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.
