Jeremiah 50:30–34

Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares, and all her soldiers shall be destroyed on that day, declares the Lord.

“Behold, I am against you, O proud one,

declares the Lord God of hosts,

for your day has come,

the time when I will punish you.

The proud one shall stumble and fall,

with none to raise him up,

and I will kindle a fire in his cities,

and it will devour all that is around him.

“Thus says the Lord of hosts: The people of Israel are oppressed, and the people of Judah with them. All who took them captive have held them fast; they refuse to let them go. Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name. He will surely plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, but unrest to the inhabitants of Babylon.

Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets;

all her soldiers will be silenced in that day,”

declares the Lord.

“See, I am against you, you arrogant one,”

declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty,

“for your day has come,

the time for you to be punished.

The arrogant one will stumble and fall

and no one will help her up;

I will kindle a fire in her towns

that will consume all who are around her.”

This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“The people of Israel are oppressed,

and the people of Judah as well.

All their captors hold them fast,

refusing to let them go.

Yet their Redeemer is strong;

the Lord Almighty is his name.

He will vigorously defend their cause

so that he may bring rest to their land,

but unrest to those who live in Babylon.

Therefore, her young men will fall

in her public squares;

all the warriors will perish in that day.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

Look, I am against you, you arrogant one—

this is the declaration of

the Lord God of Armies—

for your day has come,

the time when I will punish you.

The arrogant will stumble and fall

with no one to pick him up.

I will set fire to his cities,

and it will consume everything around him.

This is what the Lord of Armies says:

Israelites and Judeans alike have been oppressed.

All their captors hold them fast;

they refuse to release them.

Their Redeemer is strong;

the Lord of Armies is his name.

He will fervently champion their cause

so that he might bring rest to the earth

but turmoil to those who live in Babylon.

Her young men will fall in the streets and die.

Her soldiers will all be killed,”

says the Lord.

“See, I am your enemy, you arrogant people,”

says the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

“Your day of reckoning has arrived—

the day when I will punish you.

O land of arrogance, you will stumble and fall,

and no one will raise you up.

For I will light a fire in the cities of Babylon

that will burn up everything around them.”

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:

“The people of Israel and Judah have been wronged.

Their captors hold them and refuse to let them go.

But the one who redeems them is strong.

His name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

He will defend them

and give them rest again in Israel.

But for the people of Babylon

there will be no rest!

Therefore her young men will fall in her public squares,

and all her soldiers will perish on that day,” declares Yahweh.

“Look, I am against you, O arrogant one,”

declares Lord Yahweh of hosts,

“for your day has come,

the time when I will punish you.

And the arrogant one will stumble and fall,

and there is no one who raises him up.

And I will kindle a fire in his cities,

and it will devour everything around him.”

Thus says Yahweh of hosts:

“The people of Israel are oppressed,

and the people of Judah likewise,

for all their captors have seized them,

they refuse to let them go free.

Their redeemer is strong,

his name is Yahweh of hosts.

Surely he will plead their case,

in order to make peace for the earth,

but to cause unrest to the inhabitants of Babylon.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
