54 The sound of a cry for help from Babylon,
    and a great collapse from the land of the Chaldeans.
55 For Yahweh is devastating Babylon,
    and he obliterates her loud noise[a] from her.
Their waves roar like mighty waters,
    the roar of their voices[b] resounds.

    and her warriors are captured.
Their bows are broken;
    for Yahweh is a God of recompense,
    certainly he will repay.
