Jeremiah

³⁷Babylon will become heaps,a dwelling place for jackals,an astonishment, and a hissing,without inhabitant. ³⁸They will roar together like young lions.They will growl as lions’ cubs. ³⁹When 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 among the nations! ⁴²The sea has come up on Babylon.She is covered with the multitude of its waves. ⁴³Her 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.
