36Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am pleading thy cause, And I have avenged thy vengeance, And dried up its sea, and made its fountains dry.
37And Babylon hath been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38Together as young lions they roar, They have shaken themselves as lions` whelps.
39In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a sleep age-during, And awake not -- an affirmation of Jehovah.
40I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with he-goats.
41How hath Sheshach been captured, Yea, caught is the praise of the whole earth, How hath Babylon been for an astonishment among nations.
42Come up against Babylon hath the sea, With a multitude of its billows it hath been covered.
