Jeremiah 51:35-37

Living Bible

^34-35 The Jews in Babylon say, “Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, has eaten and crushed us and emptied out our strength; he has swallowed us like a great monster and filled his belly with our riches; he has cast us out of our own country. May Babylon be repaid for all she did to us! May she be paid in full for all our blood she spilled!”

³⁶ And the Lord replies: I will be your lawyer; I will plead your case; I will avenge you. I will dry up her river, her water supply, ³⁷ and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins, haunted by jackals, a land horrible to see, incredible, without a living soul.
