Jeremiah 51:34-36

Modern English Version

³⁴ “Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon
    has devoured me and crushed me;
    he has made me an empty vessel.
He has swallowed me up like a dragon;
    he has filled his belly with my delicacies,
    he has cast me out.
³⁵ May the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,”
    the inhabitant of Zion will say;
and, “May my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,”
    Jerusalem will say.

I will plead your cause,
    and take vengeance for you.
And I will dry up her sea,
    and make her springs dry.
