Jeremiah 51:35-41
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 51

35May the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,' The inhabitant of Zion will say; And, 'May my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,' Jerusalem will say. 36Therefore this is what the Lord says: 'Behold, I am going to plead your case And take vengeance for you; And I will dry up her sea And make her fountain dry. 37Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals, An object of horror and hissing, without inhabitants. 38They will roar together like young lions, They will growl like lions’ cubs. 39When they become heated up, I will serve them their banquet And make them drunk, so that they may rejoice in triumph, And may sleep a perpetual sleep And not wake up,' declares the Lord. 40'I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, Like rams together with male goats. 41'How Sheshak has been captured, And the praise of the whole earth has been seized! How Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations!
King James Version

Chapter 51

35The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
36Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
37And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
38They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.
39In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the Lord.
40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
41How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 51

35Let the violence done to me and my family be done to Babylon," says the inhabitant of Zion. "Let my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea," says Jerusalem.
36Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am about to champion your cause and take vengeance on your behalf; I will dry up her sea and make her fountain run dry. 37Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a jackals’ den, a desolation and an object of scorn, without inhabitant. 38They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs.
39While they are flushed with heat, I will serve them a feast, and I will make them drunk so that they celebrate. Then they will fall asleep forever and never wake up. This is the Lord’s declaration.
40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams together with male goats. 41How Sheshach has been captured, the praise of the whole earth seized. What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
New Living Translation

Chapter 51

35Make Babylon suffer as she made us suffer,' say the people of Zion. 'Make the people of Babylonia pay for spilling our blood,' says Jerusalem.
36This is what the Lord says to Jerusalem: 'I will be your lawyer to plead your case, and I will avenge you. I will dry up her river, as well as her springs, 37and Babylon will become a heap of ruins, haunted by jackals. She will be an object of horror and contempt, a place where no one lives. 38Her people will roar together like strong lions. They will growl like lion cubs. 39And while they lie inflamed with all their wine, I will prepare a different kind of feast for them. I will make them drink until they fall asleep, and they will never wake up again,' says the Lord. 40'I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams and goats to be sacrificed.
41'How Babylon is fallen — great Babylon, praised throughout the earth! Now she has become an object of horror among the nations.
English Standard Version

Chapter 51

35The violence done to me and to my kinsmen be upon Babylon," let the inhabitant of Zion say. "My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea," let Jerusalem say. 36Therefore thus says the Lord: "Behold, I will plead your cause and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea and make her fountain dry, 37and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins, the haunt of jackals, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant. 38 "They shall roar together like lions; they shall growl like lions ' cubs. 39 While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast and make them drunk, that they may become merry, then sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake, declares the Lord. 40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams and male goats. 41"How Babylon is taken, the praise of the whole earth seized! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations!
New International Version

Chapter 51

35May the violence done to our flesh be on Babylon," say the inhabitants of Zion. "May our blood be on those who live in Babylonia," says Jerusalem.
36Therefore this is what the Lord says: "See, I will defend your cause and avenge you; I will dry up her sea and make her springs dry. 37Babylon will be a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals, an object of horror and scorn, a place where no one lives. 38Her people all roar like young lions, they growl like lion cubs. 39But while they are aroused, I will set out a feast for them and make them drunk, so that they shout with laughter— then sleep forever and not awake," declares the Lord.
40"I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams and goats. 41"How Sheshak will be captured, the boast of the whole earth seized! How desolate Babylon will be among the nations!
New King James Version

Oh, how the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become desolate among the nations!
