55. For the lord is destroying Babylon.He will silence her loud voice.Waves of enemies pound against her;the noise of battle rings through the city.
56. Destroying armies come against Babylon.Her mighty men are captured,and their weapons break in their hands.For the lord is a God who gives just punishment;he always repays in full.
57. I will make her officials and wise men drunk,along with her captains, officers, and warriors.They will fall asleepand never wake up again!”says the King, whose name isthe lord of Heaven’s Armies.
