Jeremiah 51:39-41
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
39 When they are inflamed, I will set out their drink
and make them drunk, until they become merry
and then sleep a perpetual sleep
and never wake, says the Lord.(A)
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats.(B)
41 How Sheshach[a] is taken;
the pride of the whole earth seized!
How Babylon has become
an object of horror among the nations!(C)
