Jeremiah 51:37-39

Contemporary English Version

³⁷ Babylon will be a pile of rubble
    where only jackals^[a] live,
and everyone will be afraid
    to walk among the ruins.
³⁸ The Babylonians roar and growl
    like young lions.
³⁹ And since they are hungry,
    I will give them a banquet.
They will celebrate, get drunk,
then fall asleep,
    never to wake up!
