Jeremiah 51:54-59
54The soundH6963 of a cryH2201 from BabylonH894, and of greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778!
55For the LORDH3068 spoileth BabylonH894, and destroyeth outH4480 of herH5414 the greatH1419 voiceH6963; and their wavesH1530 roarH1993 like manyH7227 watersH4325, the noiseH6963 of their voiceH6963 is utteredH5414:
56for the spoiler is comeH935 uponH5921 herH5921, evenH3588 uponH5921 BabylonH894, and herH5921 mightyH1368 menH1368 are takenH3920, their bowsH7198 are broken in pieces: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH410 of recompences, he shall surelyH3588 requite.
57And I will makeH7937 drunkH7937 herH7937 princesH8269 and herH7937 wiseH2450 menH1368, herH7937 governorsH6346 and herH7937 deputies, and herH7937 mightyH1368 menH1368; and they shall sleepH8142 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and notH3808 wakeH6974, saith the KingH4428, whoseH8034 nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
58ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: The broadH7342 wallsH2346 of BabylonH894 shall be utterly overthrown, and herH559 highH1364 gatesH8179 shall be burnedH3341 with fireH784; and the peoplesH5971 shall labour for vanity, and the nationsH5971 for the fireH784; and they shall be wearyH3021.
59The wordH1697 whichH834 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680 SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MahseiahH4271, when he went with ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to BabylonH894 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. Now SeraiahH8304 was chiefH8269 chamberlain.
