Jeremiah 51:36-42

36ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy causeH7379, and take vengeanceH5360 for thee; and I will dryH3001 up her seaH3220, and makeH3001 her fountainH4726 dryH3001. 37And BabylonH894 shall becomeH1961 heapsH1530, a dwelling-place for jackalsH8577, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitantH3427. 38They shall roarH7580 togetherH3162 like youngH3715 lionsH738; they shall growl as lions’H738 whelps. 39When they are heated, I will makeH7896 their feastH4960, and I will makeH7896 them drunken, that they may rejoiceH5937, and sleepH8142 a perpetual sleepH8142, and not wake, saith Jehovah. 40I will bringH3381 them downH3381 like lambsH3733 to the slaughterH2873, like ramsH352 with he-goats.

41HowH349 is SheshachH8347 takenH3920! and the praiseH8416 of the whole earthH776 seizedH8610! howH349 is BabylonH894 becomeH1961 a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471! 42The seaH3220 is comeH5927 up upon BabylonH894; she is coveredH3680 with the multitudeH1995 of the waves thereof.
