Jeremiah 51:39-41
New International Version - UK
39 But while they are aroused,
I will set out a feast for them
and make them drunk,
so that they shout with laughter –
then sleep for ever and not awake,’
declares the Lord.
40 ‘I will bring them down
like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats.
41 ‘How Sheshak[a] will be captured,
the boast of the whole earth seized!
How desolate Babylon will be
among the nations!
