Jeremiah 51:37-43

³⁷“Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals, An object of horror and hissing, without inhabitants. ³⁸“They will roar together like young lions, They will growl like lions’ cubs. ³⁹“When they become heated up, I will serve them their banquet And make them drunk, that they may become jubilant And may sleep a perpetual sleep And not wake up,” declares the Lord. ⁴⁰“I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, Like rams together with male goats. ⁴¹“How Sheshak has been captured, And the praise of the whole earth been seized! How Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations! ⁴²“The sea has come up over Babylon; She has been engulfed with its tumultuous waves. ⁴³“Her cities have become an object of horror, A parched land and a desert, A land in which no man lives And through which no son of man passes.
