Jeremiah 51:37-43

37and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins, the haunt of jackals, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant.

38"They shall roar together like lions; they shall growl like lions' cubs.

39While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast and make them drunk, that they may become merry, then sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake, declares the Lord.

40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams and male goats.

41"How Babylon is taken, the praise of the whole earth seized! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations!

42The sea has come up on Babylon; she is covered with its tumultuous waves.

43Her cities have become a horror, a land of drought and a desert, a land in which no one dwells, and through which no son of man passes.
