절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Babylon Will Be Destroyed I, the Lord, am sending a wind to destroy the people of Babylonia and Babylon, its capital.	Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;
2	Foreign soldiers will come from every direction, and when the disaster is over, Babylonia will be empty and worthless.	And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
3	I will tell these soldiers, “Attack quickly, before the Babylonians can string their bows or put on their armor. Kill their best soldiers and destroy their army!”	Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
4	Their troops will fall wounded in the streets of Babylon.	Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
5	Everyone in Israel and Judah is guilty. But I, the Lord All-Powerful, their holy God, have not abandoned them.	For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the Lord of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
6	Get out of Babylon! Run for your lives! If you stay, you will be killed when I take revenge on the city and punish it for its sins.	Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
7	Babylon was my golden cup, filled with the wine of my anger. The nations of the world got drunk on this wine and went insane.	Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
8	But suddenly, Babylon will fall and be destroyed. I, the Lord, told the foreigners who lived there, “Weep for the city! Get medicine for its wounds; maybe they will heal.”	Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
9	The foreigners answered, “We have already tried to treat Babylon's wounds, but they would not heal. Come on, let's all go home to our own countries. Nothing is left in Babylonia; everything is destroyed.”	We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
10	The people of Israel said, “Tell everyone in Zion! The Lord has taken revenge for what Babylon did to us.”	The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.
11	The Wants Babylon Destroyed I, the Lord, want Babylon destroyed, because its army destroyed my temple. So, you kings of Media, sharpen your arrows and pick up your shields.	Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
12	Raise the signal flag and attack the city walls. Post more guards. Have soldiers watch the city and set up ambushes. I have made plans to destroy Babylon, and nothing will stop me.	Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13	People of Babylon, you live along the Euphrates River and are surrounded by canals. You are rich, but now the time has come for you to die.	O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
14	I, the Lord All-Powerful, swear by my own life that enemy soldiers will fill your streets like a swarm of locusts. They will shout and celebrate their victory. ()	The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
15	A Hymn of Praise God used his wisdom and power to create the earth and spread out the heavens.	He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
16	The waters in the heavens roar at his command. He makes clouds appear; he sends the wind from his storehouse and makes lightning flash in the rain.	When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
17	People who make idols are stupid! They will be disappointed, because their false gods cannot breathe.	Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18	Idols are merely a joke, and when the time is right, they will be destroyed.	They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19	But the Lord, Israel's God, is all-powerful. He created everything, and he chose Israel to be his very own.	The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.
20	God's Hammer / The said: Babylonia, you were my hammer; I used you to pound nations and break kingdoms,	Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
21	to shatter cavalry and chariots,	And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
22	as well as men and women, young and old,	With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
23	shepherds and their flocks, farmers and their oxen, and governors and leaders.	I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
24	But now, my people will watch, while I repay you for what you did to Zion.	And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the Lord.
25	You destroyed the nations and seem strong as a mountain, but I am your enemy. I might even grab you and roll you off a cliff. When I am finished, you'll only be a pile of scorched bricks.	Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
26	Your stone blocks won't be reused for cornerstones or foundations, and I promise that forever you will be a desert. I, the Lord, have spoken.	And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the Lord.
27	The Nations Will Attack Babylon / The said: Signal the nations to get ready to attack. Raise a flag and blow a trumpet. Send for the armies of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Choose a commander; let the cavalry attack like a swarm of locusts.	Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.
28	Tell the kings and governors, the leaders and the people of the kingdoms of the Medes to prepare for war!	Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
29	The earth twists and turns in torment, because I have decided to make Babylonia a desert where no one can live, and I won't change my mind.	And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
30	The Babylonian soldiers have lost their strength and courage. They stay in their fortresses, unable to fight, while the enemy breaks through the city gates, then sets their homes on fire.	The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.
