Jeremiah 51:37-39

New Catholic Bible

³⁷ Babylon will become a heap of ruins,
    a haunt of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,
    where no one lives.
³⁸ Like lions they roar together
    and growl like lion cubs.
³⁹ But when they are afflicted with fever,
    I will set a drink before them
and cause them to become drunk
    so that they will sink into an unending sleep,
    never to awaken again, says the Lord.
