like young lions.

with kids.

Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall
fall in the midst of her.

shall give praise for Babylon: for spoilers shall come to her from the
north, saith the Lord.

of Babylon there shall fall slain in all the earth.
51:50. You that have escaped the sword, come away, stand not still:
remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51:51. We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath
covered our faces: because strangers are come upon the sanctuaries of
the house of the Lord.
51:52. Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit
her graven things, and in all her land the wounded shall groan:
51:53. If Babylon should mount up to heaven, and establish her strength
on high: from me there should come spoilers upon her, saith the Lord.

her valiant men are taken, and their bow is weakened, because the Lord,
who is a strong revenger, will surely repay.

captains, and her rulers, and her valiant men: and they shall sleep an
everlasting sleep, and shall awake no more, saith the king whose name is
Lord of hosts.
