Jeremiah 51:35-41

MSB(i) 35 May 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. 36 Therefore 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. 37 Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals, an object of horror and scorn, without inhabitant. 38 They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs. 39 While 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. 40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats. 41 How Sheshach has been captured! The praise of all the earth has been seized. What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
