57 And I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her commanders (deputies) and her mighty warriors; and they will sleep a perpetual sleep and not waken, says the King—the Lord of hosts is His name.

Jeremiah 51:57-59
New International Version
57 I will make her officials(A) and wise(B) men drunk,(C)
her governors, officers and warriors as well;
they will sleep(D) forever and not awake,”
declares the King,(E) whose name is the Lord Almighty.
58 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Babylon’s thick wall(F) will be leveled
and her high gates(G) set on fire;
the peoples(H) exhaust(I) themselves for nothing,
the nations’ labor is only fuel for the flames.”(J)
59 This is the message Jeremiah the prophet gave to the staff officer Seraiah son of Neriah,(K) the son of Mahseiah, when he went to Babylon with Zedekiah(L) king of Judah in the fourth(M) year of his reign.
