³⁹ But when they are afflicted with fever,
    I will set a drink before them
and cause them to become drunk
    so that they will sink into an unending sleep,
    never to awaken again, says the Lord.
⁴⁰ I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
    like rams and goats.
⁴¹ Babylon has been seized and conquered,
    she who was the pride of the entire world.
What an object of horror
    has Babylon become among the nations.
