Jeremiah 51:56-58
New American Standard Bible
56 For the (A)destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon,
And her warriors will be captured,
Their (B)bows shattered;
For the Lord is a God of (C)retribution,
He will fully repay.
57 “I will (D)make her leaders and her wise men drunk,
Her governors, her officials, and her warriors,
So that they will sleep a (E)perpetual sleep and not wake up,”
(F)Declares the King, whose name is the Lord of armies.
58 This is what the Lord of armies says:
“The broad (G)wall of Babylon will be completely demolished,
And her high (H)gates will be set on fire;
So the peoples will (I)labor for nothing,
And the nations become (J)exhausted only for fire.”
