Jeremiah 51:36-44
New International Version
Jeremiah 51:36-44
New International Version
36 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“See, I will defend your cause(A)
and avenge(B) you;
I will dry up(C) her sea
and make her springs dry.
37 Babylon will be a heap of ruins,
a haunt(D) of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,(E)
a place where no one lives.(F)
38 Her people all roar like young lions,(G)
they growl like lion cubs.
39 But while they are aroused,
I will set out a feast for them
and make them drunk,(H)
so that they shout with laughter—
then sleep forever(I) and not awake,”
declares the Lord.(J)
40 “I will bring them down
like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats.(K)
41 “How Sheshak[a](L) will be captured,(M)
the boast of the whole earth seized!
How desolate(N) Babylon will be
among the nations!
42 The sea will rise over Babylon;
its roaring waves(O) will cover her.
43 Her towns will be desolate,
a dry and desert(P) land,
a land where no one lives,
through which no one travels.(Q)
44 I will punish Bel(R) in Babylon
and make him spew out(S) what he has swallowed.
The nations will no longer stream to him.
And the wall(T) of Babylon will fall.

Lexham English Bible
36 Therefore[a] thus says Yahweh,
“Look, I am going to contend your case,
and I will avenge your vengeance,
and I will cause her sea to dry up,
and I will cause her fountain to dry up.
37 And Babylon will become as a heap of stones,
a lair of jackals,
an object of horror, and an object of hissing,
without[b] inhabitants.
38 They will roar together like the young lions,
they will growl like the cubs of lions.
39 At their becoming hot I will set their banquets,
and I will make them drunk,
so that they will fall into a swoon,
and they will sleep an everlasting sleep,[c]
and they will not wake up,” declares[d] Yahweh.
40 “I will bring them down like young rams to slaughter,
like rams and goats.
41 How Sheshach is captured,
and the glory of all the earth is seized!
How Babylon has become as an object of horror
among the nations!
42 The sea has risen over Babylon,
she has been covered by the roar of its waves.
43 Her cities have become as an object of horror,
a dry land and a wilderness,[e]
a land in which no person lives,
nor does a son of humankind pass through it.
44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon,
and I will wrench out from his mouth what he has swallowed.[f]
And the nations will not stream towards him any longer
what’s worse,[g] the wall of Babylon has fallen.
