Jeremiah 51:36-38
International Standard Version

36 Therefore this is what the Lord says:

“Look, I’m going to argue your case
    and take vengeance for you.
I’ll dry up her sea
    and make her fountain dry.[a]
37 Babylon will become a heap of ruins,
    a refuge for jackals,
a desolate place
    and an object of scorn.[b]
38 They’ll roar together like young lions;
    they’ll growl like lion cubs.
