Jeremiah 50:27-30
The Message
Jeremiah 50:27-30
The Message
25-28 “I, God, opened my arsenal.
I brought out my weapons of wrath.
The Master, God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
has a job to do in Babylon.
Come at her from all sides!
Break into her granaries!
Shovel her into piles and burn her up.
Leave nothing! Leave no one!
Kill all her young turks.
Send them to their doom!
Doom to them! Yes, Doomsday!
The clock has finally run out on them.
And here’s a surprise:
Runaways and escapees from Babylon
Show up in Zion reporting the news of God’s vengeance,
taking vengeance for my own Temple.
29-30 “Call in the troops against Babylon,
anyone who can shoot straight!
Tighten the noose!
Leave no loopholes!
Give her back as good as she gave,
a dose of her own medicine!
Her brazen insolence is an outrage
against God, The Holy of Israel.
And now she pays: her young strewn dead in the streets,
her soldiers dead, silent forever.” God’s Decree.

Jeremiah 50:27-30
New International Version
27 Kill all her young bulls;(A)
let them go down to the slaughter!(B)
Woe to them! For their day(C) has come,
the time(D) for them to be punished.
28 Listen to the fugitives(E) and refugees from Babylon
declaring in Zion(F)
how the Lord our God has taken vengeance,(G)
vengeance for his temple.(H)
29 “Summon archers against Babylon,
all those who draw the bow.(I)
Encamp all around her;
let no one escape.(J)
Repay(K) her for her deeds;(L)
do to her as she has done.
For she has defied(M) the Lord,
the Holy One(N) of Israel.
30 Therefore, her young men(O) will fall in the streets;
all her soldiers will be silenced in that day,”
declares the Lord.