31	One messenger after another announces to the king, “Babylon has been captured!	One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,
32	The enemy now controls the river crossings! The marshes are on fire! Your army has panicked!”	And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
33	I am the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, and I make this promise— “Soon Babylon will be leveled and packed down like a threshing place at harvest time.”	For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
34	Babylonia Will Pay! The people of Jerusalem say, “King Nebuchadnezzar made us panic. That monster stuffed himself with us and our treasures, leaving us empty— he gobbled up what he wanted and spit out the rest.	Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
35	The people of Babylonia harmed some of us and killed others. Now, Lord, make them pay!”	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	The Will Take Revenge on Babylon My people, I am on your side, and I will take revenge on Babylon. I will cut off its water supply, and its stream will dry up.	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	Babylon will be a pile of rubble where only jackals live, and everyone will be afraid to walk among the ruins.	And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
38	The Babylonians roar and growl like young lions.	They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps.
39	And since they are hungry, I will give them a banquet. They will celebrate, get drunk, then fall asleep, never to wake up!	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 lead them away to die, like sheep, lambs, and goats being led to the butcher.	I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
41	All nations now praise Babylon, but when it is captured, those same nations will be horrified.	How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
42	Babylon's enemies will rise like ocean waves and flood the city.	The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43	Horrible destruction will strike the nearby towns. The land will become a barren desert, where no one can live or even travel.	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	I will punish Marduk, the god of Babylon, and make him vomit out everything he gobbled up. Then nations will no longer bring him gifts, and Babylon's walls will crumble.	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	The Offers Hope to His People Get out of Babylon, my people, and run for your lives, before I strike the city in my anger!	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	Don't be afraid or lose hope, though year after year there are rumors of leaders fighting for control in the city of Babylon.	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	The time will come when I will punish Babylon's false gods. Everyone there will die, and the whole nation will be disgraced,	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	when an army attacks from the north and brings destruction. Then the earth and the heavens and everything in them will celebrate.	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	Babylon must be overthrown, because it slaughtered the people of Israel and of many other nations.	As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50	My people, you escaped death when Jerusalem fell. Now you live far from home, but you should trust me and think about Jerusalem. Leave Babylon! Don't stay!	Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51	You feel ashamed and disgraced, because foreigners have entered my sacred temple.	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	Soon I will send a war to punish Babylon's idols and leave its wounded people moaning everywhere.	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	Although Babylon's walls reach to the sky, the army I send will destroy that city. I, the Lord, have spoken.	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	Babylon Will Be Destroyed / The said: Listen to the cries for help coming from Babylon. Everywhere in the country the sounds of destruction can be heard.	A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
55	The shouts of the enemy, like crashing ocean waves, will drown out Babylon's cries as I level the city.	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	An enemy will attack and destroy Babylon. Its soldiers will be captured and their weapons broken, because I am a God who takes revenge against nations for what they do.	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	I, the Lord All-Powerful, the true King, promise that the officials and advisors, the governors and leaders, and the soldiers of Babylon will get drunk, fall asleep, and never wake up.	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	The thick walls of that city will be torn down, and its huge gates burned. Everything that nation worked so hard to gain will go up in smoke.	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.
59	Jeremiah Gives Seraiah a Scroll During Zedekiah's fourth year as king of Judah, he went to Babylon. And Baruch's brother Seraiah went along as the officer in charge of arranging for places to stay overnight.	The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.
60	Before they left, I wrote on a scroll all the terrible things that would happen to Babylon.	So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
61	I gave the scroll to Seraiah and said: When you get to Babylon, read this scroll aloud,	And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
62	then pray, “Our Lord, you promised to destroy this place and make it into a desert where no people or animals will ever live.”	Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
63	When you finish praying, tie the scroll to a rock and throw it in the Euphrates River. Then say,	And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
64	“This is how Babylon will sink when the Lord destroys it. Everyone in the city will die, and it won't have the strength to rise again.” Jeremiah's writing ends here.	And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
