In context

53For though Babylon should go up as the heaven, and though she should strengthen her walls with her power, from me shall come they that shall destroy her, saith the Lord.

54A sound of a cry in Babylon, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans:

— Jeremiah 28:55 —

56For distress has come upon Babylon, her warriors are taken, their bows are useless: for God recompenses them.

57The Lord recompenses, and will make her leaders and her wise men and her captains completely drunk, saith the King, the Lord Almighty is his name.
