Jeremiah 51:37-39

The Voice

³⁷     Babylon will be reduced to a heap of rubble,
        the haunt of jackals,
    An object of horror and hissing scorn,
        a place where no one lives.
³⁸     O how this nation roars! Like a pack of young lions,
        like lion cubs, they growl.
³⁹     And once they are stirred up,
        I will lay out a feast and make them all drunk
        until they laugh and feel happy.
    But when they fall asleep, they will sleep forever.
        This is what I, the Eternal One, promise you.
