Jeremiah 51:38-40

New International Reader's Version

³⁸ All its people roar like young lions.
    They growl like lion cubs.
³⁹ They are stirred up.
    So I will set a feast in front of them.
    I will make them drunk.
And they will shout and laugh.
    But then they will lie down and die.
    They will never wake up,”
    announces the Lord.
⁴⁰ “I will lead them down like lambs to be put to death.
    They will be like rams and goats that have been killed.
