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.

58 Thus says the Lord of hosts:

“The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly (C)broken,[a]
And her high gates shall be burned with fire;
(D)The people will labor in vain,
And the nations, because of the fire;
And they shall be weary.”
