Jeremiah 51:39-41
Evangelical Heritage Version

39 When they are ravenous, I will spread a feast.
I will make them drunk,
so that they will celebrate,[a]
and then they will go to sleep forever
and never wake up, declares the Lord.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats.

41 How Sheshak[b] is captured!
The pride of the whole earth is seized!
Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations.
