37 Babylon will become a heap of rubble,
a jackals’ den,
a desolation and an object of scorn,(A)
without inhabitant.
38 They will roar together like young lions;
they will growl like lion cubs.
39 While they are flushed with heat, I will serve them a feast,
and I will make them drunk so that they revel.[a](B)
Then they will fall asleep forever
and never wake up.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
