38 They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.
38 They shall roar H7580 together H3162 like lions: H3715 they shall yell H5286 as lions' H738 whelps. H1484
38 They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions' whelps.
38 Together as young lions they roar, They have shaken themselves as lions' whelps.
38 They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
38 They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions' cubs.
38 They will be crying out together like lions, their voices will be like the voices of young lions.
The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken. The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid? The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin. Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.

Jer 51:59-64
We have been long attending the judgment of Babylon in this and the foregoing chapter; now here we have the conclusion of that whole matter.
