Jeremiah 51:57
New King James Version
57 “And I will make drunk
Her princes and (A)wise men,
Her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men.
And they shall sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says (B)the King,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts.
Jeremiah 51:31-39
New King James Version
31 (A)One runner will run to meet another,
And one messenger to meet another,
To show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on all sides;
32 (B)The passages are blocked,
The reeds they have burned with fire,
And the men of war are terrified.
33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
“The daughter of Babylon is (C)like a threshing floor
When (D)it is time to thresh her;
Yet a little while
(E)And the time of her harvest will come.”
34 “Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon
Has (F)devoured me, he has crushed me;
He has made me an (G)empty vessel,
He has swallowed me up like a monster;
He has filled his stomach with my delicacies,
He has spit me out.
35 Let the violence done to me and my flesh be upon Babylon,”
The inhabitant of Zion will say;
“And my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea!”
Jerusalem will say.
36 Therefore thus says the Lord:
“Behold, (H)I will plead your case and take vengeance for you.
(I)I will dry up her sea and make her springs dry.
37 (J)Babylon shall become a heap,
A dwelling place for jackals,
(K)An astonishment and a hissing,
Without an inhabitant.
38 They shall roar together like lions,
They shall growl like lions’ whelps.
39 In their excitement I will prepare their feasts;
(L)I will make them drunk,
That they may rejoice,
And sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says the Lord.
Jeremiah 51:8
New King James Version
8 Babylon has suddenly (A)fallen and been destroyed.
(B)Wail for her!
(C)Take balm for her pain;
Perhaps she may be healed.
Isaiah 45:9
New King James Version
9 “Woe to him who strives with (A)his Maker!
Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth!
(B)Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?
Isaiah 21:3-5
New King James Version
3 Therefore (A)my loins are filled with pain;
(B)Pangs have taken hold of me, like the pangs of a woman in labor.
I was [a]distressed when I heard it;
I was dismayed when I saw it.
4 My heart wavered, fearfulness frightened me;
(C)The night for which I longed He turned into fear for me.
5 (D)Prepare the table,
Set a watchman in the tower,
Eat and drink.
Arise, you princes,
Anoint the shield!

When it falls suddenly upon them.
