Jeremiah 51

⁴⁰ I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats.

⁴¹ How Sheshach has been captured! The praise of all the earth has been seized. What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!

⁴² The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered in turbulent waves.

⁴³ Her cities have become a desolation, a dry and arid land, a land where no one lives, where no son of man passes through.

⁴⁴ I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will make him spew out what he swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him; even the wall of Babylon will fall.
