Jeremiah 51:35-37

New Catholic Bible

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.
³⁷ Babylon will become a heap of ruins,
    a haunt of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,
    where no one lives.
