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
Holman Christian Standard Bible
36 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
I am about to plead your case(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.
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 revel.[a](D)
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.(E)
41 How Sheshach has been captured,
the praise(F) of the whole earth seized.
What a horror Babylon has become
among the nations!(G)
42 The sea has risen over Babylon;(H)
she is covered with its turbulent waves.
43 Her cities have become a desolation,(I)
a dry and arid land,
a land where no one lives,
where no human being passes through.
44 I will punish Bel(J) in Babylon.
I will make him vomit what he swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him;
even Babylon’s wall will fall.
