Jeremiah 51:48-56

48Then the heavenH8064 and the earthH776, and all that is therein, shall singH7442 for BabylonH894: for the spoilersH7703 shall comeH935 unto her from the northH6828, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.

49AsH1571 BabylonH894 hath caused the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 to fallH5307, so at BabylonH894 shall fallH5307 the slainH2491 of all the earthH776.12

50Ye that have escapedH6405 the swordH2719, go awayH1980, stand not stillH5975: rememberH2142 YhwhH3068 afar offH7350, and let JerusalemH3389 comeH5927 into your mindH3824.

51We are confoundedH954, because we have heardH8085 reproachH2781: shameH3639 hath coveredH3680 our facesH6440: for strangersH2114 are comeH935 into the sanctuariesH4720 of Yhwh'sH3068 houseH1004.

52Wherefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that I will do judgmentH6485 upon her graven imagesH6456: and through all her landH776 the woundedH2491 shall groanH602.

53Though BabylonH894 should mount upH5927 to heavenH8064, and though she should fortifyH1219 the heightH4791 of her strengthH5797, yetH227 from me shall spoilersH7703 comeH935 unto her, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.

54A soundH6963 of a cryH2201 cometh from BabylonH894, and greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778:

55Because YhwhH3068 hath spoiledH7703 BabylonH894, and destroyedH6 out of her the greatH1419 voiceH6963; when her wavesH1530 do roarH1993 like greatH7227 watersH4325, a noiseH7588 of their voiceH6963 is utteredH5414:

56Because the spoilerH7703 is comeH935 upon her, even upon BabylonH894, and her mighty menH1368 are takenH3920, every one of their bowsH7198 is brokenH2865: for YhwhH3068 GodH410 of recompencesH1578 shall surelyH7999 requiteH7999.
