Jeremiah 51:35-37

GOD’S WORD Translation

³⁵ The people who live in Zion say,
“May the violence done to us be done to Babylon.”
Jerusalem says,
“May the people of Babylon be held responsible for our deaths.”

I am going to take up your cause and get revenge for you.
I will dry up Babylon’s sea and make its springs dry.
³⁷ Babylon will become piles of rubble.
It will become a dwelling place for jackals,
something horrible, and an object of contempt,
where no one lives.
