Jeremiah 51:54-59
54“The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, the sound of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!55For the LORD will destroy Babylon; He will silence her mighty voice. The waves will roar like great waters; the tumult of their voices will resound.
56For a destroyer is coming against her—against Babylon.Her warriors will be captured,and their bows will be broken,for the LORD is a God of retribution;He will repay in full.57I will make her princes and wise men drunk,along with her governors, officials, and warriors.Then they will fall asleep foreverand not wake up,”declares the King,whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
58This is what the LORD of Hosts says:
“Babylon’s thick walls will be leveled,and her high gates consumed by fire.So the labor of the people will be for nothing;the nations will exhaust themselves to fuel the flames.”
59This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet gave to the quartermaster Seraiah son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went to Babylon with King Zedekiah of Judah in the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign.
