Jeremiah 51:37-43

37Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals,1 an object of horror and scorn, without inhabitant.38They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs.39While they are flushed with heat, I will serve them a feast, and I will make them drunk so that they may revel; then they will fall asleep forever and never wake up, declares the LORD.40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.

41How Sheshach2 has been captured!The praise of all the earth has been seized.What a horror Babylon has becomeamong the nations!42The sea has come up over Babylon;she is covered in turbulent waves.43Her cities have become a desolation,a dry and arid land,a land where no one lives,where no son of man passes through.
