56 A destroyer will attack Babylon,
    its soldiers will be captured,
        and their bows and arrows will be broken.

“I, Yahweh, am a God who punishes evil.
    I will certainly punish them.
57 I will make their officials and wise men drunk,
    along with their governors, officers, and soldiers.
        They will fall into a deep sleep and never wake up,”
            declares the Melek, whose name is Yahweh Tsebaoth.

58 This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth says:

The thick walls of Babylon will be leveled,
    and its high gates will be set on fire.
        People exhaust themselves for nothing.
        The nations wear themselves out only to have a fire.
