Jeremiah 51:35-41

³⁵May the violence done to me

and to my flesh

be upon Babylon,”

says the dweller of Zion.

“May my blood be on the dwellers of Chaldea,”

says Jerusalem.

³⁶Therefore this is what the LORD says:

“Behold, I will plead your case

and take vengeance on your behalf;

I will dry up her sea

and make her springs run dry.

³⁷Babylon will become a heap of rubble,

a haunt for jackals,

an object of horror and scorn,

without inhabitant.

³⁸They will roar together like young lions;

they will growl like lion cubs.

³⁹While they are flushed with heat,

I will serve them a feast,

and I will make them drunk

so that they may revel;

then they will fall asleep forever and never wake up,

declares the LORD.

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!
