Jeremiah 51:55-57
Lexham English Bible
55 For Yahweh is devastating Babylon,
and he obliterates her loud noise[a] from her.
Their waves roar like mighty waters,
the roar of their voices[b] resounds.
56 For a destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon,
and her warriors are captured.
Their bows are broken;
for Yahweh is a God of recompense,
certainly he will repay.
57 “And I will make drunk her officials, and her wise men,
her governors, and her officials, and her warriors,
and they will sleep an everlasting sleep,[c]
and they will not wake up,”
declares[d] the King, Yahweh of hosts is his name.
