Jeremiah 51:35-58
New Living Translation
35 Make Babylon suffer as she made us suffer,”
say the people of Zion.
“Make the people of Babylonia pay for spilling our blood,”
says Jerusalem.
The Lord’s Vengeance on Babylon
36 This is what the Lord says to Jerusalem:
“I will be your lawyer to plead your case,
and I will avenge you.
I will dry up her river,
as well as her springs,
37 and Babylon will become a heap of ruins,
haunted by jackals.
She will be an object of horror and contempt,
a place where no one lives.
38 Her people will roar together like strong lions.
They will growl like lion cubs.
39 And while they lie inflamed with all their wine,
I will prepare a different kind of feast for them.
I will make them drink until they fall asleep,
and they will never wake up again,”
says the Lord.
40 “I will bring them down
like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats to be sacrificed.
41 “How Babylon[a] is fallen—
great Babylon, praised throughout the earth!
Now she has become an object of horror
among the nations.
42 The sea has risen over Babylon;
she is covered by its crashing waves.
43 Her cities now lie in ruins;
she is a dry wasteland
where no one lives or even passes by.
44 And I will punish Bel, the god of Babylon,
and make him vomit up all he has eaten.
The nations will no longer come and worship him.
The wall of Babylon has fallen!
A Message for the Exiles
45 “Come out, my people, flee from Babylon.
Save yourselves! Run from the Lord’s fierce anger.
46 But do not panic; don’t be afraid
when you hear the first rumor of approaching forces.
For rumors will keep coming year by year.
Violence will erupt in the land
as the leaders fight against each other.
47 For the time is surely coming
when I will punish this great city and all her idols.
Her whole land will be disgraced,
and her dead will lie in the streets.
48 Then the heavens and earth will rejoice,
for out of the north will come destroying armies
against Babylon,” says the Lord.
49 “Just as Babylon killed the people of Israel
and others throughout the world,
so must her people be killed.
50 Get out, all you who have escaped the sword!
Do not stand and watch—flee while you can!
Remember the Lord, though you are in a far-off land,
and think about your home in Jerusalem.”
51 “We are ashamed,” the people say.
“We are insulted and disgraced
because the Lord’s Temple
has been defiled by foreigners.”
52 “Yes,” says the Lord, “but the time is coming
when I will destroy Babylon’s idols.
The groans of her wounded people
will be heard throughout the land.
53 Though Babylon reaches as high as the heavens
and makes her fortifications incredibly strong,
I will still send enemies to plunder her.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
Babylon’s Complete Destruction
54 “Listen! Hear the cry of Babylon,
the sound of great destruction from the land of the Babylonians.
55 For the Lord is destroying Babylon.
He will silence her loud voice.
Waves of enemies pound against her;
the noise of battle rings through the city.
56 Destroying armies come against Babylon.
Her mighty men are captured,
and their weapons break in their hands.
For the Lord is a God who gives just punishment;
he always repays in full.
57 I will make her officials and wise men drunk,
along with her captains, officers, and warriors.
They will fall asleep
and never wake up again!”
says the King, whose name is
the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
58 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:
“The thick walls of Babylon will be leveled to the ground,
and her massive gates will be burned.
The builders from many lands have worked in vain,
for their work will be destroyed by fire!”

35 May the violence(A) done to our flesh[a] be on Babylon,”
say the inhabitants of Zion.
“May our blood be on those who live in Babylonia,”
says Jerusalem.(B)
36 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“See, I will defend your cause(C)
and avenge(D) you;
I will dry up(E) her sea
and make her springs dry.
37 Babylon will be a heap of ruins,
a haunt(F) of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,(G)
a place where no one lives.(H)
38 Her people all roar like young lions,(I)
they growl like lion cubs.
39 But while they are aroused,
I will set out a feast for them
and make them drunk,(J)
so that they shout with laughter—
then sleep forever(K) and not awake,”
declares the Lord.(L)
40 “I will bring them down
like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats.(M)
41 “How Sheshak[b](N) will be captured,(O)
the boast of the whole earth seized!
