Jeremiah 51:37-39

Modern English Version

³⁷ Babylon will become heaps,
    a dwelling place for jackals,
an astonishment, and a hissing,
    without an inhabitant.
³⁸ They will roar together like young lions;
    they will growl as lions’ whelps.
³⁹ When they become heated up,
    I will make their feasts,
    and I will make them drunk,
that they may rejoice,
    and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake,
    says the Lord.
