40 I will bring them down H3381 like lambs H3733 to the slaughter, H2873 like rams H352 with he goats. H6260
41 How is Sheshach H8347 taken! H3920 and how is the praise H8416 of the whole earth H776 surprised! H8610 how is Babylon H894 become an astonishment H8047 among the nations! H1471
42 The sea H3220 is come up H5927 upon Babylon: H894 she is covered H3680 with the multitude H1995 of the waves H1530 thereof.

Commentary on Jeremiah 51 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 51
The prophet, in this chapter, goes on with the prediction of Babylon's fall, to which other prophets also bore witness. He is very copious and lively in describing the foresight God had given him of it, for the encouragement of the pious captives, whose deliverance depended upon it and was to be the result of it.
