1Yo, God’s like, “I’m about to send a savage wind against Babylon and all the peeps vibin’ there who wanna come at me.”

2Gonna send some fanners to stir up Babylon and clear her out, ‘cause when trouble hits, it’s gonna be a whole squad against her.

3If they try to flex, let the archers pull back their bows, and don’t hold back on her young dudes; wipe out her whole crew, no cap.

4The fallen will hit the ground in Chaldea, and they’ll be pushed through in her streets, fr.

5Israel ain’t been ghosted, and Judah’s still got their God, the Lord of hosts; even though their land is filled with sus vibes against the Holy One of Israel.

6Bounce from Babylon, and save your own soul; don’t get caught up in her sins, ‘cause it’s the time for God to take revenge; He’s about to serve her some justice.

7Babylon was like this lit golden cup in God’s hand, making the whole world tipsy; all the nations drunk off her wine, now they’re acting mad.

8Babylon just fell hard and got wrecked; mourn for her, and bring some balm for her pain, maybe she can heal up.

9We tried to heal Babylon, but she’s beyond saving; ditch her and let’s all dip to our own spots, ‘cause her judgment is sky-high.

10God brought our righteousness to light; let’s pull up and shout out in Zion about the dope things our God’s doing.

11Light up those arrows and grab the shields; the Lord's got the Medes' kings hyped up, ready to take down Babylon. It's all about that divine revenge, periodt.

12Raise the flag on Babylon's walls, make sure the watch is lit, set up those guards, and get the ambushes ready: the Lord's got a plan and he’s making it happen against Babylon's crew.

13Yo, you living by all those waters, stacked with treasures? Your time's up, and your greed's caught up to you.

14The Lord of hosts is like, "I swear on myself, I’m gonna fill you with people like caterpillars, and they're gonna shout at you."

15He flexed and made the earth with his power, built the world with his wisdom, and stretched out the heavens with pure understanding.

16When he speaks, it’s like a wave of water in the skies; he makes the clouds rise up from every corner of the earth, throws down lightning with the rain, and brings the wind from his stash.

17Every dude is kinda clueless with his knowledge; every metalworker is shook by the idols he made: they’re fake, no cap, and there’s no life in them.

18They’re just empty vibes, a total fail: when their time comes, they’re gonna be gone.

19Jacob's portion ain’t like that; he’s the creator of everything, and Israel's his main squad: the Lord of hosts is his name.

20You’re my weapon and battle axe: with you, I'm gonna smash nations and wipe out kingdoms.

21I'ma smash the horse and its rider with you; we’re breaking the chariot and its rider too, no cap.

22With you, I'm breaking down the dudes and the ladies; old and young? Yeah, we're smashing them too, fr.

23I’ll wreck the shepherd and his crew with you; we’re taking down the farmer and his oxen too, and the bosses and rulers, periodt.

24Yo, I'm serving up all the bad vibes from Babylon and the Chaldeans for what they did in Zion, says the Lord.

25Check it, I'm coming for you, O savage mountain that wrecks the earth: I'm stretching out my hand and rolling you down, making you a burnt mountain, no cap.

26They ain't gonna grab a stone from you for a corner or a foundation; you’re gonna be empty forever, says the Lord.

27Set up a flag in the land, blast the trumpet for the nations, get them ready against her, gather the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; find a captain to roll out against her, and let the horses come like wild caterpillars.

28Get the nations ready with the kings of the Medes, their captains, and all the rulers in the land, fr.

29The land’s gonna shake and feel that sadness: all of God's plans against Babylon are gonna hit hard, making it desolate with no one around.

30The strong peeps of Babylon are done fighting, chilling in their spots; their power's fizzled out; they’re like women now; they’ve burned down their homes; their gates are smashed.

31One squad's gonna link up with another, and one messenger's gonna vibe with another, to tell the king of Babylon that his city got snatched up.

32And the routes are blocked, they burnt the reeds, and the warriors are shook.

33For the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is like, "Babylon's a threshing floor, time to get to work: harvest season's coming soon, fr."

34Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon totally wrecked me, crushed me, made me feel empty, swallowed me like a dragon, stuffed his face with my good stuff, and tossed me aside.

