37 Babylon will become heaps,a dwelling place for jackals,an astonishment, and a hissing,without inhabitant.
38 They will roar together like young lions.They will growl as lions’ cubs.
39 When they are heated, I will make their feast,and I will make them drunk,that they may rejoice,and sleep a perpetual sleep,and not wake up,” says the Lord.
40 “I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,like rams with male goats.
41 “How Sheshach is taken!How the praise of the whole earth seized!How Babylon has become a desolation amongst the nations!
42 The sea has come up on Babylon.She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
43 Her cities have become a desolation,a dry land, and a desert,a land in which no man dwells.No son of man passes by it.
