Yirmeyahu 51:36-51 ירמיהו נ״א:ל״ו-נ״א

Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her spring dry.

And Bavel shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.

They shall roar together like lions: they shall growl like lions’ whelps.

When they are heated, I will make feasts for them, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake, says the Lord.

I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.

How is Sheshakh taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Bavel become an astonishment among the nations!

The sea is come up upon Bavel: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.

Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land in which no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass by them.

And I will punish Bel in Bavel, and I will take out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more to him: the very wall of Bavel has fallen.

My people, go out of the midst of her, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.

And lest your heart faint, and you fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land: for a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and there will be violence in the land, ruler against ruler.

Therefore, behold, days are coming, when I will do judgment upon the carved idols of Bavel: and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.

Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Bavel: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, says the Lord.

As Bavel has caused the slain of Yisra᾽el to fall, so at Bavel shall fall the slain of all the land.

You that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still; remember the Lord afar off, and let Yerushalayim come into your mind.

We are ashamed, because we have heard reproach: shame has covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord’s house.
