37. Babylon will become heaps,a dwelling place for jackals,an astonishment, and a hissing,without an inhabitant.
38. They will roar together like young lions;they will growl as lions’ whelps.
39. When they become heated up,I will make their feasts,and 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 downlike lambs to the slaughter,like rams with male goats.
41. How Sheshak has been captured!And how the praise of the whole earth has been seized!How Babylon has become an astonishmentamong the nations!
