The words, “The sound of a cry comes from Babylon,” and the word of the LORD of Armies that the wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown
"바벨론에서 부르짖는 소리여" 하는 말과 바벨론의 넓은 성벽이 온전히 무너지리라는 만군의 여호와의 말씀
Jeremiah 51:54–58: “The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans! For the LORD lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice! Their waves roar like many waters. The noise of their voice is uttered. For the destroyer has come on her, even on Babylon. Her mighty men are taken. Their bows are broken in pieces, for the LORD is a God of retribution. He will surely repay. I will make her princes, her wise men, her governors, her deputies, and her mighty men drunk. They will sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies. The LORD of Armies says: “The wide walls of Babylon will be utterly overthrown. Her high gates will be burned with fire. The peoples will labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they will be weary.” The Korean Revised Version gives 51:54–56 with no word naming who speaks and opens 51:57 with 만군의 여호와라 일컫는 왕이 이같이 말씀하시되 (the King who is called the LORD of Armies said thus), where WEB keeps 51:54–57 in one quotation and closes it with “says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies”; at 51:55 it reads 그 대적이 많은 물의 요동함 같이 요란한 소리를 발하니 (their enemy makes a loud noise like the tossing of many waters), where WEB reads “Their waves roar like many waters”.
