Jeremiah 51:38-40
Contemporary English Version
38 The Babylonians roar and growl
like young lions.
39 And since they are hungry,
I will give them a banquet.
They will celebrate, get drunk,
then fall asleep,
never to wake up!
40 I will lead them away to die,
like sheep, lambs, and goats
being led to the butcher.
Jeremiah 51:38-40
New International Version
38 Her people all roar like young lions,(A)
they growl like lion cubs.
39 But while they are aroused,
I will set out a feast for them
and make them drunk,(B)
so that they shout with laughter—
then sleep forever(C) and not awake,”
declares the Lord.(D)
40 “I will bring them down
like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats.(E)
