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.
43Her towns have become a waste, a dry and unwatered land, where no man has his living-place and no son of man goes by.
44And I will send punishment on Bel in Babylon, and take out of his mouth what went into it; no longer will the nations be flowing together to him: truly, the wall of Babylon will come down.
45My people, go out from her, and let every man get away safe from the burning wrath of the Lord.
