Jeremiah 51:36-44
Legacy Standard Bible
36 Therefore thus says Yahweh,
“Behold, I am going to (A)plead your case
And (B)exact full vengeance for you;
And (C)I will dry up her [a]sea
And make her fountain dry.
37 (D)Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals,
An (E)object of horror and hissing, without inhabitants.
38 They will roar together like (F)young lions;
They will growl like lions’ cubs.
39 When they become heated up, I will set before them their feast
And (G)make them drunk, that they may exult
And may (H)sleep a perpetual sleep
And not wake up,” declares Yahweh.
40 “I will bring them down like [b]lambs (I)to the slaughter,
Like rams together with male goats.
41 “How [c](J)Sheshak has been captured,
And (K)the praise of the whole earth been seized!
How Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations!
42 The [d](L)sea has come up over Babylon;
She has been covered with its tumultuous waves.
43 Her cities have become an (M)object of horror,
A parched land, and a desert,
A land in which (N)no man lives
And through which no son of man passes.
44 (O)I will punish Bel in Babylon,
And I will make what he has swallowed (P)come out of his mouth;
And the nations will no longer (Q)stream to him.
Even the (R)wall of Babylon has fallen down!

Christian Standard Bible
36 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
I am about to champion your cause(A)
and take vengeance on your behalf;
I will dry up her sea(B)
and make her fountain run dry.
37 Babylon will become a heap of rubble,
a jackals’ den,
a desolation and an object of scorn,(C)
without inhabitant.(D)
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 celebrate.[a](E)
Then they will fall asleep forever
and never wake up.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams together with male goats.(F)
41 How Sheshak[b](G) has been captured,(H)
the praise(I) of the whole earth seized.
What a horror Babylon has become
among the nations!(J)
42 The sea has risen over Babylon;(K)
she is covered with its tumultuous waves.
43 Her cities have become a desolation,(L)
an arid desert,
a land where no one lives,
where no human being even passes through.
44 I will punish Bel(M) in Babylon.
I will make him vomit what he swallowed.(N)
The nations will no longer stream to him;(O)
even Babylon’s wall will fall.
