Jeremiah 51:40-42
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
40 I will bring them down like lambs to slaughter,
like rams and goats.
41 How she has been seized, taken captive,
the glory of the whole world!
What a horror Babylon has become among the nations:(A)
42 against Babylon the sea rises,
she is overwhelmed by roaring waves!
