## Jeremiah 50:1-64 in Context (Verses 1–46 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/1) The word that the LORD spake against Babylon *and* against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/2) Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, *and* conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/3) For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/4) ¶ In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/5) They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, *saying*, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant *that* shall not be forgotten.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/6) My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away *on* the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/7) All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/8) Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/9) ¶ For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows *shall be* as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/10) And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/11) Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;**
 
 [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/12) Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations *shall be* a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/13) Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/14) Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/15) Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it *is* the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/16) Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/17) ¶ Israel *is* a scattered sheep; the lions have driven *him* away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/18) Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/19) And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/20) In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and *there shall be* none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/21) ¶ Go up against the land of Merathaim, *even* against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.**
 
 [22 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/22) A sound of battle *is* in the land, and of great destruction.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/23) How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
 
 [24 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/24) I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/25) The LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this *is* the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/26) Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.**
 
 [27 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/27) Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/28) The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/29) Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/30) Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/31) Behold, I *am* against thee, *O thou* most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time *that* I will visit thee.*
 
 [32 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/32) And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.*
 
 [33 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/33) ¶ Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah *were* oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/34) Their Redeemer *is* strong; the LORD of hosts *is* his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/35) ¶ A sword *is* upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise *men*.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/36) A sword *is* upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword *is* upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.*
 
 [37 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/37) A sword *is* upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that *are* in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword *is* upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/38) A drought *is* upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it *is* the land of graven images, and they are mad upon *their* idols.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/39) Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell *there*, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/40) 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 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/41) 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 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/42) 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.
 
 [43 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/43) The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, *and* pangs as of a woman in travail.
 
 [44 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/44) Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who *is* a chosen *man, that* I may appoint over her? for who *is* like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who *is* that shepherd that will stand before me?*
 
 [45 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/45) Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make *their* habitation desolate with them.
 
 [46 ](/kjv/jeremiah/50/46) At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
