Since the accent is an the final syllable (and matching the accented syllable and all that follows it is the key to rhyming), a rhyme for "divine" is easy -- dozens of words ending in "-ine" will work.
For a list see:

Many of these are complex words, not likely what you need. The simplest ones are most likely to wokr -- one and two syllable words like:
dine, fine, line, mine, pine, shine, sign, vine
align, assign, combine, consign, desoign, refine
Words ending in "-ime" are so close in sound they may also work. (Thus you could use "sublime", which might suit you thematic needs better than, say, "alkaline"!)
-----------------------------
"Siebert", on the other hand, is a toughie, largely because the accent is on the second to last syllable.. You cannot simply use anything that ends with the /irt/ sound, because most of these will not match the accent.
In fact, the only PERFECT rhyme I see for this is ANOTHER name, viz., "Ebert". But it's doubtful such a name will be very useful for your poetic needs!
Someone has already suggested a possible solution -- a combination of two words, the first ending with, or at least containing the /ee/ sound, the second with /irt/. But beware that many of these two-word expressions will NOT work for the same reason "invert" will not work -- they are accented on the FINAL syllable. ("me, Bert" looks workable as a rhyme, but as with Ebert, how would you actually use it!?)
In any case, you probably need a "NEAR rhyme" in which the vowel sounds match but not all the consonants, in particular, the very last consonant and the consonant(s) in the middle. But you almost certainly will have to match the accented /ee/ sound and the /ir/. (Note that most of the two-word solutions also fall in this category.) If the substitute consonants are CLOSE to those of the original word, this will help -- words ending with /urp/ and /irk/ will be better matches than something like /urge/.
Example: "fieldwork". "Rework" might fit IF you accent the first syllable.
As for those two-word combinations, try things ending with:
hurt, shirt, dirt, spurt, curt, girt, squirt, skirt, pert, blurt
work, shirk, jerk, lurk, perk, smirk, irk
chirp, twirp, slurp
But for the first word you may need to look beyond those ending with /ee/ (bee, fee, he, key, lea, me, pea, plea, decree ...) to ones with an /ee/ in the middle.
Example: complete (discrete/discreet, sweet) work; deep hurt
You also might be able to simply drop the final /t/, and use things like:
beaver, weaver, fever, believer, receiver
keeper, steeper, deeper, sleeper
squeaker, leaker, streaker
eater, heater, greeter, peter
