Jeremiah 51:35-41

Brenton(i) 35 (28:35) My troubles and my distresses have driven me out into Babylon, shall she that dwells in Sion say; and my blood shall be upon the Chaldeans dwelling there, shall Jerusalem say. 36 (28:36) Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will judge thine adversary, and I will execute vengeance for thee; and I will waste her sea, and dry up her fountain. 37 (28:37) And Babylon shall be a desolation, and shall not be inhabited. 38 (28:38) For they rose up together as lions, and as lions' whelps. 39 (28:39) In their heat I will give them a draught, and make them drunk, that they may be stupified, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and not awake, saith the Lord. 40 (28:40) And bring thou them down as lambs to the slaughter, and rams with kids. 41 (28:41) How has the boast of all the earth been taken and caught in a snare! how has Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
