Jeremiah 51:34-36

New International Version - UK

³⁴ ‘Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured us,
    he has thrown us into confusion,
    he has made us an empty jar.
Like a serpent he has swallowed us
    and filled his stomach with our delicacies,
    and then has spewed us out.
³⁵ May the violence done to our flesh^[a] be on Babylon,’
    say the inhabitants of Zion.
‘May our blood be on those who live in Babylonia,’
    says Jerusalem.

‘See, I will defend your cause
    and avenge you;
I will dry up her sea
    and make her springs dry.
