37 and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins,
    the haunt of jackals,
a horror and a hissing,
    without inhabitant.

38 “They shall roar together like lions;
    they shall growl like lions’ whelps.
39 While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast
    and make them drunk, till they swoon away[a]
and sleep a perpetual sleep
    and not wake, says the Lord.
