Jeremiah 51:38-40

New Century Version

³⁸ Babylon’s people roar like young lions;
    they growl like baby lions.
³⁹ While they are stirred up,
    I will give a feast for them
    and make them drunk.
They will shout and laugh.
    And they will sleep forever and never wake up!” says the Lord.
⁴⁰ “I will take the people of Babylon to be killed.
    They will be like lambs,
    like sheep and goats waiting to be killed.
