Jeremiah 51:56-58
Christian Standard Bible
56 for a destroyer is coming against her,
against Babylon.
Her warriors will be captured,
their bows shattered,
for the Lord is a God of retribution;
he will certainly repay.
57 I will make her princes and sages drunk,
along with her governors, officials, and warriors.
Then they will fall asleep forever
and never wake up.(A)
This is the King’s declaration;
the Lord of Armies is his name.(B)
58 This is what the Lord of Armies says:
Babylon’s thick walls will be totally demolished,(C)
and her high gates set ablaze.
The peoples will have labored for nothing;(D)
the nations will weary themselves only to feed the fire.
