10. Exodus II • Reading all of Jer. 51 saw some interesting things… • Jer 51:1-5 • (1) Thus said יהוה, “See, I am stirring up the spirit of a destroyer against Baḇel, against those who dwell in Lĕb – My opponents. • (2) And I shall send winnowers to Baḇel, who shall winnow her and empty her land. For they shall be against her all around, in the day of evil. • (3) “Let the archer draw his bow, and let him stand ready in his armour. Do not spare her young men, put all her army under the ban. • (4) “And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the pierced-through in her streets. • (5) “For neither Yisra’ĕl nor Yehuḏah is widowed by his Elohim, יהוה of hosts, though their land has been filled with sin against the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl.”

11. Jer 51:6-12 • (6) Flee from the midst of Baḇel, and let each one save his life! Do not be cut off in her crookedness, for this is the time of the vengeance of יהוה, the recompense He is repaying her. • (7) Baḇel was a golden cup in the hand of יהוה, making drunk all the earth1. The nations drank her wine, that is why the nations went mad! Footnote: 1Rev. 17:1-18. • (8) Baḇel shall suddenly fall and be broken. Howl for her! Take balm for her pain – if so be, she might be healed. • (9) We would have healed Baḇel, but she is not healed. Let us leave her and each go to his own land, for her judgment reaches to the heavens and is lifted up to the clouds. • (10) יהוה has brought forth our righteousness. Come and let us relate in Tsiyon the work of יהוה our Elohim. • (11) Polish the arrows! Put on the shields! יהוה has stirred up the spirit of the sovereigns of the Medes. For His plan is against Baḇel to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of יהוה, the vengeance for His Hĕḵal. • (12) Lift up a banner on the walls of Baḇel, strengthen the watch, station the watchmen, prepare the ambush. For יהוה has both planned and done what He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Baḇel.

12. Jer 51:13-18 • (13) You who dwell upon many waters, great in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your greedy gain. • (14) יהוה of hosts has sworn by Himself, “I shall certainly fill you with men, as with locusts, and they shall lift up a shout against you.” • (15) He made the earth by His power, He established the world by His wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by His understanding. • (16) When He gives forth His voice the waters in the heavens roar, and He makes vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightnings for the rain, and He brings the wind out of His treasuries. • (17) All mankind has become too brutish to know, every smith has been put to shame by the carved image, for his moulded image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. • (18) They are worthless, a work of mockery. In the time of their punishment they perish. • The next portion starts to get more interesting…keep in mind vs. 14

13. Jer 51:19-26 • (19) The Portion of Ya’aqoḇ is not like them, for He is the Maker of all, and Yisra’ĕl is the tribe of His inheritance. יהוה of hosts is His Name. • (20) “You are My battle-axe, weapons of battle, and with you I shall break nations in pieces, and with you I shall destroy reigns. • (21) “And with you I shall break in pieces the horse and its rider, and with you I shall break in pieces the chariot and its rider. • (22) “And with you I shall break in pieces man and woman, and with you I shall break in pieces old and young, and with you I shall break in pieces the young man and the maiden. • (23) “And with you I shall break in pieces the shepherd and his flock, and with you I shall break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen. And with you I shall break in pieces governors and rulers. • (24) “And I shall repay Baḇel and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all the evil they have done in Tsiyon before your eyes,” declares יהוה. • (25) “See, I am against you, O destroying mountain, who destroys all the earth,” declares יהוה. “And I shall stretch out My hand against you. And I shall roll you down from the rocks, and make you a burnt mountain. • (26) “And they shall not take from you a stone for a corner nor a stone for a foundation, but you shall be a waste forever,” declares יהוה.

14. Jer 51:27-33 • (27) Lift up a banner in the land, blow the ram’s horn among the nations! Prepare the nations against her, call the reigns together against her: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander against her, bring up horses like hairy locusts. • (28) Separate the nations against her, with the sovereigns of the Medes, its governors and all its rulers, all the land of his rule, • (29) so that the land shakes and writhes in pain. For every plan of יהוה shall be established against Baḇel, to make the land of Baḇel a ruin, without inhabitant. • (30) The mighty men of Baḇel have ceased to fight, they remained in their strongholds. Their might has failed, they became like women, they have burned her dwelling places. The bars of her gate have been broken. • (31) One runner runs to meet another, and one reporter to meet another, to report to the sovereign of Baḇel that his city is taken on all sides, • (32) and the fords have been captured, and they have burned the reeds with fire, and the soldiers are startled. • (33) For thus said יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “The daughter of Baḇel is like a threshing-floor at the time it is trodden. Yet a little while and the time of her harvest shall come.”

