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.English Standard Version
