MLV(i)
37 And Babylon will become heaps, a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38 They will roar together like young lions. They will growl as lions' cubs. 39 When they are heated, I will make their feast. And I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice and sleep an everlasting sleep and not wake, says Jehovah. 40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male-goats.
41 How Sheshach is taken and the praise of the whole earth seized! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations! 42 The sea has come up upon Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of the waves of it.
43 Her cities have become a desolation, a dry land and a desert, a land in which no man dwells, nor does any son of man pass by it. 44 And I will execute judgment upon Bel in Babylon and I will bring forth out of his mouth what he has swallowed up. And the nations will not flow any more to him. Yes, the wall of Babylon will fall.
