Jeremiah 51:37-39
Revised Standard Version
Jeremiah 51:37-39
Revised Standard Version
37 and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins,
the haunt of jackals,
a horror and a hissing,
without inhabitant.
38 “They shall roar together like lions;
they shall growl like lions’ whelps.
39 While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast
and make them drunk, till they swoon away[a]
and sleep a perpetual sleep
and not wake, says the Lord.
