37. And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and a hissing, without an inhabitant.
38. They shall roar together like lions; they shall roar as lions’ whelps.
39. In their heat I will place their feasts before them, and I will make them drunken that they may rejoice and sleep an eternal sleep and not wake, said the Lord.
40. I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
41. How is Sheshach a prey! and how is she who was the praise of the whole earth taken! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the Gentiles!
42. The sea is come up upon Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43. Her cities were devastated, the land dry and desert, a land in which no man dwells, neither shall any son of man pass thereby.
44. And I will visit Bel himself in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up; and the Gentiles shall not flow together any more unto him; and the wall of Babylon shall fall.
