36. Therefore thus hath the Lord said: Behold, I judge thy cause and shall take thy vengeance; and I will dry up her sea and make her flowing waters dry.
37. And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and a hissing, without an inhabitant.
38. They shall roar together like lions; they shall roar as lions’ whelps.
39. In their heat I will place their feasts before them, and I will make them drunken that they may rejoice and sleep an eternal sleep and not wake, said the Lord.
40. I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
41. How is Sheshach a prey! and how is she who was the praise of the whole earth taken! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the Gentiles!
42. The sea is come up upon Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
