Jeremiah 51:39-57
39When they are heated, I will prepare their drinkH4960, and I will makeH7896 them drunken, that they may exultH5937, 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 howH349 is the praiseH8416 of the whole earthH776 seizedH8610! HowH349 is BabylonH894 becomeH1961 an astonishment among the nationsH1471!
42The seaH3220 is comeH5927 up upon BabylonH894: she is coveredH3680 with the multitudeH1995 of its waves.
43Her citiesH5892 are becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, a dryH6723 landH776, and a desertH6160, a landH776 wherein no oneH376 dwelleth, neither doth a sonH1121 of manH376 passH5674 thereby.
44And I will punishH6485 BelH1078 in BabylonH894, and I will bringH3318 forthH3318 out of his mouthH6310 what he hath swallowed up; and the nationsH1471 shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wallH2346 of BabylonH894 is fallenH5307.
45GoH3318 ye out of the midstH8432 of her, my peopleH5971, and deliverH4422 every manH376 his soulH5315 from the fierce angerH639 of Jehovah!
46lestH6435 your heartH3824 faint, and ye fearH3372 for the rumour that shall be heardH8085 in the landH776; for a rumour shall comeH935 [one] yearH8141, and after that a rumour in [another] yearH8141, and violenceH2555 in the earthH776, rulerH4910 against rulerH4910.
47ThereforeH3651 behold, daysH3117 are comingH935 when I will punishH6485 the graven images of BabylonH894; and her whole landH776 shall be putH954 to shameH954, and all her slainH2491 shall fallH5307 in the midstH8432 of her.
48And the heavensH8064 and the earthH776, and all that is therein, shall shoutH7442 aloudH7442 over BabylonH894; for out of the northH6828 the spoilers shall comeH935 against her, saith Jehovah.
49As BabylonH894 caused the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 to fallH5307, so at BabylonH894 shall fallH5307 the slainH2491 of all the earthH776.
50Ye that have escaped the swordH2719, goH1980, standH5975 not stillH5975: rememberH2142 Jehovah from afarH7350, and let JerusalemH3389 comeH1980 into your mind.
51— We are putH954 to shameH954, for we have heardH8085 reproachH2781; confusion hath coveredH3680 our faceH6440: for strangersH2114 are comeH935 into the sanctuariesH4720 of Jehovah's houseH1004.
52— ThereforeH3651 behold, daysH3117 comeH935, saith Jehovah, that I will punishH6485 her graven images; and throughout her landH776 the woundedH2491 shall groanH602.
53Though BabylonH894 should mount up to the heavensH8064, and though she should fortifyH1219 the heightH4791 of her strengthH5797, yet from me shall spoilers comeH935 unto her, saith Jehovah.
54The soundH6963 of a cryH2201 [cometh] from BabylonH894, and greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778;
55for Jehovah spoileth BabylonH894, and he will destroyH6 out of her the greatH1419 voiceH6963; and their waves roarH1993 like greatH1419 watersH4325, the noise of their voiceH6963 resoundeth.
56For the spoiler is comeH935 against her, against BabylonH894, and her mightyH1368 menH1368 are takenH3920; their bowsH7198 are broken in pieces; for Jehovah, the 1GodH410 of recompences, will certainly requite.
57And I will makeH7937 drunkH7937 her princesH8269, and her wiseH2450 menH1368, her governorsH6346, and her rulers, and her mightyH1368 menH1368; and they shall sleepH8142 a perpetual sleepH8142, and not wake, saith the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is Jehovah of hostsH6635.
