Jeremiah 51:39 Context
37And Babylon shal become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing without an inhabitant. 38They shall roare together like lions; they shall yell as lions whelps. 39In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may reioyce, and sleepe a perpetuall sleepe, and not wake, saith the Lord. 40I will bring them downe like lambes to the slaughter, like rammes with hee goates. 41How is Sheshach taken? and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised? how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations?
