Jeremiah 51:34-37
34“Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has 1devoured me, he has crushed me, He has set me down like an 2empty vessel; He has 3swallowed me like a monster, He has filled his stomach with my delicacies; He has washed me away.35May the 4violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” The 5inhabitant of Zion will say; And, “May my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” Jerusalem will say. 36Therefore this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am going to 6plead your case And 7take vengeance for you; And 8I will dry up her 9sea And make her fountain dry.3710Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals, An 11object of horror and hissing, without inhabitants.
