And it was when seventy years were filled up, I will review over the king of Babel and upon this nation, says Jehovah, their iniquity, and upon the land of the Chaldeans, and I set it for eternal desolations And I brought upon this land all the words I spake against it, all being in this book which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations. For many nations they also served upon them, and great kings: and I requited to them according to their work and according to the doings of their hands. For thus said Jehovah God of Israel to me: Take the cup of wine of this wrath from my hand, and cause all the nations which I sent thee to them to drink it And they drank and they staggered, and they were mad from the face of the sword which I sent in the midst of them. And I shall take the cup from the hand of Jehovah, and I shall cause all the nations. which Jehovah sent me to them to drink. Jerusalem and the cities of Judah and her kings, her chiefs, to give them for a waste and for a desolation, and for a hissing and for a cursing; as this day. Pharaoh king of Egypt and his servants, and his chiefs, and all his people. And all the intermingled, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the rovers, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, Edom and Moab and the sons of Ammon,

All the earth rested, having quiet: they broke forth a rejoicing. Also the cypresses rejoiced at thee, the cedars of Lebanon: From that time thou wert laid down, he cutting off will not come up against us. Hades from beneath was moved for thee to meet thy coming: it roused the shades for thee, all the leaders of the earth: it raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they will answer and say to thee, Also thou wert weak as we; thou wert made like to us. Thy grandeur was brought down to hades, the sound of thy harps: the worm was spread under thee, and worms covering thee.

And thou saidst in thy heart, I will go up to the heavens; from above to the stars of God I will lift up my throne, and I will sit upon the mountain of appointment in the thighs of the north. I will go up upon the heights of the cloud: I will become like the Most High. But to hades shalt thou come down, to the thighs of the pit They seeing thee shall look upon thee, they shall attend to thee. This the man moving the earth, shaking kingdoms: Setting the habitable globe as a desert, and destroying its cities: for his bound opening not the house.

And thou wert east out of thy grave as a sprout abhorred, a garment of the slain thrust through with the sword, and going down to the stones of the pit as a corpse trodden down. Thou shalt not be united with them in the grave, for thou destroyedst thy land, and didst slay thy people: the seed of those doing evil shall not be called forever. Prepare slaughter for his sons, for the iniquity of their fathers; they shall not rise and possess the land, and fill the face of the habitable globe with cities.

My heart wandered; trembling made me afraid: the evening twilight of my desire he put to me for fear. Set in order the table; view the watch-tower; eat, drink: arise ye chiefs, anoint the shield. For thus said Jehovah to me, Go set up a watchman, he shall announce what he shall see. He will see a chariot, a pair of horse men, the rider of an ass, the rider of a camel; and listening, he listened with much attention. And he will call, A lion: on the watch-tower my lord, I stand continually in the day, and upon my watch I stand all the night And behold, here came a chariot, a man, a pair of horsemen.

And ye ate the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. And I laid waste your high places, and I cut off your images, and I gave your carcasses upon the carcasses of your blocks, and my soul abhorred you. And I gave your cities a desert, and I laid waste your holy places, and I will not smell upon the odor of your sweetness.

And we heard not to thy servants the prophets who spake in thy name to our kings and our chiefs and our fathers, and to all the people of the earth. To thee, O Jehovah, justice, and to us shame of face, as this day to the men of Judah, and to those dwelling in Jerusalem, and to all Israel being near and being far off, in all the lands where thou didst thrust them there in their transgression which they transgressed against thee. O Jehovah, to us shame of face, to our kings, to our chiefs, and to our fathers, that we sinned against thee. To Jehovah our God compassion and forgivenesses, for we rebelled against him.
