Jeremiah 51:38-40

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁸ “They shall roar together like lions;
    they shall growl like lions’ whelps.
³⁹ While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast
    and make them drunk, till they swoon away^[a]
and sleep a perpetual sleep
    and not wake, says the Lord.
⁴⁰ I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
    like rams and he-goats.
