Jeremiah 51:55
The great voice - The noises caused from multitudes of people walking up and trafficking together. A noise - The noise of her enemies that shall break in upon her shall be like the roaring of the sea.
53 aThough Babylon were to1 mount up to heaven,
And though she were to fortify the height of her strength,
Yet from Me plunderers would come to her,” says the Lord.
And though she were to fortify the height of her strength,
Yet from Me plunderers would come to her,” says the Lord.
55 Because the Lord is plundering Babylon
And silencing her loud voice,
Though her waves roar like great waters,
And the noise of their voice is uttered,
And silencing her loud voice,
Though her waves roar like great waters,
And the noise of their voice is uttered,
56 Because the plunderer comes against her, against Babylon,
And her mighty men are taken.
Every one of their bows is broken;
aFor the Lord is the God of recompense,
He will surely repay.
And her mighty men are taken.
Every one of their bows is broken;
aFor the Lord is the God of recompense,
He will surely repay.
57 “And I will make drunk
Her princes and awise men,
Her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men.
And they shall sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says bthe King,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts.
Her princes and awise men,
Her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men.
And they shall sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says bthe King,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts.
