Jeremiah 51:51-58
Legacy Standard Bible
51 (A)We are ashamed because we have heard reproach;
Dishonor has covered our faces,
For (B)strangers have entered
The holy places of the house of Yahweh.
52 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh,
“When I will punish her (C)graven images,
And the mortally wounded will groan throughout her land.
53 Though Babylon should (D)ascend to the heavens,
And though she should fortify [a]her lofty stronghold,
From (E)Me destroyers will come to her,” declares Yahweh.
54 The (F)sound of an outcry from Babylon,
And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55 For Yahweh is going to destroy Babylon,
And He will make her loud [b]noise [c]vanish from her.
And their (G)waves will roar like many waters;
The rumbling of their voices [d]sounds forth.
56 For the (H)destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon,
And her mighty men will be captured;
Their (I)bows are shattered;
For Yahweh is a God of (J)recompense,
He will fully repay.
57 “I will (K)make her princes and her wise men drunk,
Her governors, her prefects, and her mighty men,
That they may sleep a (L)perpetual sleep and not wake up,”
(M)Declares the King, whose name is Yahweh of hosts.
58 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“The broad (N)wall of Babylon will be completely razed,
And her high (O)gates will be set on fire;
So the peoples will (P)toil for nothing,
And the nations become (Q)weary only for fire.”

Jeremiah 51:51-58
American Standard Version
51 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah’s house. 52 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will execute judgment upon her graven images; and through all her land the wounded shall groan. 53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall destroyers come unto her, saith Jehovah.
54 The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans! 55 For Jehovah layeth Babylon waste, and destroyeth out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is uttered: 56 for the destroyer is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah is a God of recompenses, he will surely requite. 57 And I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts. 58 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: [a]The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly [b]overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary.
