Jeremiah 51

I decided to do the longest chapter. Glad I did. The overlap with Psalms 135 allowed me to correct some small things. Also it has an overlap with Jeremiah 10.

The role for Israel reflects a frame in the Psalms, נפץ, smash, used in Psalms 2 and 137. You would not hear this if I had not been strict about concordance. What instrument is used for smashing something. I chose sledgehammer for the noun equivalent, but maybe just a smasher. What is the nature of the smashing of nations? It is to lead them and the sledgehammer to truth. Not something we really understand today.

Maybe Babel will be healed (!) repay (v 6, 24 and 56) (שׁלם) is the same word as peace. This is a dialogue. Each verse has an implied speaker. Jeremiah is telling story without identifying speakers or changes in point of view. Imagine speaking in the voice of the speaker, sometimes God, sometimes Israel. It is part of the dialogue between God and his child through the mind of this prophet.

Prepositions על and אל are both glossed as against in verse 1. אל is normally to (4,184) 85%, against (49) is only 1% of its uses.
על is much more varied  over (1,342) 28%,  on (1,145) 24%,  against (344) 7%,  to (284) 6%.

Jeremiah 51 Fn Min Max Syll

ר֖וּחַ מַשְׁחִֽית
1 C Thus says Yahweh, Note me well. I will arouse against Babel and against the inhabitants at the heart of those arising against me,
a destroying wind.

וְשִׁלַּחְתִּ֨י לְבָבֶ֤ל ׀ זָרִים֙ וְזֵר֔וּהָ וִיבֹקְק֖וּ אֶת־אַרְצָ֑הּ
כִּֽי־הָי֥וּ עָלֶ֛יהָ מִסָּבִ֖יב בְּי֥וֹם רָעָֽה
2 And I will send strangers to Babel, and they will winnow her, and will evacuate her land,
for they will be upon her on every side in a day of evil.

אֶֽל־יִדְרֹ֤ךְ הַדֹּרֵךְ֙ קַשְׁתּ֔וֹ וְאֶל־יִתְעַ֖ל בְּסִרְיֹנ֑וֹ
וְאַֽל־תַּחְמְלוּ֙ אֶל־בַּ֣חֻרֶ֔יהָ הַחֲרִ֖ימוּ כָּל־צְבָאָֽהּ
3 The director will not direct his bow, and will not go up with his chieftains,
and you will not show pity to her young men. You will utterly destroy all her host.
3e 4C 16
18
וְנָפְל֥וּ חֲלָלִ֖ים בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים

כִּ֤י אַרְצָם֙ מָלְאָ֣ה אָשָׁ֔ם מִקְּד֖וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
5 ~ For not widowed is Israel, nor Judah from his God, from Yahweh of hosts,
though their land was full of offense from the Holy One of Israel.

נֻ֣סוּ ׀ מִתּ֣וֹךְ בָּבֶ֗ל וּמַלְּטוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ נַפְשׁ֔וֹ אַל־תִּדַּ֖מּוּ בַּעֲוֺנָ֑הּ

for to the heavens, her judgment touches, and is lifted up to the skies.

