Jeremiah 51:54-56

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵⁴ Listen!—a cry from Babylon!
    A great crashing from the land of the Chaldeans!
⁵⁵ For the Lord is laying Babylon waste,
    and stilling her loud clamor.
Their waves roar like mighty waters,
    the sound of their clamor resounds;
⁵⁶ for a destroyer has come against her,
    against Babylon;
her warriors are taken,
    their bows are broken;
for the Lord is a God of recompense,
    he will repay in full.
