Jeremiah 51:37-39

New International Reader's Version

³⁷ Babylon will have all its buildings knocked down.
    It will be a home for wild dogs.
No one will live there.
    People will be shocked at it.
    They will make fun of it.
³⁸ All its people roar like young lions.
    They growl like lion cubs.
³⁹ They are stirred up.
    So I will set a feast in front of them.
    I will make them drunk.
And they will shout and laugh.
    But then they will lie down and die.
    They will never wake up,”
    announces the Lord.
