Jeremiah 51:37-39
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
37 Babylon shall become a heap of ruins,
a haunt of jackals;
A place of horror and hissing,
without inhabitants.(A)
38 They roar like lions,
growl like lion cubs.(B)
39 When they are parched, I will set drink before them
to make them drunk, that they may be overcome
with everlasting sleep, never to awaken—
oracle of the Lord.
