Jeremiah 51:56-58
Jubilee Bible 2000

56 because the destroyer is come against her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bow is broken: for the LORD God of recompenses shall surely requite.

57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep an eternal sleep and shall not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of the hosts.

58 Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly cast down, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and peoples and nations shall labour in vain in the fire to save her, and they shall become weary.

Jeremiah 51:56-58
New International Version

56 A destroyer(A) will come against Babylon;
    her warriors will be captured,
    and their bows will be broken.(B)
For the Lord is a God of retribution;
    he will repay(C) in full.
57 I will make her officials(D) and wise(E) men drunk,(F)
    her governors, officers and warriors as well;
they will sleep(G) forever and not awake,”
    declares the King,(H) whose name is the Lord Almighty.

58 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Babylon’s thick wall(I) will be leveled
    and her high gates(J) set on fire;
the peoples(K) exhaust(L) themselves for nothing,
    the nations’ labor is only fuel for the flames.”(M)
