Jeremiah 51:55-57

New Catholic Bible

⁵⁵ For the Lord is laying waste to Babylon
    and stilling her loud cries of anguish.
Massive waves of enemies will roar like mighty waters,
    and their clamor will be heard from afar.
⁵⁶ A destroying force is moving against Babylon;
    her warriors are captured,
    and their bows are broken.
For the Lord is a God of retribution,
    and he never fails to repay in full.
⁵⁷ I will make her princes and her wise men drunk,
    as well as her governors,
    her prefects and her warriors.
They will sink into an unending sleep,
    never to awaken again,
    says the King whose name is the Lord of hosts.
