Jeremiah 51:36-42

36Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her spring dry.

37And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.

38They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.

39When they are heated, I will prepare their drink, and I will make them drunken, that they may exult, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.

40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.

41How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!

42The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
