Jeremiah 51:56-58

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.
