Jeremiah 51:36-42

36This is what the Lord says to Jerusalem: “I will be your lawyer to plead your case, and I will avenge you. I will dry up her river, as well as her springs,

37and Babylon will become a heap of ruins, haunted by jackals. She will be an object of horror and contempt, a place where no one lives.

38Her people will roar together like strong lions. They will growl like lion cubs.

39And while they lie inflamed with all their wine, I will prepare a different kind of feast for them. I will make them drink until they fall asleep, and they will never wake up again,” says the Lord.

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

41“How Babylon is fallen— great Babylon, praised throughout the earth! Now she has become an object of horror among the nations.

42The sea has risen over Babylon; she is covered by its crashing waves.
