Jeremiah 51:55-57

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵⁵The Lord will destroy Babylon.
He will silence the loud noise coming from it.
Waves of enemies will come roaring in like raging water.
The noise will be heard everywhere.
⁵⁶A destroyer will attack Babylon,
its soldiers will be captured,
and their bows and arrows will be broken.

“I, the Lord, am a God who punishes evil.
I will certainly punish them.
⁵⁷I will make their officials and wise men drunk,
along with their governors, officers, and soldiers.
They will fall into a deep sleep and never wake up,”
declares the king, whose name is the Lord of Armies.
