Jeremiah 51:34-36

New Catholic Bible

³⁴ “King Nebuchadnezzar has devoured us;
    he has routed us
    and set us aside like an empty dish.
Like a serpent he has swallowed us,
    filled his stomach with our delicacies,
    and then spewed us out.
³⁵ May our torn flesh be avenged on Babylon,”
    the inhabitants of Zion say.
“May my blood be avenged
    on the inhabitants of Chaldea,”
    Jerusalem says.
³⁶ Therefore, thus says the Lord:
I will take up your cause
    and ensure that you will be avenged.
I will dry up her sea^[a]
    and cause her springs to run dry.
