Jeremiah 51:34-36

The Voice

³⁴ Citizens of Jerusalem (crying out to God): Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, has devoured us.
        He has squeezed the life out of us and left us an empty jar.
    Like a monster from the sea, he swallowed us
        and gorged himself on the richness of Israel
    Only to cough us up and throw us out.
³⁵     “May the violence done to our people be repaid to Babylon,”
        we the people of Zion pray.
    “May our blood be upon those who live in Chaldea,”
        so Jerusalem prays.

³⁶ Eternal One: Watch now as I defend your case
        and avenge what was done to you.
    I will expose this monster and dry up her sea.
        I will deplete her wellsprings.
