Jeremiah 51:34 Midrash: Tanna Debei Eliyahu Rabbah

אכלנו [אֲכָלַ֣נִי] הממנו [הֲמָמַ֗נִי] נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר֮ מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶל֒ הציגנו [הִצִּיגַ֙נִי֙] כְּלִ֣י רִ֔יק בלענו [בְּלָעַ֙נִי֙] כַּתַּנִּ֔ין מִלָּ֥א כְרֵשׂ֖וֹ מֵֽעֲדָנָ֑י הדיחנו [הֱדִיחָֽנִי׃]

Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, He hath crushed me, He hath set me down as an empty vessel, He hath swallowed me up like a dragon, He hath filled his maw with my delicacies; He hath washed me clean.

Tanna Debei Eliyahu Rabbah

This is what God said to Israel: My children what do I seek from you? I seek no more than that you love one another, and honor one another, and that you have awe for one another
