Jeremiah 51:54-56

Good News Translation

“Listen to the sound of crying in Babylon,
    of mourning for the destruction in the land.
⁵⁵ I am destroying Babylon
    and putting it to silence.
The armies rush in like roaring waves
    and attack with noisy shouts.
⁵⁶ They have come to destroy Babylon;
    its soldiers are captured,
    and their bows are broken.
I am a God who punishes evil,
    and I will treat Babylon as it deserves.
