Jeremiah 51:36-42

36This is what the Lord says: I am going to take up your cause and get revenge for you. I will dry up Babylon’s sea and make its springs dry.

37Babylon will become piles of rubble. It will become a dwelling place for jackals, something horrible, and an object of contempt, where no one lives.

38Its people are like roaring lions and growling lion cubs.

39When they are excited, I will prepare a feast for them and make them drunk so that they will shout and laugh. They will fall into a deep sleep and never wake up again, declares the Lord.

40I will take them to be slaughtered like lambs, rams, and male goats.

41“Sheshach has been captured. Babylon, the city that the whole world praised, has been taken captive.

42What a horrifying sight Babylon will be to the nations! The sea will rise over Babylon, and its roaring waves will cover it.
