51:57 “I will make her officials and wise men drunk,

along with her governors, leaders, ¹  and warriors.

They will fall asleep forever and never wake up,” ² 

says the King whose name is the Lord who rules over all. ³ 

51:58 This is what the Lord who rules over all ⁴  says,

“Babylon’s thick wall ⁵  will be completely demolished. ⁶ 

Her high gates will be set on fire.

The peoples strive for what does not satisfy. ⁷ 

The nations grow weary trying to get what will be destroyed.” ⁸
