Jeremiah 51:48-56

48Then the heavensH8064 and the earthH776, and all that is therein, shall singH7442 for joyH7442 over BabylonH894; for the destroyersH7703 shall comeH935 unto her from the northH6828, saith Jehovah. 49As BabylonH894 hath caused the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 to fallH5307, so at BabylonH894 shall fallH5307 the slainH2491 of all the landH776.

50Ye that have escaped the swordH2719, goH1980 ye, standH5975 not stillH5975; rememberH2142 Jehovah from afarH7350, and let JerusalemH3389 comeH1980 into your mind. 51We are confounded, because we have heardH8085 reproachH2781; confusion hath coveredH3680 our facesH6440: for strangersH2114 are comeH935 into the sanctuariesH4720 of Jehovah’s houseH1004. 52Wherefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith Jehovah, that I will execute judgment upon her graven images; and through all her landH776 the woundedH2491 shall groanH602. 53Though BabylonH894 should mount up to heavenH8064, and though she should fortifyH1219 the heightH4791 of her strengthH5797, yet from me shall destroyersH7703 comeH935 unto her, saith Jehovah.

54The soundH6963 of a cryH2201 from BabylonH894, and of greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778! 55For Jehovah layeth BabylonH894 waste, and destroyeth out of her the greatH1419 voiceH6963; and their waves roarH1993 like manyH7227 watersH4325; the noise of their voiceH6963 is uttered: 56for the destroyerH7703 is comeH935 upon her, even upon BabylonH894, and her mightyH1368 menH1368 are takenH3920, their bowsH7198 are broken in pieces; for Jehovah is a GodH410 of recompenses, he will surely requite.
