Jeremiah 51:56-58
Easy-to-Read Version
56 The army will come and destroy Babylon.
Its soldiers will be captured, and their bows will be broken,
This will happen because the Lord punishes people for the bad things they do.
He gives them the full punishment they deserve.
57 I will make Babylon’s wise men
and important officials drunk.
I will make the governors, officers,
and soldiers drunk too.
Then they will sleep forever.
They will never wake up.”
This is what the King said.
His name is the Lord All-Powerful.
58 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says:
“Babylon’s thick, strong wall will be pulled down.
Her high gates will be burned.
The people of Babylon will work hard,
but it will not help.
They will get very tired trying to save the city.
But they will only be fuel for the flames.”
