Jeremiah 51:57-59

Good News Translation

⁵⁷ I will make its rulers drunk—
    men of wisdom, leaders, and soldiers.
They will go to sleep and never wake up.
    I, the king, have spoken;
    I am the Lord Almighty.
⁵⁸ The walls of mighty Babylon will be thrown to the ground,
    and its towering gates burned down.
The work of the nations is all for nothing;
    their efforts go up in flames.
I, the Lord Almighty, have spoken.”
