Jeremiah 51:55-57

International Standard Version

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.
⁵⁷ I’ll make their leaders, their wise men,
    their governors, their deputies,
and their warriors drunk so that they sleep forever
    and don’t wake up,”
declares the King
    whose name is the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.
