39When 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.↗
40“I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.↗

42The sea has come up on Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of its waves.↗
43Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells. No son of man passes by it.↗
44I will execute judgment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. The nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.↗
