Jeremiah 51:34-35
1599 Geneva Bible
34 Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babel hath [a]devoured me, and destroyed me: he hath made me an empty vessel: he swallowed me up like a dragon: and filled his belly with my delicates, and hath cast me out.
35 The spoil of me, and that which was left of me, is brought unto Babel, shall the inhabitant of Zion say: and my blood unto the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.

and then has spewed(D) us out.
35 May the violence(E) done to our flesh[a] be on Babylon,”
say the inhabitants of Zion.
