37 Babylon will become a heap of ruins,
a haunt for jackals,
a horror and a target of contempt,[a]
and no one will live there.
38 They will all roar together like young lions.
They will growl like lion cubs.

I will make them drunk,
so that they will celebrate,[b]
and then they will go to sleep forever
and never wake up, declares the Lord.
