Jeremiah 51:55-57
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
55 For the Lord is laying Babylon waste,
and stilling her loud clamour.
Their waves roar like mighty waters,
the sound of their clamour resounds;
56 for a destroyer has come against her,
against Babylon;
her warriors are taken,
their bows are broken;
for the Lord is a God of recompense,
he will repay in full.
57 I will make her officials and her sages drunk,
also her governors, her deputies, and her warriors;
they shall sleep a perpetual sleep and never wake,
says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
