Yirmeyah 51:56-58
Orthodox Jewish Bible

56 Because the plunderer is come upon her, even upon Bavel, and her gibborim are taken, every one of their keshatot (bows) is broken; for El Gemulot Hashem (Hashem the G-d of Recompense) shall surely repay.

57 And I will make shikkor (drunk) her sarim, and her chachamim, her pachot (rulers), and her seganim (officials), and her gibborim; and they shall sleep a shenat olam (perpetual sleep), and never awake, saith HaMelech Hashem Tzva’os Shmo.

58 Thus saith Hashem Tzva’os: The thick chomot Bavel shall be utterly broken, and her high she’arim shall be burned with eish; and the people shall labor in vain, and the peoples wear themselves out only for eish.

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)
