Jeremiah 51:54

"The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans! For Jehovah layeth Babylon waste, and destroyeth out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is uttered: for the destroyer is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah is a God of recompenses, he will surely requite. And I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: the broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary."

"They shall sleep ... saith the King ..." (Jeremiah 51:57). Right in the midst of all the records regarding ancient kings, governors, deputies, etc., the real KING is introduced. He is Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel.

"The broad walls of Babylon ..." (Jeremiah 51:58). Once more, we shall allow the ancient pagan authorities to tell us about those broad walls. "Herodotus gave their breadth as 85 feet, Strabo and Curtius agreed that they were 31 feet";[21] and Donald Wiseman found some pagan authority who gave the width as 25 feet![22] One ancient writer tells us that four chariots could be raced abreast upon the top of Babylon's walls.
