51:53 Even if Babylon climbs high into the sky 1
and fortifies her elevated stronghold, 2
I will send destroyers against her,” 3
says the Lord. 4
51:58 This is what the Lord who rules over all 5 says,
“Babylon’s thick wall 6 will be completely demolished. 7
Her high gates will be set on fire.
The peoples strive for what does not satisfy. 8
The nations grow weary trying to get what will be destroyed.” 9
