Jeremiah 51:53-57 (28:53) For though Babylon should go up as the heaven, and though she should strengthen her walls with her power, from me shall come they that shall destroy her, saith the Lord.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵³ ^(28:53) For though Babylon should go up as the heaven, and though she should strengthen her walls with her power, from me shall come they that shall destroy her, saith the Lord. ⁵⁴ ^(28:54) A sound of a cry in Babylon, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans: ⁵⁵ ^(28:55) for the Lord has utterly destroyed Babylon, and cut off from her the great voice sounding as many waters: he has consigned her voice to destruction. ⁵⁶ ^(28:56) For distress has come upon Babylon, her warriors are taken, their bows are useless: for God recompenses them. ⁵⁷ ^(28:57) The Lord recompenses, and will make her leaders and her wise men and her captains completely drunk, saith the King, the Lord Almighty is his name.
