Jeremiah 51:37-40

Christian Standard Bible

³⁷ Babylon will become a heap of rubble,
a jackals’ den,
a desolation and an object of scorn,^(A)
without inhabitant.^(B)
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](C)
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.^(D)
