⁵³ Even if Babylon grows until she touches the ·sky [heavens],
    and even if she ·makes her highest cities strong [fortifies her lofty stronghold],
    I will send people to destroy her,” says the Lord.
⁵⁴ “Sounds of people crying are heard in Babylon.
    Sounds of ·people destroying things [great destruction]
    are heard in the land of the Babylonians.

    and making the loud sounds of the city become silent.
Enemies come roaring in like ocean waves.
    The roar of their voices is heard all around.
