Jeremiah 51:54-59
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. 57And I will makeH7937 drunkH7937 her princesH8269 and her wiseH2450 menH1368, her governorsH6346 and her deputies, and her mightyH1368 menH1368; and they shall sleepH8142 a perpetual sleepH8142, and not wake, saith the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is Jehovah of hostsH6635. 58ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: The broadH7342 wallsH2346 of BabylonH894 shall be utterly overthrown, and her highH1364 gatesH8179 shall be burnedH3341 with fireH784; and the peoplesH5971 shall laborH3021 for vanity, and the nations for the fireH784; and they shall be wearyH3021.
59The wordH1697 which JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680 SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MahseiahH4271, whenH834 he went with ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to BabylonH894 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. Now SeraiahH8304 was chiefH8269 chamberlain.
