Jeremiah 51:56 in Context — Jeremiah 51

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.

58 Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Os largos muros da Babilônia serão derrubado por completo, e suas altas portas serão incendiadas a fogo; os povos trabalharão para nada, as nações para o fogo, e se cansarão.
