Jeremiah 51:36-42

36Therefore thus says Adonai: “Yes, I will uphold your cause and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.

37Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling for jackals, a horror and a hissing, uninhabited.

38They roar together like young lions, growl like lions cubs.

39When they become hot, I will set out a banquet for them and will make them so drunk that they become merry— and then sleep a perpetual sleep and never awake.” It is a declaration of Adonai.

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

41How has Sheshach been taken, the praise of the whole earth seized? How has Babylon become a horror among the nations!

42The sea has risen over Babylon— she is covered with its roaring waves.
