Jeremiah 51:55-57

Modern English Version

⁵⁵ because the Lord has devastated Babylon,
    and destroyed the great voice out of her.
When her waves roar like great waters,
    a noise of their voice is uttered.
⁵⁶ Because the destroyer is coming against her, even upon Babylon,
    and her mighty men will be captured,
    every one of their bows are broken.
For the Lord is a God of recompense;
    He will completely repay.
⁵⁷ I will make her officials drunk, and her wise men,
    her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men;
and they will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake,
    says the King whose name is the Lord of Hosts.
