Jeremiah 51:40-42
Common English Bible

40 I’ll lead them off
    like lambs for slaughter,
    like rams and goats.

41 How Sheshach[a] has been defeated,
    the pride of the whole earth taken captive!
How Babylon has become a wasteland
    among the nations!
42 The sea has risen over Babylon;
    its pounding waves overwhelm her.
