54 “The sound of a cry is coming from Babylon,
    great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans.
55 For the Lord is destroying Babylon,
    and he will make the loud sounds from her disappear.[a]
Their waves will roar like many waters,
    the noise of their voices will sound forth.
56 Indeed, the destroyer is coming against her,
    against Babylon.
Her warriors are captured,
    and her bows are broken.
For the Lord is a God of recompense,
    and he will repay in full.
