Jeremiah 51:54-61
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 51
54
The sound of an outcry from Babylon,
And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55
For the
Lord
is going to destroy Babylon,
And He will make
her
loud noise vanish from her.
And their waves will roar like many waters;
The clamor of their voices sounds forth.
56
For the destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon,
And her warriors will be captured,
Their bows shattered;
For the
Lord
is a God of retribution,
He will fully repay.
57
'I will make her leaders and her wise men drunk,
Her governors, her officials, and her warriors,
So that they will sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake up,'
Declares the King, whose name is the
Lord
of armies.
58
This is what the
Lord
of armies says:
'The broad wall of Babylon will be completely demolished,
And her high gates will be set on fire;
So the peoples will labor for nothing,
And the nations become exhausted
only
for fire.'
59

60
Jeremiah wrote on a single scroll all the disaster which would come against Babylon,
that is,
all these words which have been written concerning Babylon.
61
Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, 'As soon as you come to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud,
King James Version
Chapter 51
54
A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
55
Because the
Lord
hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
56
Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the
Lord
God of recompences shall surely requite.
57
And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the
Lord
of hosts.
58
Thus saith the
Lord
of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
59

54
The sound of a cry from Babylon!
The sound of terrible destruction
from the land of the Chaldeans!
55
For the
Lord
is going to devastate Babylon;
he will silence her mighty voice.
Their waves roar like a huge torrent;
the tumult of their voice resounds,
56
for a destroyer is coming against her,
against Babylon.
Her warriors will be captured,
their bows shattered,
for the
Lord
is a God of retribution;
he will certainly repay.
57
I will make her princes and sages drunk,
along with her governors, officials, and warriors.
Then they will fall asleep forever
and never wake up. This is the King’s declaration; the
Lord
of Armies is his name.
58
This is what the
Lord
of Armies says:
Babylon’s thick walls will be totally demolished,
and her high gates set ablaze.
The peoples will have labored for nothing;
the nations will weary themselves only to feed the fire.
59
This is what the prophet Jeremiah commanded Seraiah son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, the quartermaster, when he went to Babylon with King Zedekiah of Judah in the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign.
60
Jeremiah wrote on one scroll about all the disaster that would come to Babylon; all these words were written against Babylon.
61
Jeremiah told Seraiah, "When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud.

They will fall asleep
and never wake up again!'

and her massive gates will be burned.
The builders from many lands have worked in vain,
for their work will be destroyed by fire!'

New King James Version
Chapter 51
54
The sound of a cry
comes
from Babylon,
And great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans,
55
Because the
Lord
is plundering Babylon
And silencing her loud voice,
Though her waves roar like great waters,
And the noise of their voice is uttered,
56
Because the plunderer comes against her, against Babylon,
And her mighty men are taken.
Every one of their bows is broken;
For the
Lord
is
the God of recompense,
He will surely repay.
57
“And I will make drunk
Her princes and wise men,
Her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men.
And they shall sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says the King,
Whose name
is
the
Lord
of hosts.
58
Thus says the
Lord
of hosts:
“The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken,
And her high gates shall be burned with fire;
The people will labor in vain,
And the nations, because of the fire;
And they shall be weary.”
