Jeremiah 51:36-42

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

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

38They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions’ whelps.

39When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.

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

41How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

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