A SWORD IS UPON THE LIARS

 JEREMIAH 50:36-46

 

A SWORD IS UPON THE LIARS;
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; 
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 
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 
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 
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
