40 “Babylon will be like sheep, rams, and goats waiting to be killed.
    I will lead them to the slaughter.

41 “Sheshach[a] will be defeated.
    The best and proudest country of the whole earth will be taken captive.
People from other nations will look at Babylon,
    and what they see will make them afraid.
42 The sea will rise over Babylon.
    Its roaring waves will cover her.
