³⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord:
I am going to defend your cause
   and take vengeance for you.
I will dry up her sea
   and make her fountain dry;
³⁷ and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins,
   a den of jackals,
an object of horror and of hissing,
   without inhabitant.

³⁸ Like lions they shall roar together;
   they shall growl like lions’ whelps.
³⁹ When they are inflamed, I will set out their drink
   and make them drunk, until they become merry
and then sleep a perpetual sleep
   and never wake, says the Lord.
⁴⁰ I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
   like rams and goats.