How desolate(P) Babylon will be
among the nations!
42 The sea will rise over Babylon;
its roaring waves(Q) will cover her.
43 Her towns will be desolate,
a dry and desert(R) land,
a land where no one lives,
through which no one travels.(S)
44 I will punish Bel(T) in Babylon
and make him spew out(U) what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
And the wall(V) of Babylon will fall.
45 “Come out(W) of her, my people!
Run(X) for your lives!
Run from the fierce anger(Y) of the Lord.
46 Do not lose heart(Z) or be afraid(AA)
when rumors(AB) are heard in the land;
one rumor comes this year, another the next,
rumors of violence in the land
and of ruler against ruler.
47 For the time will surely come
when I will punish the idols(AC) of Babylon;
her whole land will be disgraced(AD)
and her slain will all lie fallen within her.(AE)
48 Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
will shout(AF) for joy over Babylon,
for out of the north(AG)
destroyers(AH) will attack her,”
declares the Lord.
49 “Babylon must fall because of Israel’s slain,
just as the slain in all the earth
have fallen because of Babylon.(AI)
50 You who have escaped the sword,
leave(AJ) and do not linger!
Remember(AK) the Lord in a distant land,(AL)
and call to mind Jerusalem.”
51 “We are disgraced,(AM)
for we have been insulted
and shame covers our faces,
because foreigners have entered
the holy places of the Lord’s house.”(AN)
52 “But days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will punish her idols,(AO)
and throughout her land
the wounded will groan.(AP)
53 Even if Babylon ascends to the heavens(AQ)
and fortifies her lofty stronghold,
I will send destroyers(AR) against her,”
declares the Lord.
54 “The sound of a cry(AS) comes from Babylon,
the sound of great destruction(AT)
from the land of the Babylonians.[c]
55 The Lord will destroy Babylon;
he will silence(AU) her noisy din.
Waves(AV) of enemies will rage like great waters;
the roar of their voices will resound.
56 A destroyer(AW) will come against Babylon;
her warriors will be captured,
and their bows will be broken.(AX)
For the Lord is a God of retribution;
he will repay(AY) in full.
57 I will make her officials(AZ) and wise(BA) men drunk,(BB)
her governors, officers and warriors as well;
they will sleep(BC) forever and not awake,”
declares the King,(BD) whose name is the Lord Almighty.
58 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

Isaiah 47:10-15
New Living Translation
10 “You felt secure in your wickedness.
‘No one sees me,’ you said.
But your ‘wisdom’ and ‘knowledge’ have led you astray,
and you said, ‘I am the only one, and there is no other.’
11 So disaster will overtake you,
and you won’t be able to charm it away.
Calamity will fall upon you,
and you won’t be able to buy your way out.
A catastrophe will strike you suddenly,
one for which you are not prepared.
12 “Now use your magical charms!
Use the spells you have worked at all these years!
Maybe they will do you some good.
Maybe they can make someone afraid of you.
13 All the advice you receive has made you tired.
Where are all your astrologers,
those stargazers who make predictions each month?
Let them stand up and save you from what the future holds.
14 But they are like straw burning in a fire;
they cannot save themselves from the flame.
You will get no help from them at all;
their hearth is no place to sit for warmth.
15 And all your friends,
those with whom you’ve done business since childhood,
will go their own ways,
turning a deaf ear to your cries.
Isaiah 47:10-15
New International Version
Isaiah 47:10-15
New International Version
10 You have trusted(A) in your wickedness
and have said, ‘No one sees me.’(B)
Your wisdom(C) and knowledge mislead(D) you
when you say to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
11 Disaster(E) will come upon you,
and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly(F) come upon you.
12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,(G)
which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror.
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!(H)
Let your astrologers(I) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(J) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(K)
the fire(L) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.(M)
These are not coals for warmth;
this is not a fire to sit by.
15 That is all they are to you—
these you have dealt with
and labored(N) with since childhood.
All of them go on in their error;
there is not one that can save(O) you.
