Jeremiah 51:39-41

Common English Bible

³⁹ They are ready to devour,
    so I’ll prepare the feast
        and mix the drinks!
But after their noisy drunkenness,
    they will fall fast asleep.
    They will sleep forever,
        never to get up,
        declares the Lord.
⁴⁰ I’ll lead them off
    like lambs for slaughter,
    like rams and goats.

⁴¹ How Sheshach^[a] has been defeated,
    the pride of the whole earth taken captive!
How Babylon has become a wasteland
    among the nations!
