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)
