* [[Jeremiah 25:26]] – "The king of ''[[Sheshach]]'' shall drink after them" – Sheshach meaning [[Babylon]] in Atbash ({{Script/Hebrew|בבל}} ''bbl'' → {{Script/Hebrew|ששך}} ''ššk'').
* [[Jeremiah 51:1]] – "Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against the inhabitants of ''Lev-kamai'', a destroying wind." – Lev-kamai meaning [[Chaldea]]ns ({{Script/Hebrew|כשדים}} ''kśdym'' → {{Script/Hebrew|לבקמי}} ''lbqmy'').
* [[Jeremiah 51:41]] – "How has ''Sheshach'' been captured! and the praise of the whole earth taken! How has Babylon become a curse among the nations!" – Sheshach meaning Babylon ({{Script/Hebrew|בבל}} ''bbl'' → {{Script/Hebrew|ששך}} ''ššk'').
Regarding a potential Atbash switch of a single letter:
* {{Bibleverse|Exodus|20:20|HE}} - "Any place ''I'' will mention My name" ({{Script/Hebrew|אזכיר}}) → "Any place ''you'' will mention My name" ({{Script/Hebrew|תזכיר}}) (a → t), according to [[Yom Tov Asevilli]]<ref>[https://www.sefaria.org.il/Midrash_Shmuel_on_Avot.3.6.1?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en Midrash Shmuel on Avot 3:6]; see discussion in [[David Zvi Hoffmann]] [https://mg.alhatorah.org/Parshan/R._David_Zvi_Hoffmann/Shemot/20.20#m7e0n6 to Exodus 20:20]</ref>
