Jeremiah 51:37-44

³⁷Babylon will become a heap of rubble,

a haunt for jackals,

an object of horror and scorn,

without inhabitant.

³⁸They will roar together like young lions;

they will growl like lion cubs.

³⁹While they are flushed with heat,

I will serve them a feast,

and I will make them drunk

so that they may revel;

then they will fall asleep forever and never wake up,

declares the LORD.

⁴⁰I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,

like rams with male goats.

⁴¹How Sheshach has been captured!

The praise of all the earth has been seized.

What a horror Babylon has become

among the nations!

⁴²The sea has come up over Babylon;

she is covered in turbulent waves.

⁴³Her cities have become a desolation,

a dry and arid land,

a land where no one lives,

where no son of man passes through.

⁴⁴I will punish Bel in Babylon.

I will make him spew out what he swallowed.

The nations will no longer stream to him;

even the wall of Babylon will fall.