15. Jer 51:34-45 • (34) “Neḇuḵaḏretstsar the sovereign of Baḇel has devoured us, he has crushed us, he has made us an empty vessel, he has swallowed us up like a monster. He has filled his stomach with my delicacies, he has driven us away. • (35) “Let the violence done to me and my flesh be upon Baḇel,” says the inhabitant of Tsiyon. And, “Let my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” says Yerushalayim. • (36) Therefore thus said יהוה, “See, I am pleading your case. And I shall take vengeance for you and dry up her sea and make her fountain dry. • (37) “And Baḇel shall become a heap, a habitation of jackals, an astonishment and a hissing, without inhabitant. • (38) “Together they roar like lions, they shall growl like lions’ cubs. • (39) “In their heat I prepare their feasts. And I shall make them drunk, so that they rejoice, and sleep a neverending sleep and not awake,” declares יהוה. • (40) “I shall bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats. • (41) “Oh, how Shĕshaḵ has been captured, the praise of all the earth been seized! How Baḇel has become a ruin among the nations! • (42) “The sea has risen over Baḇel, she has been covered with the roaring of its waves. • (43) “Her cities have become a ruin, a dry land and a desert, a land where no one dwells, neither does son of man pass by it. • (44) “And I shall punish Bĕl in Baḇel. And I shall make him spew out what he has swallowed, and nations shall no longer stream to him. Even the wall of Baḇel shall fall. • (45) “Come out1 of her midst, My people! And let everyone deliver his being from the burning displeasure of יהוה. Footnote: 1Rev. 18:4.

16. Jer 51:46-56 • (46) “And lest your heart grow faint, and you fear the report heard in the land – for a report shall come one year, and after that, in another year a report shall come, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler – • (47) therefore see, the days are coming that I shall bring punishment on the carved images of Baḇel, and all her land shall be put to shame, and all her slain fall in her midst. • (48) “And the heavens and the earth and all that is in them shall shout for joy over Baḇel, for the ravagers shall come to her from the north,” declares יהוה. • (49) As Baḇel is to fall for the slain of Yisra’ĕl, so for Baḇel the slain of all the earth shall fall. • (50) You who have escaped the sword, go away! Do not stand still! Remember יהוה from afar, and let Yerushalayim come to your heart. • (51) We are ashamed because we have heard reproach. Shame has covered our faces, for strangers have come into the set-apart places of the House of יהוה1. Footnote: 1Ps. 79:1-7, Lam 1:10, Dan. 8:13, Dan. 11:31, Mt. 24:15. • (52) “Therefore see, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “that I shall bring punishment on her carved images, while the wounded groan throughout all her land. • (53) “Though Baḇel should mount up to the heavens, and though she should make the height of her strength inaccessible, ravagers shall come to her from Me,” declares יהוה. • (54) Listen! A cry from Baḇel, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans, • (55) because יהוה is ravaging Baḇel, and shall silence her loud voice. And her waves shall roar like great waters, the noise of their voice shall resound, • (56) because the ravager shall come against her, against Baḇel, and her mighty men shall be captured. Every one of their bows shall be broken, for יהוה is the Ěl of recompense, He shall certainly repay.