הוֹצִ֥יא יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־צִדְקֹתֵ֑ינוּ

וְשֶׁ֥בֶר גָּד֖וֹל מֵאֶ֥רֶץ כַּשְׂדִּֽים
54 f The voice of an appeal from Babel,
and a great shattering from the land of Chaldea.
3e 4A 7
10
כִּֽי־שֹׁדֵ֤ד יְהוָה֙ אֶת־בָּבֶ֔ל וְאִבַּ֥ד מִמֶּ֖נָּה ק֣וֹל גָּד֑וֹל
וְהָמ֤וּ גַלֵּיהֶם֙ כְּמַ֣יִם רַבִּ֔ים נִתַּ֥ן שְׁא֖וֹן קוֹלָֽם
55 For Yahweh has devastated Babel and eliminated from her, a great voice.
When their waves murmur like many waters, the noise of their voice is given.
3e 4C 16
16
כִּי֩ בָ֨א עָלֶ֤יהָ עַל־בָּבֶל֙ שׁוֹדֵ֔ד וְנִלְכְּדוּ֙ גִּבּוֹרֶ֔יהָ חִתְּתָ֖ה קַשְּׁתוֹתָ֑ם
כִּ֣י אֵ֧ל גְּמֻל֛וֹת יְהוָ֖ה שַׁלֵּ֥ם יְשַׁלֵּֽם
56 For a devastator is going to her, against Babel, and her valiant are conquered. Dismayed are their bows,
for the God of rewards, Yahweh, he will repay.
3c 4C 23
12
וְ֠הִשְׁכַּרְתִּי שָׂרֶ֨יהָ וַחֲכָמֶ֜יהָ פַּחוֹתֶ֤יהָ וּסְגָנֶ֙יהָ֙ וְגִבּוֹרֶ֔יהָ וְיָשְׁנ֥וּ שְׁנַת־עוֹלָ֖ם וְלֹ֣א יָקִ֑יצוּ
נְאֻ֨ם־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת שְׁמֽוֹ
57 ~ And I will make her chiefs drunk, and her shrewd, and her viceroys, and her prefects, and her valiant. And they will sleep an everlasting sleep, and not awaken.
An oracle of the king, Yahweh of hosts is his name.
3e 4C 37
12
כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֗וֹת חֹ֠מוֹת בָּבֶ֤ל הָֽרְחָבָה֙ עַרְעֵ֣ר תִּתְעַרְעָ֔ר וּשְׁעָרֶ֥יהָ הַגְּבֹהִ֖ים בָּאֵ֣שׁ יִצַּ֑תּוּ
וְיִֽגְע֨וּ עַמִּ֧ים בְּדֵי־רִ֛יק וּלְאֻמִּ֥ים בְּדֵי־אֵ֖שׁ וְיָעֵֽפוּ
58 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, The broad walls of Babel will be laid bare, childless, and her haughty gates, in the fire they will be charred,
and peoples will labour enough, for emptiness, and tribes enough, for fire, and they get tired.
3c 4C 32
18
הַדָּבָ֞ר אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֣ה ׀ יִרְמְיָ֣הוּ הַנָּבִ֗יא אֶת־שְׂרָיָ֣ה בֶן־נֵרִיָּה֮ בֶּן־מַחְסֵיָה֒ בְּלֶכְתּ֞וֹ אֶת־צִדְקִיָּ֤הוּ מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה֙ בָּבֶ֔ל בִּשְׁנַ֥ת הָרְבִעִ֖ית לְמָלְכ֑וֹ
וּשְׂרָיָ֖ה שַׂ֥ר מְנוּחָֽה
59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Saraiah child of Neriah, child of Mechasyah, when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babel in the fourth year of his reign,
and Saraiah was chief of repose.
3e 4C 49
7
וַיִּכְתֹּ֣ב יִרְמְיָ֗הוּ אֵ֧ת כָּל־הָרָעָ֛ה אֲשֶׁר־תָּב֥וֹא אֶל־בָּבֶ֖ל אֶל־סֵ֣פֶר אֶחָ֑ד
אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה הַכְּתֻבִ֖ים אֶל־בָּבֶֽל
60 And Jeremiah wrote all the evil which was to come to Babel into one book,
all these words written to Babel.
3c 4C 24
14
וַיֹּ֥אמֶר יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ אֶל־שְׂרָיָ֑ה
כְּבֹאֲךָ֣ בָבֶ֔ל וְֽרָאִ֔יתָ וְֽקָרָ֔אתָ אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵֽלֶּה
61 And Jeremiah said to Saraiah,
When you come to Babel, you will see, and proclaim all these words.
3e 4B 11
21
וְאָמַרְתָּ֗ יְהוָה֙ אַתָּ֨ה דִבַּ֜רְתָּ אֶל־הַמָּק֤וֹם הַזֶּה֙ לְהַכְרִית֔וֹ לְבִלְתִּ֤י הֱיֽוֹת־בּוֹ֙ יוֹשֵׁ֔ב לְמֵאָדָ֖ם וְעַד־בְּהֵמָ֑ה
כִּֽי־שִׁמְמ֥וֹת עוֹלָ֖ם תִּֽהְיֶֽה
62 And say, Yahweh, you yourself have spoken to this place to cut it off without there being in it an inhabitant, from human and to beast,
but everlasting desolations, she will be.
3e 4C 38
7
וְהָיָה֙ כְּכַלֹּ֣תְךָ֔ לִקְרֹ֖א אֶת־הַסֵּ֣פֶר הַזֶּ֑ה
תִּקְשֹׁ֤ר עָלָיו֙ אֶ֔בֶן וְהִשְׁלַכְתּ֖וֹ אֶל־תּ֥וֹךְ פְּרָֽת
63 And it will be, when you have finished proclaiming this book,
you will fasten to it a stone, and you will cast it into the centre of the Euphrates.
3e 4C 15
14
וְאָמַרְתָּ֗ כָּ֠כָה תִּשְׁקַ֨ע בָּבֶ֤ל וְלֹֽא־תָקוּם֙ מִפְּנֵ֣י הָרָעָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֧ר אָנֹכִ֛י מֵבִ֥יא עָלֶ֖יהָ וְיָעֵ֑פוּ
עַד־הֵ֖נָּה דִּבְרֵ֥י יִרְמְיָֽהוּ
64 And you will say, thus Babel will plunge, and not arise from the presence of the evil that I will bring upon her, and they will get tired.
Till now, the words of Jeremiah.
3c 4C 32
