Jeremiah 51:37-43
37 “ aBabylon 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, so that they may rejoice in triumph,
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 has 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 by its roaring waves.
43 “Her cities have become an mobject of horror,
A dry land and a desert,
A land in which nno one lives
And through which no ▼
▼Lit son of man
one of mankind passes.
