Jeremiah 51:24

O daughter of Babylon, you devastated one, How blessed will be the one who repays you With the recompense with which you have recompensed us.

The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz beheld.

Thus says Yahweh to Cyrus His anointed, Whom I have taken hold of by his right hand, To subdue nations before him And to loose the loins of kings, To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:

“Assemble, all of you, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? Yahweh loves him; he will carry out His good pleasure on Babylon, And His arm will be against the Chaldeans.

‘—For many nations and great kings will make slaves of them, even them; and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands—’”

“Chaldea will become spoil; All who take her spoil will have enough,” declares Yahweh.

“How the hammer of the whole earth Has been cut in pieces and broken! How Babylon has become An object of horror among the nations!

For the destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon, And her mighty men will be captured; Their bows are shattered; For Yahweh is a God of recompense, He will fully repay.

You will recompense them, O Yahweh, According to the work of their hands.
