Jeremiah 51:57-59

Christian Standard Bible

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.^(A)
This is the King’s declaration;
the Lord of Armies is his name.^(B)

Babylon’s thick walls will be totally demolished,^(C)
and her high gates set ablaze.
The peoples will have labored for nothing;^(D)
the nations will weary themselves only to feed the fire.
