36ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

“BeholdH2005, I will pleadH7378 your caseH7379and take vengeanceH5358 on your behalfH5360;I will dry upH2717 her seaH3220and make her springsH4726 run dryH3001.37BabylonH894 will becomeH1961 a heap of rubbleH1530,a hauntH4583 for jackalsH8577,1an object of horrorH8047 and scornH8322,withoutH369 inhabitantH3427.38They will roarH7580 togetherH3162 like young lionsH3715;they will growlH5286 like lionH738 cubsH1484.39While they are flushed with heatH2552,I will serveH7896 themH853 a feastH4960,and I will make them drunkH7937so thatH4616 they may revelH5937;then they will fall asleepH3462H8142 foreverH5769 and neverH3808 wake upH6974,declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.40I will bring them downH3381 like lambsH3733 to the slaughterH2873,like ramsH352 withH5973 male goatsH6260.
