Jeremiah 51:37-39
Lexham English Bible
37 And Babylon will become as a heap of stones,
a lair of jackals,
an object of horror, and an object of hissing,
without[a] inhabitants.
38 They will roar together like the young lions,
they will growl like the cubs of lions.
39 At their becoming hot I will set their banquets,
and I will make them drunk,
so that they will fall into a swoon,
and they will sleep an everlasting sleep,[b]
and they will not wake up,” declares[c] Yahweh.

New International Version
37 Babylon will be a heap of ruins,
a haunt(A) of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,(B)
a place where no one lives.(C)
38 Her people all roar like young lions,(D)
they growl like lion cubs.
39 But while they are aroused,
I will set out a feast for them
and make them drunk,(E)
so that they shout with laughter—
then sleep forever(F) and not awake,”
declares the Lord.(G)
