosts, the God of Yisrael: I will deal with the king of Babylon and his land as I dealt with the king of Assyria.

40It shall be as when Hashem overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors—declares Hashem; no man shall live there, no human shall sojourn there.

41Lo, a people comes from the northland; A great nation and many kings are roused From the remotest parts of the earth.

42They grasp the bow and javelin, They are cruel, they show no mercy; The sound of them is like the roaring sea. They ride upon horses, Accoutered like a man for battle, Against you, O Fair Babylon!

43The king of Babylon has heard the report of them And his hands are weakened; Anguish seizes him, Pangs like a woman in childbirth.

44It shall be as when a lion comes out of the jungle of the Yarden against a secure pasture: in a moment I can harry them out of it and appoint over it anyone I choose. Then who is like Me? Who can summon Me? Who is the shepherd that can stand up against Me?

45Hear, then, the plan that Hashem has devised against Babylon, and has purposed against the land of Chaldea: Surely the shepherd boys Shall drag them away; Surely the pasture shall be Aghast because of them.
