Jeremiah 51:48-56

48Then heavenH8064 and earthH776 and allH3605 thatH834 is in them will shout for joyH7442 overH5921 BabylonH894 becauseH3588 the destroyersH7703 from the northH6828 will comeH935 against her,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.49“BabylonH894 must fallH5307 on account of the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478, just asH1571 the slainH2491 of allH3605 the earthH776 have fallenH5307 because of BabylonH894.50You who have escapedH6412 the swordH2719, departH1980 and do notH408 lingerH5975! RememberH2142 the LORDH3068 from far awayH7350, and let JerusalemH3389 comeH5927 toH5921 mindH3824.”

51“We are ashamedH954 becauseH3588 we have heardH8085 reproachH2781;disgraceH3639 has coveredH3680 our facesH6440,becauseH3588 foreignersH2114 have enteredH935H5921the holy placesH4720 of the LORD’sH3068 houseH1004.”
52“ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, the daysH3117 are comingH935,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,“when I will punishH6485H5921 her idolsH6456,and throughoutH3605 her landH776 the woundedH2491 will groanH602.53Even ifH3588 BabylonH894 ascendsH5927 to the heavensH8064H3588and fortifiesH1219 her loftyH4791 strongholdH5797,the destroyersH7703 I sendH854 will comeH935 against her,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.
54“The soundH6963 of a cryH2201comes from BabylonH894,the sound of greatH1419 destructionH7667from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778!55ForH3588 the LORDH3068 will destroyH7703 BabylonH894;He will silenceH6H4480 her mightyH1419 voiceH6963.The wavesH1530 will roarH1993 like greatH7227 watersH4325;the tumultH7588 of their voicesH6963 will resoundH5414.
56ForH3588 a destroyerH7703 is comingH935 against herH5921—againstH5921 BabylonH894.Her warriorsH1368 will be capturedH3920,and their bowsH7198 will be brokenH2865,forH3588 the LORDH3068 is a GodH410 of retributionH1578;He will repay in fullH7999.
