A SWORD IS UPON THE LIARS
JEREMIAH 50:36-46
A SWORD IS UPON THE LIARS;
AND THEY SHALL DOTE:
AND THEY SHALL DOTE:
A SWORD IS UPON HER MIGHTY MEN;
AND THEY SHALL BE DISMAYED.
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.
A DROUGHT IS UPON HER WATERS;
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.
THEREFORE THE WILD BEASTS
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.
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.
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.
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.
THE KING OF BABYLON HATH
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.
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?
THEREFORE HEAR YE THE COUNSEL
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.
AT THE NOISE OF THE TAKING
OF BABYLON
THE EARTH IS MOVED,
AND
THE CRY IS HEARD AMONG
THE NATIONS.
LOVE
