Jeremiah 51:37-43
37 a“Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals,An bobject of horror and hissing, without inhabitants.
38“They will roar together like cyoung lions,
They will growl like lions’ cubs.
39“When they become heated up, I will serve them their banquet
And dmake them drunk, that they may become jubilant
And may esleep a perpetual sleep
And not wake up,” declares the Lord.
40“I will bring them down like ▼
▼ Or young rams
lambs gto the slaughter,Like rams together with male goats.
41“How ▼
▼ Cryptic name for Babylon
,
iSheshak has been captured,And jthe praise of the whole earth been seized!
How Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations!
42“The ▼
▼ Or broad river
,
lsea has come up over Babylon;She has been engulfed with its tumultuous waves.
43“Her cities have become an mobject of horror,
A parched land and a desert,
A land in which nno man lives
And through which no son of man passes.
