“The daughter of Babylon is alike a threshing floor
When bit is time to thresh her;
Yet a little while
cAnd the time of her harvest will come.”
Has adevoured me, he has crushed me;
He has made me an bempty vessel,
He has swallowed me up like a monster;
He has filled his stomach with my delicacies,
He has spit me out.
The inhabitant of Zion will say;
“And my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea!”
Jerusalem will say.
“Behold, aI will plead your case and take vengeance for you.
bI will dry up her sea and make her springs dry.
A dwelling place for jackals,
bAn astonishment and a hissing,
Without an inhabitant.
aI will make them drunk,
That they may rejoice,
And sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says the Lord.
Oh, how bthe praise of the whole earth is seized!
How Babylon has become desolate among the nations!
A dry land and a wilderness,
A land where bno one dwells,
Through which no son of man passes.
| << Jeremiah 51:34 | Jeremiah 51:36 >> |
