Jeremiah 51:54-56

New International Reader's Version

⁵⁴ “The noise of people screaming comes from Babylon.
    A terrible sound comes from its land.
    It is the sound of a mighty city being destroyed.
⁵⁵ I will destroy Babylon.
    I will put an end to all its noise.
Waves of enemies will sweep through it like great waters.
    The roar of their voices will fill the air.
⁵⁶ A destroying army will come against Babylon.
    The soldiers in the city will be captured.
    Their bows will be broken.
I am the Lord God who pays people back.
    I will pay them back in full.
