Jeremiah 51:36-42

36Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: BeholdH2005, I will pleadH7378 thy causeH7379, and takeH5358 vengeanceH5360 for thee; and I will dryH3001 upH3001 herH559 seaH3220, and makeH3001 herH559 fountainH4726 dryH3001.

37And BabylonH894 shall becomeH1961 heapsH1530, a dwellingH3427 placeH1961 for jackalsH8577, an astonishment, and an hissingH8322, withoutH369 inhabitantH3427.

38They shall roarH7580 togetherH3162 like youngH3715 lionsH738; they shall growlH5286 as lions’H738 whelps.

39When they are heated, I will makeH7896 their feastH4960, and I will makeH7896 them drunken, that they may rejoiceH5937, and sleepH8142 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and notH3808 wakeH6974, saith the LORDH3068.

40I will bringH3381 them downH3381 like lambsH3733 to the slaughterH2873, like ramsH352 with he-goats.

41HowH349 is SheshachH8347 takenH3920! and the praiseH8416 of the wholeH3605 earthH776 surprised! howH349 is BabylonH894 becomeH1961 a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471!

42The seaH3220 is comeH5927 upH5927 uponH5921 BabylonH894: she is coveredH3680 with the multitudeH1995 of the wavesH1530 thereof.
