Jeremiah 51:51-58
English Standard Version
51 (A)‘We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach;
(B)dishonor has covered our face,
(C)for foreigners have come
into the holy places of the Lord's house.’
52 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when (D)I will execute judgment upon her images,
(E)and through all her land
the wounded shall groan.
53 Though Babylon should (F)mount up to heaven,
and though she should (G)fortify her strong height,
yet destroyers would come from me against her,
declares the Lord.
54 (H)“A voice! A cry from Babylon!
The noise of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55 For the Lord is laying Babylon waste
and stilling her mighty voice.
(I)Their waves roar like many waters;
the noise of their voice is raised,
56 for a destroyer has come upon her,
upon Babylon;
her warriors are taken;
their bows are broken in pieces,
(J)for the Lord is a God of recompense;
he will surely repay.
57 (K)I will make drunk her officials and her wise men,
(L)her governors, her commanders, and her warriors;
they shall sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake,
declares (M)the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
58 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
The broad (N)wall of Babylon
shall be leveled to the ground,
(O)and her high gates
shall be burned with fire.
(P)The peoples labor for nothing,
and (Q)the nations weary themselves only for fire.”
Jeremiah 51:51-58
International Standard Version
51 We have been put to shame
because we have heard insults.
Disgrace has covered our faces because foreigners have
come into the Holy Places of the Lord’s house.
52 “Therefore, look, days are coming,”
declares the Lord,
“when I’ll punish her idols,
and throughout her land the wounded will groan.
53 Though Babylon should reach up to the heavens
and fortify her high fortresses,
from me destroyers will come to her,”
declares the Lord.
54 “The sound of a cry is coming from Babylon,
great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans.
55 For the Lord is destroying Babylon,
and he will make the loud sounds from her disappear.[a]
Their waves will roar like many waters,
the noise of their voices will sound forth.
56 Indeed, the destroyer is coming against her,
against Babylon.
Her warriors are captured,
and her bows are broken.
For the Lord is a God of recompense,
and he will repay in full.
57 I’ll make their leaders, their wise men,
their governors, their deputies,
and their warriors drunk so that they sleep forever
and don’t wake up,”
declares the King
whose name is the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.
58 This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says:
“The broad wall of Babylon will be completely leveled,
and its high gate set on fire.
and so the peoples toil for nothing,
and the nations weary themselves only for fire.”
