Jeremiah 51:54-56

New Century Version

⁵⁴ “Sounds of people crying are heard in Babylon.
    Sounds of people destroying things
    are heard in the land of the Babylonians.
⁵⁵ The Lord is destroying Babylon
    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.
⁵⁶ The army has come to destroy Babylon.
    Her soldiers have been captured,
    and their bows are broken,
because the Lord is a God who punishes people for the evil they do.
    He gives them the full punishment they deserve.
