36For this reason the Lord has said: See, I will give support to your cause, and take payment for what you have undergone; I will make her sea dry, and her fountain without water.
37And Babylon will become a mass of broken walls, a hole for jackals, a cause of wonder and surprise, without a living man in it.
38They will be crying out together like lions, their voices will be like the voices of young lions.
39When they are heated, I will make a feast for them, and overcome them with wine, so that they may become unconscious, sleeping an eternal sleep without awaking, says the Lord.
40I will make them go down to death like lambs, like he-goats together.
41How is Babylon taken! and the praise of all the earth surprised! how has Babylon become a cause of wonder among the nations!
42The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered with the mass of its waves.
