Jeremiah 51:40-42
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
    like rams and goats.

41 How Sheshach[a] is taken,
    the pride of the whole earth seized!
How Babylon has become
    an object of horror among the nations!
42 The sea has risen over Babylon;
    she has been covered by its tumultuous waves.
