Jeremiah 51:39-41

39 (A)While they are inflamed (B)I will prepare them a feast
and (C)make them drunk, that they may become merry,
(D)then sleep a perpetual sleep
and not wake, declares the Lord.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and male goats.

(F)the praise of the whole earth (G)seized!
How Babylon has become
a horror among the nations!
