Jeremiah 51:41 in Context — Jeremiah 51

39 En su calor les pondré sus banquetes; y haréles que se embriaguen, para que se alegren, y duerman eterno sueño, y no despierten, dice Jehová.

40 Hacerlos he traer como corderos al matadero, como carneros con cabritos.

41 ¡Cómo fué presa Sesach, y fué tomada la que era alabada por toda la tierra! ¡Cómo fué Babilonia por espanto entre las gentes!

42 Subió la mar sobre Babilonia; de la multitud de sus ondas fué cubierta.

43 Sus ciudades fueron asoladas, la tierra seca y desierta, tierra que no morará en ella nadie, ni pasará por ella hijo de hombre.
