Jeremiah 51:51-58
New American Standard Bible
51 (A)We are ashamed because we have heard rebuke;
Disgrace has covered our faces,
Because (B)strangers have entered
The holy places of the Lord’s house.
52 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“When I will punish her (C)idols,
And the mortally wounded will groan throughout her land.
53 Though Babylon (D)ascends to the heavens,
And though she fortifies [a]her lofty stronghold,
Destroyers will come from (E)Me to her,” declares the Lord.
54 The (F)sound of an outcry from Babylon,
And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55 For the Lord is going to destroy Babylon,
And He will make her loud [b]noise vanish from her.
And their (G)waves will roar like many waters;
The clamor of their voices [c]sounds forth.
56 For the (H)destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon,
And her warriors will be captured,
Their (I)bows shattered;
For the Lord is a God of (J)retribution,
He will fully repay.
57 “I will (K)make her leaders and her wise men drunk,
Her governors, her officials, and her warriors,
So that they will sleep a (L)perpetual sleep and not wake up,”
(M)Declares the King, whose name is the Lord of armies.
58 This is what the Lord of armies says:
“The broad (N)wall of Babylon will be completely demolished,
And her high (O)gates will be set on fire;
So the peoples will (P)labor for nothing,
And the nations become (Q)exhausted only for fire.”

Revised Standard Version
51 ‘We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach;
dishonor has covered our face,
for aliens have come
into the holy places of the Lord’s house.’
52 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will execute judgment upon her images,
and through all her land
the wounded shall groan.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven,
and though she should fortify her strong height,
yet destroyers would come from me upon her,
says the Lord.
54 “Hark! a cry from Babylon!
The noise of great destruction from the land of the Chalde′ans!
55 For the Lord is laying Babylon waste,
and stilling her mighty voice.
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;
for the Lord is a God of recompense,
he will surely requite.
57 I will make drunk her princes and her wise men,
her governors, her commanders, and her warriors;
they shall sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake,
says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
58 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
The broad wall of Babylon
shall be leveled to the ground
and her high gates
shall be burned with fire.
The peoples labor for nought,
and the nations weary themselves only for fire.”
