Jeremiah 51:56-58

The Voice

⁵⁶A destroyer is coming to attack Babylon; her mighty warriors will be captured.
Their weapons will be broken.
For the Eternal is a just God who pays accordingly,
and He will repay Babylon in full.

⁵⁷Eternal One: I will make her leaders and wise men drunk
as well as her governors, leaders, and mighty warriors.
And when they fall asleep, they will sleep forever,

So says the King, whose name is the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies.

⁵⁸Eternal One: The wide and sturdy walls of Babylon will be toppled,
        and her massive city gates will be set on fire.
    The people toiled to build those walls,
        but it was all in vain.
    Prisoners from other lands exhausted themselves to build this city,
        but their work went up in flames.
