For the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon.
Her mighty men are taken.
Their bows are broken in pieces, for the LORD is a God of retribution.
He will surely repay.
I will make her princes, her wise men, her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men drunk.
They will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,”
says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
The LORD of Armies says: “The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown.
Her high gates will be burned with fire.
The peoples will labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.”
