Jeremiah 51:38-40

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁸ Like lions they shall roar together;
    they shall growl like lions’ whelps.
³⁹ When they are inflamed, I will set out their drink
    and make them drunk, until they become merry
and then sleep a perpetual sleep
    and never wake, says the Lord.
⁴⁰ I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
    like rams and goats.
