The Lord’s Anger Against Nineveh
Jeremiah 51:35-58
King James Version
Jeremiah 51:35-58
King James Version
35 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.
36 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
38 They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.
39 In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the Lord.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
44 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.
45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.
46 And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47 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.
48 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.
49 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house.
52 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
53 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.
54 A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
55 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:
56 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.
57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
58 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.

Jeremiah 51:35-58
New International Version
Jeremiah 51:35-58
New International Version
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:

40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
42 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.

Isaiah 47:10-15
King James Version
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

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.
