Jeremiah 51:36-38

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁶Therefore thus says the Lord:
I am going to defend your cause
    and take vengeance for you.
I will dry up her sea
    and make her fountain dry;
³⁷and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins,
    a den of jackals,
an object of horror and of hissing,
    without inhabitant.

³⁸Like lions they shall roar together;
they shall growl like lions’ whelps.
