Jeremiah 51:37-41

New International Version

³⁷ Babylon will be a heap of ruins,
    a haunt^(A) of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,^(B)
    a place where no one lives.^(C)
38 Her people all roar like young lions,^(D)
    they growl like lion cubs.
³⁹ But while they are aroused,
    I will set out a feast for them
    and make them drunk,^(E)
so that they shout with laughter—
    then sleep forever^(F) and not awake,”
declares the Lord.^(G)
40 “I will bring them down
    like lambs to the slaughter,
    like rams and goats.^(H)

⁴¹ “How Sheshak^[a](I) will be captured,^(J)
    the boast of the whole earth seized!
How desolate^(K) Babylon will be
    among the nations!
