Jeremiah 51:36-42

36Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will pleadH7378 thy causeH7379, and take vengeanceH5358 for theeH5360; and I will dry upH2717 her seaH3220, and make her springsH4726 dryH3001.

37And BabylonH894 shall become heapsH1530, a dwellingplaceH4583 for dragonsH8577, an horrorH8047, and an hissingH8322, without an inhabitantH3427.

38They shall roarH7580 togetherH3162 like lionsH3715: they shall yellH5286 as lionsH738’ whelpsH1484.1

39In their heatH2527 I will makeH7896 their feastsH4960, and I will make them drunkH7937, that they may rejoiceH5937, and sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

40I will bring them downH3381 like lambsH3733 to the slaughterH2873, like ramsH352 with male goatsH6260.

41How is SheshachH8347 takenH3920! and how is the praiseH8416 of the whole earthH776 surprisedH8610! how is BabylonH894 become an horrorH8047 among the nationsH1471!

42The seaH3220 is come upH5927 upon BabylonH894: she is coveredH3680 with the multitudeH1995 of its wavesH1530.
