From a fully vowelled text

«قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ بُرْجًا فِي شَعْبِي، حِصْنًا، لِتَعْرِفَ وَتَمْتَحِنَ طَرِيقَهُم.I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.Jeremiah 6:27, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَكَلَّمَ أَيْضًا أَهْلَ فَنُوئِيلَ قَائِلاً: «عِنْدَ رُجُوعِي بِسَلاَمٍ أَهْدِمُ هذَا الْبُرْجَ».And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.Judges 8:9, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَجَاءَ أَبِيمَالِكُ إِلَى الْبُرْجِ وَحَارَبَهُ، وَاقْتَرَبَ إِلَى بَابِ الْبُرْجِ لِيُحْرِقَهُ بِالنَّارِ.And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.Judges 9:52, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
