³⁸ Babylon’s people roar like young lions;
    they growl like baby lions.
³⁹ While they are ·stirred [heated] up,
    I will give ·a feast for [drinks to] them
    and make them drunk.
They will shout and laugh.
    And they will sleep forever and never wake up!” says the Lord.
⁴⁰ “I will take them [^Cpeople of Babylon] to be ·killed [slaughtered].
    They will be like lambs,
like sheep and goats [11:19; 12:3].