35The savage stuff done to me and my flesh is on Babylon, Zion's gonna say; and my blood on the Chaldeans, Jerusalem's gonna say.

36So the Lord's got this: "I’m gonna back you up, get revenge for you; I’ll dry up her sea and make her springs run dry."

37Babylon's gonna be a total wreck, a hangout for dragons, a shocker, and a hiss without a soul in sight.

38They’re gonna roar together like lions: they’ll shout like lion cubs.

39In their heat, I’m throwing them a feast, making them lit, so they can vibe hard, sleep forever, and not wake up, says the Lord.

40I’ll bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with the goats.

41Yo, how did Sheshach get wrecked? The whole world is shook, and Babylon's a whole meme now.

42The sea’s crashing on Babylon like, she’s totally drowning in waves, no cap.

43Her cities are straight up ghost towns, just dry land and vibes, no one’s chillin’ there.

44I'm coming for Bel in Babylon, pulling out what he swallowed, and no one’s gonna roll up to him anymore; Babylon's walls are about to crumble.

45Fam, bounce outta there, save your souls from the Lord’s mad vibes.

46Don't let your heart be weak; rumors are gonna hit hard, one year after another, with chaos everywhere, ruler vs. ruler, it’s sus.

47So check it, the days are coming when I’ll judge the idols in Babylon, and the whole place will be a mess, all her fallen will be right there.

48Then the sky and the ground, and everything in it, will vibe for Babylon, 'cause the spoilers are rolling in from the north, says the Lord.

49Just like Babylon made Israel’s peeps fall, all the earth's slain will fall there too, fr.

50If you made it past the sword, dip out, don’t just chill; remember the Lord from a distance, and let Jerusalem be on your mind.

51We’re shook, 'cause we heard the hate: shame got us blushing, 'cause strangers rolled up in the Lord's crib.

52So, check it, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I'm gonna drop judgment on her idols: and all over her land, the wounded gonna be like, “Ugh.”

53Even if Babylon hits the skies, and flexes her strength, spoilers gonna slide in on her, says the Lord, no cap.

54There’s a loud cry from Babylon, and major chaos from the Chaldeans' turf:

55'Cause the Lord wrecked Babylon, took out her big voice; when her waves crash like mad, their noise is wild:

56'Cause the spoiler pulled up on her, even Babylon, and her strong ones got taken down, all their bows snapped: for the Lord God of payback gonna handle it.

57I’m gonna make her princes and wise guys lit, and they gonna hit that eternal snooze, and not wake up, says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

58Thus says the Lord of hosts; Babylon's thick walls gonna be totally wrecked, and her tall gates gonna be lit on fire; the people gonna grind in vain, and the crew in the flames, and they gonna be tired.

59The word that Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah, son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, when he rolled with King Zedekiah of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a chill prince.

60So Jeremiah jotted down in a book all the bad stuff that was gonna hit Babylon, even all these words that are against her.

61Jeremiah was like, "Yo Seraiah, when you roll up to Babylon, check this out and read all these words, fr."

62Then you gotta say, "O Lord, you’re throwing shade at this place, saying it’s gonna be empty, no peeps or animals left, just straight up desolate forever, no cap."

63And when you finish reading this book, tie a stone to it and throw it in the Euphrates, that’s the vibe."

64And you’ll say, "This is how Babylon’s gonna sink, and it ain’t coming back from the bad stuff I’m bringing. They’re gonna be tired of it. That’s the tea from Jeremiah."

1Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;

2And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

3Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.

4Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.

5For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the Lord of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.

6Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

7Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

8Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

9We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

10The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.

11Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.

12Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.

13O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.

14The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.

15He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

16When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

17Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

18They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

19The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.

20Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

21And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;

22With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;

23I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.

24And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the Lord.

25Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.

26And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the Lord.

27Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.

28Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.

29And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.

30The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.

31One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,

32And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

33For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.

34Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.

35The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.

36Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.

37And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.

38They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps.

39In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the Lord.

40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.

41How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!

42The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.

43Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.

44And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

45My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.

46And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.

47Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.

48Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the Lord.

49As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.

50Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.

51We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord’s house.

52Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.

53Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the Lord.

54A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:

55Because the Lord hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

56Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the Lord God of recompences shall surely requite.

57And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

58Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.

59The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.

60So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.

61And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;

62Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.

63And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:

64And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
