Jeremiah 51:36-44
New American Standard Bible
36 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“Behold, I am going to (A)plead your case
And (B)take 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 serve them their banquet
And (G)make them drunk, so that they may rejoice in triumph,
And may (H)sleep a perpetual sleep
And not wake up,” declares the Lord.
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 has 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 engulfed by its roaring waves.
43 Her cities have become an (M)object of horror,
A dry land and a desert,
A land in which (N)no one lives
And through which no [e]one of mankind 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 toward him.
Even the (R)wall of Babylon has fallen down!

Jeremiah 51:36-44
American Standard Version
36 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry. 37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant. 38 They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions’ whelps. 39 When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah. 40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
41 How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized! how is Babylon become [a]a desolation among the nations! 42 The sea is come up upon Babylon; she is covered with the [b]multitude of the waves thereof. 43 Her cities are become [c]a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby. 44 And I will [d]execute judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
