Jeremiah 51:39-41
International Standard Version
39 When they’re excited[a] I’ll serve them their banquet,
and make them drunk until they’re merry.
They’ll sleep forever and won’t wake up,”
declares the Lord.
40 “I’ll bring them down like lambs for the slaughter,
like rams with male goats.
41 “How Sheshak[b] will be captured,
and the prince of all the earth seized!
How Babylon will become an object of horror
among the nations!
