Jeremiah 51:54-59
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.
58ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: The broadH7342 wallsH2346 of BabylonH894 shall be utterly laid bare, and her highH1364 gatesH8179 shall be burnedH3341 with fireH784; so that the peoplesH5971 will have laboured in vain, and the nations for the fireH784: and they shall be wearyH3021.
59The wordH1697 that JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680 SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of Nerijah, 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.
