Jeremiah 51:55-57
New Life Version
55 For the Lord will destroy Babylon. He will quiet her loud voice. Their waves will sound like many waters, and the noise of their voices is loud. 56 For the destroyer is coming against Babylon, and her strong men will be taken. Their bows are broken. For the Lord is a God Who makes the sinner pay for his sin, and He will be sure to punish. 57 “I will make her leaders and her wise men, her rulers, her captains, and her strong men of war drunk. Then they will fall asleep and never wake up,” says the King, Whose name is the Lord of All.

55 The Lord will destroy Babylon;
he will silence(A) her noisy din.
Waves(B) of enemies will rage like great waters;
the roar of their voices will resound.
56 A destroyer(C) will come against Babylon;
her warriors will be captured,
and their bows will be broken.(D)
For the Lord is a God of retribution;
he will repay(E) in full.
57 I will make her officials(F) and wise(G) men drunk,(H)
her governors, officers and warriors as well;
they will sleep(I) forever and not awake,”
declares the King,(J) whose name is the Lord Almighty.