17. Jer 51:57-64 • (57) “And I shall make her rulers drunk, and her wise men, her governors, and her deputies, and her mighty men. And they shall sleep a lasting sleep, and not awake,” declares the Sovereign, whose Name is יהוה of hosts. • (58) Thus said יהוה of hosts, “The broad walls of Baḇel are completely demolished, and her high gates are burned with fire, and peoples labour in vain, and the nations weary themselves for fire.” • (59) The word that Yirmeyahu the prophet commanded Serayah son of Nĕriyah, son of Maḥsĕyah, when he went with Tsiḏqiyahu the sovereign of Yehuḏah to Baḇel in the fourth year of his reign. And Serayah was a quartermaster. • (60) So Yirmeyahu wrote in a book all the evil that would come upon Baḇel, all these words which have been written concerning Baḇel. • (61) And Yirmeyahu said to Serayah, “When you come to Baḇel and see it, and read all these words, • (62) then you shall say, ‘O יהוה, You have spoken concerning this place to cut it off, so that none shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, for it is a ruin forever.’ • (63) “And it shall be, when you have ended reading this book, that you shall tie a stone to it and throw it into the midst of the Euphrates, • (64) and shall say, ‘So does Baḇel sink and not rise from the evil that I am bringing upon her, and they shall weary themselves.’ ” Thus far are the words of Yirmeyahu.

18. Isa 43:1-10 • (1) But now, thus said יהוה, your Creator, O Ya’aqoḇ, and He who formed you, O Yisra’ĕl, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name, you are Mine. • (2) “When you pass through the waters, I am with you; and through rivers, they do not overflow you. When you walk through fire, you are not scorched, and a flame does not burn you. • (3) “For I am יהוה your Elohim, the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, your Saviour; I gave Mitsrayim for your ransom, Kush and Seḇa in your place. • (4) “Since you were precious in My eyes, you have been esteemed, and I have loved you. And I give men in your place, and peoples for your life. • (5) “Do not fear, for I am with you. I shall bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west. • (6) “I shall say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth – • (7) all those who are called by My Name, whom I have created, formed, even made for My esteem.” • (8) He shall bring out a blind people who have eyes, and deaf ones who have ears. • (9) All the nations shall be assembled, and the peoples be gathered. Who among them declares this, and show us former events? Let them give their witnesses, to be declared right; or let them hear and say, “It is truth.” • (10) “You are My witnesses,” declares יהוה, “And My servant whom I have chosen, so that you know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no Ěl formed, nor after Me there is none.

19. Isa 43:11-21 • (11) “I, I am יהוה, and besides Me there is no saviour. • (12) “I, I have declared and saved, and made known, and there was no foreign mighty one among you. And you are My witnesses,” declares יהוה, “that I am Ěl. • (13) “Even from the day I am He, and no one delivers out of My hand. I work, and who turns it back?” • (14) Thus said יהוה, your Redeemer, the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, “For your sake I shall send to Baḇel, and bring them all down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships. • (15) “I am יהוה, your Set-apart One, Creator of Yisra’ĕl, your Sovereign.” • (16) Thus said יהוה, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters, • (17) who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power (they lie down together, they do not rise, they have been extinguished, they have been quenched like a wick): • (18) “Do not remember the former events, nor consider the events of old. • (19) “See, I am doing what is new, let it now spring forth. Do you not know it? I am even making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. • (20) “The beast of the field esteems Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I have given waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen, • (21) this people I have formed for Myself, let them relate My praise.

20. Isa 43:22-28 • (22) “But you have not called on Me, O Ya’aqoḇ, for you have been weary of Me, O Yisra’ĕl. • (23) “You have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings, nor have you esteemed Me with your slaughterings. I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings, nor wearied you with incense. • (24) “You have not bought Me sweet cane with silver, nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your slaughterings. You have only burdened Me with your sins, you have wearied Me with your crookednesses. • (25) “I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and remember your sins no more. • (26) “Remind Me, let us enter into judgment, together; relate, that you might be declared right. • (27) “Your first father sinned, and your interpreters have transgressed against Me. • (28) “So I have profaned the chief ones of the set-apart place, and I have delivered up Ya’aqoḇ to the curse, and Yisra’ĕl to scorn.

This poetical title is also found in Dt. 32:15, 33:5 & 33:26. • (3) ‘For I pour water on the thirsty, and floods on the dry ground. I pour My Spirit on your seed, and My blessing on your offspring, • (4) and they shall spring up among the grass like willows by streams of water.’ • (5) “One says, ‘I belong to יהוה; another calls himself by the name of Ya’aqoḇ; another writes with his hand, ‘Unto יהוה,’ and names himself by the name of Yisra’ĕl. • (6) “Thus said יהוה, Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, and his Redeemer, יהוה of hosts, ‘I am the First and I am the Last, besides Me there is no Elohim. • (7) ‘And who is like Me?
