Yirmeyah 51:55-57
Orthodox Jewish Bible
55 Because Hashem hath plundered Bavel, and silenced her kol gadol (great voice); when her waves do roar like mayim rabbim, the sound of her roaring resounds;
56 Because the plunderer is come upon her, even upon Bavel, and her gibborim are taken, every one of their keshatot (bows) is broken; for El Gemulot Hashem (Hashem the G-d of Recompense) shall surely repay.
57 And I will make shikkor (drunk) her sarim, and her chachamim, her pachot (rulers), and her seganim (officials), and her gibborim; and they shall sleep a shenat olam (perpetual sleep), and never awake, saith HaMelech Hashem Tzva’os Shmo.

55 The Lord will destroy Babylon;
he will silence(A) her noisy din.
Waves(B) of enemies will rage like great waters;

her warriors will be captured,
and their bows will be broken.(D)
For the Lord is a God of retribution;
he will repay(E) in full.

her governors, officers and warriors as well;
they will sleep(I) forever and not awake,”
