37
Bavel shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38
They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions' whelps.
39
When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the LORD.
40
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.
41
How is Sheshakh taken! and the praise of the whole eretz seized! how is Bavel become a desolation among the nations!
42
The sea is come up on Bavel; she is covered with the multitude of the waves of it.
43
Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land in which no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass thereby.
44
I will execute judgment on Bel in Bavel, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more to him: yes, the wall of Bavel shall fall.
45
My people, go you out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46
Don't let your heart faint, neither fear for the news that shall be heard in the land; for news shall come one year, and after that in another year [shall come] news, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47
Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment on the engraved images of Bavel; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
