Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you.
I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.
Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
They will roar together like young lions.
They will growl as lions’ cubs.
When they are inflamed, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,”
says the LORD.
“I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
