Jeremiah 51:39-41
New King James Version
Jeremiah 51:39-41
New King James Version
39 In their excitement I will prepare their feasts;
(A)I will make them drunk,
That they may rejoice,
And sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says the Lord.
40 “I will bring them down
Like lambs to the slaughter,
Like rams with male goats.
41 “Oh, how (B)Sheshach[a] is taken!
Oh, how (C)the praise of the whole earth is seized!
How Babylon has become desolate among the nations!
