Jeremiah 51:39-41
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
39 While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast
and make them drunk, till they swoon away[a]
and sleep a perpetual sleep
and not wake, says the Lord.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and he-goats.
41 “How Babylon[b] is taken,
the praise of the whole earth seized!
How Babylon has become
a horror among the nations!
