Jeremiah 51:55 in Context — Jeremiah 51

53 Mesmo se a Babilônia subisse ao céu e se fortificasse no alto seu poder, ainda assim de mim virão destruidores contra ela,diz o SENHOR.

54 [Ouve-se] som de gritos da Babilônia, e grande quebrantamento da terra dos caldeus!

55 Pois o SENHOR destrói a Babilônia, e eliminará dela [seu] grande ruído; e suas ondas bramarão, como muitas águas será o ruído da voz deles:

56 Pois o destruidor vem contra ela, contra Babilônia; seus guerreiros serão presos, o arco deles será quebrado; porque o SENHOR, Deus de retribuições, certamente dará a pagamento.

57 E embriagarei a seus príncipes e seus sábios, a seus governadores, seus chefes e seus guerreiros; e dormirão sonho perpétuo, e não despertarão, diz o Rei, cujo nome é EU-SOU dos exércitos.
