And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

The verse 57 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. The Jews are commanded to leave Babylon so as not to participate in its sin or perish with it. Seraiah must read the scroll and throw it into the Euphrates as a sign that Babylon will sink and not rise again. The final act turns the written prophecy into a visible symbol of the irreversibility of imperial judgment.

Ich will ihre Fürsten, Weisen, Herren und Hauptleute und Krieger trunken machen, daß sie einen ewigen Schlaf sollen schlafen, davon sie nimmermehr aufwachen, spricht der König, der da heißt HERR Zebaoth.
Y embriagaré sus príncipes y sus sabios, sus capitanes y sus nobles y sus fuertes; y dormirán sueño eterno y no despertarán, dice el Rey, cuyo nombre es Jehová de los ejércitos.
Embriagaré a sus jefes y a sus sabios, a sus gobernadores, a sus magistrados y a sus guerreros. Dormirán un sueño eterno y no despertarán —declara el Rey, cuyo nombre es Jehová de los ejércitos—».
J'enivrerai ses princes et ses sages, Ses gouverneurs, ses chefs et ses guerriers; Ils s'endormiront d'un sommeil éternel, et ne se réveilleront plus, Dit le roi, dont l'Eternel des armées est le nom.
Ed io inebbrierò i principi di quella, e i suoi savi; i suoi duci, e i suoi satrapi, e i suoi uomini prodi, sì che dormiranno un sonno perpetuo, e non si risveglieranno giammai, dice il Re, il cui Nome è: Il Signor degli eserciti.
E embriagarei os seus príncipes, e os seus sábios e os seus capitães, e os seus magistrados, e os seus poderosos; e dormirão um sono eterno, e não acordarão, diz o Rei, cujo nome é o SENHOR dos Exércitos.
