54A soundH6963 of a cryH2201 cometh from BabylonH894, and greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778: 55Because the LORDH3068 hath laid wasteH7703 BabylonH894, and destroyedH6 out of her the greatH1419 voiceH6963; when her wavesH1530 roarH1993 like greatH7227 watersH4325, a noiseH7588 of their voiceH6963 is utteredH5414: 56Because the spoilerH7703 is comeH935 upon her, even upon BabylonH894, and her mighty menH1368 are takenH3920, every one of their bowsH7198 is brokenH2865: for the LORDH3068 GodH410 of recompencesH1578 shall surelyH7999 repayH7999. 57And I will make drunkH7937 her princesH8269, and her wiseH2450 men, her captainsH6346, and her rulersH5461, and her mighty menH1368: and they shall sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 58Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The broadH7342 wallsH2346 of BabylonH894 shall be utterlyH6209 brokenH6209, and her highH1364 gatesH8179 shall be burnedH3341 with fireH784; and the peopleH5971 shall labourH3021 in vainH7385, and the peopleH3816 inH1767 the fireH784, and they shall be wearyH3286.12
