Jeremiah51:55
55 Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon , and destroyed out of her the great voice , when her waves do roar, like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered .
The sword is not so much the s[illegible: 1 letter]ord of the Medes as the sword of the Lord. It is he who is to be looked at, as the spoiler of Babylon.
And hath made to cease in that great City the noises caused from multitudes of people in it walking up and down, and traffiquing together.
The noise of her Enemies that shall break in upon her shall be like the noise and roarings of the Sea, when it dasheth upon the shore or upon some Rocks. That shall be the onely noise shall be heard in her, instead of the Noises wont there to be made from the multitude of people, or from Revellers.
