| 54 | "Hark! a cry from Babylon! The noise of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans! | Further destruction on Babylon. Jr.51.54-58 | קֹול זְעָקָה מִבָּבֶל וְשֶׁבֶר גָּדֹול מֵאֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים׃ |
| 55 | For Yahweh is laying Babylon waste, and stilling her mighty voice. Their waves roar like many waters, the noise of their voice is raised; | כִּי־שֹׁדֵד יְהוָה אֶת־בָּבֶל וְאִבַּד מִמֶּנָּה קֹול גָּדֹול וְהָמוּ גַלֵּיהֶם כְּמַיִם רַבִּים נִתַּן שְׁאֹון קֹולָם׃ | |
| 56 | for a destroyer has come upon her, upon Babylon; her warriors are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for Yahweh is a God of recompense, he will surely requite. | כִּי בָא עָלֶיהָ עַל־בָּבֶל שֹׁודֵד וְנִלְכְּדוּ גִּבֹּורֶיהָ חִתְּתָה קַשְּׁתֹותָם כִּי אֵל גְּמֻלֹות יְהוָה שַׁלֵּם יְשַׁלֵּם׃ | |
| 57 | I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors, her commanders, and her warriors; they shall sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of hosts. | וְהִשְׁכַּרְתִּי שָׂרֶיהָ וַחֲכָמֶיהָ פַּחֹותֶיהָ וּסְגָנֶיהָ וְגִבֹּורֶיהָ וְיָשְׁנוּ שְׁנַת־עֹולָם וְלֹא יָקִיצוּ נְאֻם־הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוָה צְבָאֹות שְׁמֹו׃ ס | |
| 58 | "Thus says Yahweh of hosts: The broad wall of Babylon shall be leveled to the ground and her high gates shall be burned with fire. The peoples labour for nought, and the nations weary themselves only for fire." | כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות חֹמֹות בָּבֶל הָרְחָבָה עַרְעֵר תִּתְעַרְעָר וּשְׁעָרֶיהָ הַגְּבֹהִים בָּאֵשׁ יִצַּתּוּ וְיִגְעוּ עַמִּים בְּדֵי־רִיק וּלְאֻמִּים בְּדֵי־אֵשׁ וְיָעֵפוּ׃ ס | |
