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)

Jeremiah 51:56-58
King James Version

56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the Lord God of recompences 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 a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

58 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
