taken—when they were least expecting it, and in such a way that resistance was impossible.
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.
58 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly abroken,
And her high gates shall be burned with fire;
bThe people will labor in vain,
And the nations, because of the fire;
And they shall be weary.”
“The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly abroken,
And her high gates shall be burned with fire;
bThe people will labor in vain,
And the nations, because of the fire;
And they shall be weary.”
