Jeremiah 51:35-37

The Voice

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.

³⁶Eternal 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.
³⁷    Babylon will be reduced to a heap of rubble,
        the haunt of jackals,
    An object of horror and hissing scorn,
        a place where no one lives.
