Jeremiah 51:35-37
International Standard Version
Jeremiah 51:35-37
International Standard Version
35 May the violence done to me
and my flesh be on Babylon,”
says the inhabitant of Zion.
“May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea,”
says Jerusalem.
36 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“Look, I’m going to argue your case
and take vengeance for you.
I’ll dry up her sea
and make her fountain dry.[a]
37 Babylon will become a heap of ruins,
a refuge for jackals,
a desolate place
and an object of scorn.[b]
