Jeremiah 51:56-58
56For the 1destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon, And her mighty men will be captured, Their 2bows are shattered; For the Lord is a God of 3recompense, He will fully repay.57“I will 4make her princes and her wise men drunk, Her governors, her prefects and her mighty men, That they may sleep a 5perpetual sleep and not wake up,” 6Declares the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts. 58Thus says the Lord of hosts, “The broad 7wall of Babylon will be completely razed And her high 8gates will be set on fire; So the peoples will 9toil for nothing, And the nations become 10exhausted only for fire.”
