| 11 | "Though you rejoice, though you exult, O plunderers of my heritage, though you are wanton as a heifer at grass, and neigh like stallions, | The fall of Babylon. Jr.50.11-16 | כִּי {כ= תִשְׂמְחִי} {ק= תִשְׂמְחוּ} כִּי {כ= תַעֲלְזִי} {ק= תַעַלְזוּ} שֹׁסֵי נַחֲלָתִי כִּי {כ= תָפוּשִׁי} {ק= תָפוּשׁוּ} כְּעֶגְלָה דָשָׁה {כ= וְתִצְהֲלִי} {ק= וְתִצְהֲלוּ} כָּאֲבִּרִים׃ |
| 12 | your mother shall be utterly shamed, and she who bore you shall be disgraced. Lo, she shall be the last of the nations, a wilderness dry and desert. | בֹּושָׁה אִםְּכֶם מְאֹד חָפְרָה יֹולַדְתְּכֶם הִנֵּה אַחֲרִית גֹּויִם מִדְבָּר צִיָּה וַעֲרָבָה׃ | |
| 13 | Because of the wrath of the LORD she shall not be inhabited, but shall be an utter desolation; every one who passes by Babylon shall be appalled, and hiss because of all her wounds. | מִקֶּצֶף יְהוָה לֹא תֵשֵׁב וְהָיְתָה שְׁמָמָה כֻּלָּהּ כֹּל עֹבֵר עַל־בָּבֶל יִשֹּׁם וְיִשְׁרֹק עַל־כָּל־מַכֹּותֶיהָ׃ | |
| 14 | Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all you that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the LORD. | עִרְכוּ עַל־בָּבֶל סָבִיב כָּל־דֹּרְכֵי קֶשֶׁת יְדוּ אֵלֶיהָ אַל־תַּחְמְלוּ אֶל־חֵץ כִּי לַיהוָה חָטָאָה׃ | |
| 15 | Raise a shout against her round about, she has surrendered; her bulwarks have fallen, her walls are thrown down. For this is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance on her, do to her as she has done. | הָרִיעוּ עָלֶיהָ סָבִיב נָתְנָה יָדָהּ נָפְלוּ {כ= אַשְׁוִיֹּתֶיהָ} {ק= אָשְׁיֹותֶיהָ} נֶהֶרְסוּ חֹומֹותֶיהָ כִּי נִקְמַת יְהוָה הִיא הִנָּקְמוּ בָהּ כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשְׂתָה עֲשׂוּ־לָהּ׃ | |
| 16 | Cut off from Babylon the sower, and the one who handles the sickle in time of harvest; because of the sword of the oppressor, every one shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to his own land. | כִּרְתוּ זֹורֵעַ מִבָּבֶל וְתֹפֵשׂ מַגָּל בְּעֵת קָצִיר מִפְּנֵי חֶרֶב הַיֹּונָה אִישׁ אֶל־עַמֹּו יִפְנוּ וְאִישׁ לְאַרְצֹו יָנֻסוּ׃ ס | |
