Jeremiah 51:41

Babylon’s Punishment

40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats. 41How Sheshach has been captured! The praise of all the earth has been seized. What a horror Babylon has become among the nations! 42The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered in turbulent waves.
