Jeremiah 51:35-37
Living Bible

34-35 The Jews in Babylon say, “Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, has eaten and crushed us and emptied out our strength; he has swallowed us like a great monster and filled his belly with our riches; he has cast us out of our own country. May Babylon be repaid for all she did to us! May she be paid in full for all our blood she spilled!”

36 And the Lord replies: I will be your lawyer; I will plead your case; I will avenge you. I will dry up her river, her water supply, 37 and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins, haunted by jackals, a land horrible to see, incredible, without a living soul.

35 May the violence(A) done to our flesh[a] be on Babylon,”
    say the inhabitants of Zion.
“May our blood be on those who live in Babylonia,”

“See, I will defend your cause(C)
    and avenge(D) you;
I will dry up(E) her sea
    and make her springs dry.
37 Babylon will be a heap of ruins,
    a haunt(F) of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,(G)
    a place where no one lives.(H)
