43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a
wilderness, a land in which no man dwells, neither does
any ben adam pass by it.
44 And I will punish Bel in Bavel, 2316 and I will bring
forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up:
and the nations shall not flow together any more to him:
yes, the wall of Bavel shall fall.
45 My people, come out of the midst of her, 2317 and
deliver every man his own being from the fierce anger of
vuvh.
46 And lest your lev faint, and you fear for the rumor that
shall be heard in the land; a rumor shall both come one
year, and after that in another year shall come a rumor,
and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47 Therefore, see, the days come, that I will bring
mishpat upon the carved images of Bavel: and her whole
land shall be ashamed, and all her slain shall fall in the
midst of her.
48 Then the shamayim and the earth, and all that is in it,
shall shir for Bavel: for the plunderers shall come to her
from the north, says vuvh.
49 As Bavel has caused the slain of Yisrael to fall, so at
Bavel shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 You that have escaped the sword, go away, do not
stand still: remember vuvh far off, 2318 and let
Yahrushalayim come into your mind. 2319
51 We are ashamed, because we have heard reproach:
shame has covered our faces: for gerim have come into
the kadosh rooms of vuvh's Bayit.
52 Therefore, see, the days come, says vuvh, that I will do
mishpat upon her carved images: and through all her
land the wounded shall groan.
53 Though Bavel should mount up to the shamayim, and
though she should fortify the heights of her strength, yet
from Me shall plunderers come to her, says vuvh.
54 A sound of a cry comes from Bavel, and great
destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
55 Because vuvh has plundered Bavel, and destroyed out
of her the great voice; 2320 when her waves do roar like
great mayim, a noise of their voice is uttered:
56 Because the plunderer has come upon her, even upon
Bavel, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their
bows is broken: for vuvh the El of repayments shall surely
repay her.
57 And I will make her leaders drunk, and her wise men,
her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and
they shall sleep an everlasting sleep, and not wake, 2321
says the Melech, whose Name is vuvh tzevaoth.
58 This says vuvh tzevaoth; The broad walls of Bavel
shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be
burned with fire; and the people shall labor in vain, and
the nations shall be weary with her fire.
59 The word which Yirmeyahu the navi commanded
Serayahu the son of Neriyah, the son of Maaseyah, when
he went with Tzidkiyahu the melech of Yahudah into
Bavel in the fourth year of his malchut. And this
Serayahu was an army commander.
60 So Yirmeyahu wrote in a scroll all the evil that should
come upon Bavel, even all these words that are written
against Bavel.
61 And Yirmeyahu said to Serayahu, When you come to
Bavel, and shall see, and shall read all these words;
62 Then shall you say, O vuvh, you have spoken against
YIRMEYAHU - JEREMIAH
- 341 -
this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither
man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate le-olam-va-ed.
63 And it shall be, when you have made an end of reading
this scroll, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into
the midst of the River Euphrates:
64 And you shall say, Like this shall Bavel sink, and shall
not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they
shall be weary. Up to here are the words of Yirmeyahu.

2322 Tzidkiyahu was twenty-one years old when he
began to rule, and he reigned eleven years in
Yahrushalayim. And his eema's name was Hamutal the
daughter of Yirmeyahu of Livnah.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of vuvh,
according to all that Yahuyakim had done.
3 For through the anger of vuvh it came to pass in
Yahrushalayim and Yahudah, until He had cast them out
from His presence, that Tzidkiyahu rebelled against the
melech of Bavel.
4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his malchut, in
the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that
Nevuchadnetzar melech of Bavel came, he and all his
army, against Yahrushalayim, and camped against it, and
built siege walls against it all around.
5 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of melech
Tzidkiyahu.
6 And in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month,
the famine was heavy in the city, so that there was no
lechem for the people of the land.
7 Then the city wall was broken, and all the men of war
fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the derech
of the gate between the two walls, which was by the
melech's gan - now the Chaldeans were by the city all
around - and they went by the derech of the desert plain.
8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the melech,
and overtook Tzidkiyahu in the plains of Yericho; and all
his army was scattered from him.
9 Then they took the melech, and carried him up to the
melech of Bavel to Rivlah in the land of Hamath; where
he pronounced mishpat upon him. 2323
10 And the melech of Bavel killed the sons of Tzidkiyahu
before his eyes: he killed also all the leaders of Yahudah
in Rivlah.
11 Then he poked out the eyes of Tzidkiyahu; and the
melech of Bavel bound him in chains, and carried him to
Bavel, and put him in prison until the day of his death.
12 Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month,
2324 which was the nineteenth year of Nevuchadnetzar
melech of Bavel, came Nevuzaradan, captain of the
guard, who served the melech of Bavel, into
Yahrushalayim,
13 And he burned the Bayit of vuvh, and the melech's
bayit; and all the houses of Yahrushalayim, and all the
houses of the great men, he burned with fire:
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the
captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of
Yahrushalayim all around.
15 Then Nevuzaradan the captain of the guard carried
away into exile certain of the poor people, and the
remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those
that defected to the melech of Bavel, and the rest of the
multitude.
16 But Nevuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain
