39 They are acting like powerful lions.
    I will give a party for them.
    I will make them drunk.
They will laugh and have a good time,
    and then they will sleep forever.
    They will never wake up.”

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.
