LEB(i)
53 Though Babylon goes up to the heavens, and though she fortifies the high place of her strength, from me destroyers will come to her," ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh.
54 The sound of a cry for help from Babylon, and a great collapse from the land of the Chaldeans.
55 For Yahweh is devastating Babylon, and he obliterates her loud noise* from her. Their waves roar like mighty waters, the roar of their voices* resounds.
56 For a destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon, and her warriors are captured. Their bows are broken; for Yahweh is a God of recompense, certainly he will repay.
57 "And I will make drunk her officials, and her wise men, her governors, and her officials, and her warriors, and they will sleep ⌊an everlasting sleep⌋,* and they will not wake up," ⌊declares⌋* the King, Yahweh of hosts is his name.
