Jeremiah 51:40-42
New King James Version

40 “I will bring them down
Like lambs to the slaughter,
Like rams with male goats.

41 “Oh, how (A)Sheshach[a] is taken!
Oh, how (B)the praise of the whole earth is seized!
How Babylon has become desolate among the nations!
42 (C)The sea has come up over Babylon;
She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
